Internal processing

Once we have the images, they are read by our radiologists within 24 hours. You can indicate a preferred radiologist, however, this can sometimes delay the interpretation of your films.

We fax final, signed reports as soon as they are proofread. We no longer mail an additional report, unless you request it. (CDs containing digital images are returned only if they are third-party images or if you request it. Otherwise they are carefully disposed of using HIPAA-compliant procedures.)

If we find something serious on your films, or if you request it, the radiologist will call you at your office.
