Maybe, but there is already that risk of some influence from other doctors, patients, nurses and general circumstances.

When an X-Ray is ordered, there is usually a suspected diagnosis in the order like "suspect sprain, pls exclude fracture", "suspect lung cancer". Patients will complain about symptoms or give the impression of a certain illness. Things like that already place a bias on the evaluation a radiologist does, but they are trained to look past that and be objective. No idea how often they succeed.
