  • Medicare Card
  • Payment
  • List of current medications
  • Recent previous imaging done elsewhere
  • Support person (if needed)

After Your Appointment

Our network of radiologists provide you and your Doctor with access to a wide range of specialist expertise to report on your images.

Pricing
