Should a patient be relieved about the medical term ''grossly unremarkable''? See detail.

Asked by flo (13313points) July 17th, 2021

Let’s say it’s about a CT scan result of the bladder, etc. What exactly does it mean? It doesn’t say it’s normal (i.e healthy which is a relief, which is essential for a patient). So what should the patient take from just reading ’‘grossly unremarkable ’’ (until the doctor explains it)? It is not like an assessment of an artwork or something unessential.
