The tech can't say anything straight away. Medical diagnosis falls outside their offical area of training and expertise so they are not permitted to do it. I had a conversation about it with the tech who did my MRI on my knee a few years ago. He did admit that yeah, they do have some idea what they are seeing obviously, especially if they're an experienced MRI tech. Their job is partly to make sure the images produced are useful for someone else to diagnose from after all! But they're not legally permitted to give medical diagnosis, nor even to tell you anything at all about what they think they saw.
