Don't get me wrong, I've had nurses way smarter than doctors... And ones that have given me lab results and such, but it's always been a doctor that has gone over imaging findings with me. And depending on the imaging used, the radiologist read it first and then it's just the doctor relaying the findings of the radiologist.
