I just got a message from my neurologist, which says "Your MRI showed no active lesions. This is good news," which it is.
Before that, I got an automated MRI report via MyChart, which says "no comparison available." This was surprising, because I told them the previous MRIs were at Mount Auburn, as well as annoying, because part of the point of regular MRIs is to look for changes.
So I called the Beth Israel Deaconess MS clinic and talked to the nurse. She looked at my record on their system and it has nothing at all about Mt. Auburn. She asked my permission to have Mt. Auburn send the records over, which I happily gave her, so she can talk to them, and get the records sent over. She said they might ask for written permission rather than her telling me that I'd given permission verbally. If so, she will get in touch with me, and I will fill out the appropriate forms and send them in; a single stamp is cheap.

These days they often send a PDF and you "sign" it and email it back. Or they have a request portal. I just had to request medical records from 6 different providers. None of the release forms were hard copy.
