At a symposium for medical management of radiation exposure, a teaching radiologist said, "You can see thyroid when performing a ultrasound examination of carotid artery for assessment of carotid artery stenosis due to carotid atherosclerosis. I have told the ultrasound technicians not to maintain any record or images of thyroid findings in cases of incidental findings of thyroid abnormalities such as nodules. I told them that they would be fully responsible for consequences if they maintain such records. Even if the findings might not be pathological, patients would worry and cause problems."
I have never heard of such an order: Do not record the findings.
This is how far they have come (in order to cover-up facts).

被曝医療シンポで、「首の動脈硬化の超音波検査の時、甲状腺も分かる。結節など所見があっても、検査技師には甲状腺の写真や記録を残すな。残したら後の全責任を取れといってある。病的でなくても患者が不安をもち問題にする。」放射線指導医の講演。「所見を書くな」は生まれて初めて聞く言葉だ。ここまで来た。
