If you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant, please let us know before your imaging study, as some types of imaging may not be recommended during pregnancy.

Your imaging results will be sent directly to the healthcare provider who ordered the study, and they will discuss the findings with you. If you need to know your results urgently, please let our staff know when you arrive, and we will do our best to expedite the process.
