I don't know anything about hemangioma's but in my experience with these medical things , rarely is everything included. Only when it is the direct target, in my case anyway.
For instance i just got my EMG study of my legs. I went to see my surgeon and read it after i left his office. Well he did mention the biggies, like nerve damage in my left ankle, and the source of my current back pain which is damage to L5 nerve root . Basically what you had titled your thread.
When reading the report, i find out i have permanent damage to several nerves in my right leg causing muscle weakness. The L5 damage is why my toes and right foot are going numb. But there were lots of interesting things left out. Same with my recent sleep study, i will pick up the report on Monday but the tech doing the study told me more already than the doctor mentioned. He just thinks that the CPAP machine will fix things so didn't talk much about atrial fibrillation occuring which is scaring me!!!
Sorry this was too long. just don't want you to feel you are getting bad service or something, but they should certainly explain what the heck they are and what they are doing.

At least you are making some progress though
