It should be but I'd actually strongly consider getting a new one made out by them.

Just a case of phoning them, letting them know that the issue hasn't cleared up so you'd like to be referred for the MRI please.

The new letter will also include the updated timeline of your issue so that'll help the radiologist when making out your report.
