Patient Benefits
It is important to have screenings and other examinations completed to assist the medical staff in determining the best route for your treatment and care. The goal of a screening exam is to discover a disease at an early stage to prevent further damage and provide successful treatment.
In preparation for your exam, please notify the staff of any of the following conditions prior to your exam: pacemaker, pregnancy, claustrophobia, history of kidney problems, skin tattoos, neurostimulators (TENS-unit), implanted drug infusion device (i.e., insulin pump), exposure of metal fragments to your eye, artificial heart valves, aneurysm clips, cochlear implants, metallic implants and prosthesis, vascular stent or stent graft, history as a metal worker, shrapnel or bullet wounds, dorsal column stimulators, allergy to iodine or gadolinium, history of diabetes and other conditions you believe to be relevant. Please leave your valuables at home, including jewelry, to prevent it from being lost, for they have to be removed prior to entering the scan room.
Meeting your radiologist can provide you with a sense of understanding and peace about your treatment and care. Your radiologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries through the use of medical imaging techniques. Because radiation is involved, the proper knowledge and training is required to ensure your safety and protection.
