Additionally, our state-of-the-art equipment reduces the exam time and further minimizes radiation exposure. We aim to create a stress-free experience for you and your child.

It depends on the exam. Some exams can be as short as 45 seconds.
Unless otherwise directed, existing patients should arrive at least 15 minutes early, and new patients should arrive at least 20 minutes early. Please arrive on time so that your visit goes smoothly.
What do I need to bring to my appointment?

- A current insurance card
- A list of current medications
- An insurance referral form (if needed)
Please notify us as soon as possible if you are unable to keep your appointment.
What does “non-invasive” mean?
The body is not invaded or cut open. With diagnostic imaging, many medical conditions can be identified quickly and painlessly, often eliminating the need for expensive and risky exploratory surgery.
Will I need someone to drive me home after the exam?
Usually not. Our exams will not affect your ability to drive.
If you require sedation for the exam, please talk to your referring physician prior to your appointment. We do not provide sedation. Be sure to inform our staff of your needs when scheduling the exam. You must complete all paperwork and have a driver present prior to sedation or the exam cannot be completed.
When will my doctor get the results?
Typically 1-2 business days, but we suggest to expect a turnaround time of 2-3 business days. If quicker results are needed, your doctor will send us a STAT (urgent) order, and we will try our best to provide your results more quickly.
How can I access my results?
Upon request we can make a free CD containing the images of your exam. We can also create a useful and easy to set up online portal to view all your images and reports online. All you need to get started is an e-mail address. Please contact our office to request either a CD or online access.
If I have an emergency, what should I do?
In an emergency, you should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for immediate care.
