Plan the testing process

Clarify each step in advance, from the procedure name to discussing the results.

  1. Confirm your examination

    Check the referral, the area to be scanned and preparation requirements with the unit.

  2. Share safety information

    Before the procedure, tell the team about possible pregnancy, allergies, implants or devices.

  3. Follow up on your report

    Find out when results will be ready and how to access images; discuss the report with your doctor.

Check before your test

No single preparation rule applies to every test.

Test preparation guide
  • Bring the referral and relevant previous images.
  • Bring your implant or device card, if you have one.
  • Follow only the instructions for your own examination concerning fasting, drinking water or preparation for contrast imaging.

Your questions

This information does not replace your individual examination or treatment plan.

Are MRI and CT the same?

No. They are different methods; the examination is chosen according to the clinical question.

Must I fast for every scan?

No. Preparation depends on the examination; ask the unit where you booked for instructions.

Can I view images in the patient portal?

Confirm current access on the portal screen or with the hospital. Access to a viewer that is not connected is not promised.
