9.7.2 component/section - Communication of Actionable Findings

It is possible for an imaging report to be legally signed (authenticated) prior to the Actionable Findings being properly communicated. In this event, an addendum to the imaging report is often created to document the communication of the actionable findings. This can be included in the section/text of the 9.7 Addendum, or using the 9.8.10 Communication of Actionable Findings subsection.
