Italian term or phrase: MEDICO REFERTANTE
Cari colleghi, nell'ambito di un referto medico che segue esame TC ADDOME COMPLETO E TORACE - caso di carcinoma all'esofago - trovo:

"IL RICHIEDENTE: DOTTORESSA...
IL TECNICO ESECUTORE: DOTTORESSA....
MEDICO REFERTANTE: PROF. ...."

Come tradurreste MEDICO REFERTANTE?
Il referto proviene da: U.O. radiologia oncologia Senologica - ospedale policlinico in Italia

Pensavo a come combinare le parole:
"Medical Report Doctor" Ma non riesco a trovare nessuna fonte ufficiale con un'espressione che riflette il significato in italiano.
Potete aiutarmi? Grazie mille del vostro input. La vostra collega Naomi H.

referring physician


Explanation:
Since one doctor seems to be making a request for one of her patients to receive specialized treatment at the appropriate facility, after an X-ray was carried out: https://www.tititudorancea.com/z/referring_physician.htm

In the US, we almost always use "referring physician".

neutral  Cristina Bufi Poecksteiner, M.A.: No, "referring physician" (medico referente) is not the same as "medico refertante", che scrive un *referto* medico (medical report). Translating I have to understand exactly the content. But I do not have "to guess" who may be doing what.
15 mins
  -> But doesn't the referring physician who requests the appropriate treatment or procedure for a patient have to send over a report to the specialist in question?

neutral  JudyC: The referring physician can send the specialist what's called a "letter of referral"
