Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What preparations are required before undergoing imaging tests?
Preparation instructions may vary depending on the specific imaging test. In general, patients may be asked to fast for a certain period before certain tests, avoid wearing metal objects, inform the technologist of any medications or allergies, and follow any additional instructions provided by their healthcare provider.
How long does it take to receive the results of imaging tests?
The turnaround time for receiving imaging test results depends on the type of test performed and the complexity of the study. In many cases, results are available within a few hours to a day after the test is completed. Urgent or critical findings may be communicated to the referring physician immediately.
Are imaging tests safe, especially in terms of radiation exposure?
Our imaging equipment is designed to minimize radiation exposure while maximizing image quality. For tests such as X-rays and CT scans, our protocols adhere to strict safety guidelines to ensure the lowest possible radiation dose without compromising diagnostic accuracy. Pregnant women and individuals with concerns about radiation exposure should discuss their options with their healthcare provider.
Can I request a specific imaging test, or will my healthcare provider determine which test is necessary?
The type of imaging test recommended will depend on your specific medical condition, symptoms, and diagnostic needs. Your healthcare provider will determine the most appropriate imaging modality based on clinical indications, and our radiologists will work closely with your provider to ensure that the chosen test provides the necessary diagnostic information.
Can I bring a companion with me during imaging tests?
In most cases, patients are allowed to have a companion accompany them during imaging tests for emotional support. However, for certain tests such as CT scans or MRIs, companions may be asked to wait in a designated waiting area to minimize interference with the imaging process. Please inquire about companion policies when scheduling your appointment.
Are imaging tests covered by insurance, and how can I verify coverage?
Many imaging tests are covered by health insurance plans, but coverage may vary depending on your insurance provider and specific policy. It’s recommended to contact your insurance company prior to scheduling an imaging test to verify coverage, obtain pre-authorization if necessary, and clarify any out-of-pocket costs or deductible requirements. Our billing department can also assist you with insurance-related inquiries.
What types of radiology services are available at Graphic Era Hospital?
We offer a comprehensive range of diagnostic and interventional imaging services, including MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, digital X-rays, fluoroscopy, mammography, bone densitometry (DEXA), and interventional radiology procedures.
How should I prepare for my radiology test?
Preparation depends on the type of imaging. For example, fasting may be required for abdominal ultrasounds or CT scans, while MRI exams may need metal-free clothing. Our team will provide specific pre-test instructions to ensure optimal imaging results.
