For every visit
Four things to
bring with you.
01
Your referral
A paper or electronic referral from your clinician, unless you were told it was sent to us.
02
Photo ID
So we can match you safely to your records and previous imaging.
03
Medication list
Especially for scans that may use contrast.
04
Previous imaging
Or tell us where it was done — comparison helps the radiologist.
