MRI results delay - panic. Any MRI tech's here?

I had an MRI on my jaw and nerves three weeks ago. 10 days later the consultant calls me and says all is fine EXCEPT for a finding on the opposite side to my jaw issue. Says I'll need another MRI with contrast. Could be a 10mm 'something' on my hearing nerve or could be an artifact or just a blood vessel. I assumed it would be one of those things to be looked at in due course, but then the next day the MRI dept rings me and gets me in the day after that. Turns out they think i'm allergic to contrast so couldn't do it. They went and asked the radiographer who looked at the first scan and was going to cancel the second, but decided as I was there to do another one, I assume from another angle. Before I left the radiologist went and asked the radiographer if they were happy or if they needed more and they said no more was needed. Fast forward 10 days and no results yet. I am beside myself. I've never had a panic attack before but I've had 3 in 2 days now. I've spoken to the secretary who is lovely and offered to chase. On Friday she said that the report had been sent back saying there was a 'query' with the images. I have no idea what that means. I do know that if they do find anything it'll be off to see neurosurgery apparently. Anyway, I think I was just hoping to see if there were any MRI techs here who might understand what a 'query' might be please? Thanks all.

Not an MRI tech or any other sort of HCP, but wishing you well. It would definitely worry me, although I hope you're calmed down from panic attack mode and will soon get some solid answers.
