Your doctor has ordered special tests to help understand your symptoms. Ultrasound, X-ray, CT, and MRIs are diagnostic exams that provide your radiologist with specialized images.

The radiologist will then read the images and provide your doctor with the essential information to guide your most appropriate care and treatment.  The radiologist is readily available on site.

Most results are available to your doctor on the same day as the exam. Your doctor will discuss the results of the exam with you.
