I had my imaging but have not gotten results yet. How can I see my results?
Your results are sent to the health care provider who ordered them. They are typically shared within one week. Please contact your provider to review the results and discuss next steps. Some results may also be available in your Health Gateway. Learn about accessing your health records.
-
Why is my appointment scheduled at a different facility than the one my provider requested?
We may book your appointment at a different nearby facility to help you receive your medical imaging test sooner. We are happy to reschedule you at a location of your choice without losing your place on the waitlist, however other facilities may have longer wait times.

Why can’t the imaging technologists tell me what they see?
Imaging technologists are responsible for completing exams to the highest quality possible. They share the results with a radiologist who will review these images to provide a detailed report to your health care provider.

My symptoms have changed. What should I do?
If your symptoms have changed, please see your health care provider again. They may send in an updated request for imaging.
