Frequently Asked Questions
What types of diagnostic tests are available at your CT Scan facility in Richardson?
A variety of examinations, including fundamental ones like a brain, chest, abdomen, pelvic, and spine scan, can be performed with our CT Scan Richardson. We also use specialized scans, such as virtual colonoscopies to detect colon cancer and cardiac CTs to perform a thorough assessment of the heart.
How quickly can I get my CT scan results?
We consistently work to return results with the highest level of speed as quickly as we can. In most of the scans, the preliminary results can be seen soon to three hours after the scanning. Nevertheless, it will take a much longer time to receive our radiologists’ report (at least 24-48 hours). In this regard, we have connected the PET Scanner to the Emergency Room in Richardson and designed the results to be promptly available for immediate treatment decisions.
Do I need a referral to have a CT or PET scan at your facility?
Referral is mostly needed to make online bookings for a CT or PET scan. This will ensure that only tests that are administered will be ordered and help us develop the imaging that is most useful to your health conditions. As our emergency room is open 24/7/365, under this scenario, an imaging test can be done right away along with your urgent care procedures, and you will not be directed to the hospital through a referral.
What makes Richardson's Emergency Room capable of handling heart emergencies?
As a result, our emergency room in Richardson is furnished with the latest cutting-edge diagnostic equipment, such as the CT Scan Richardson, which will prove to be crucial in providing prompt diagnosis for conditions like heart attacks. Our skilled team of emergency cardiologists treats patients together to ensure prompt and efficient heart care. They have received training in emergency cardiology.
How do I know whether I should go to the emergency room or schedule a CT scan for my condition?
An emergency room visit in Richardson is necessary right away if you believe that you are experiencing a serious or life-threatening condition or symptom, such as abrupt weakness or numbness on one side of the body, breathing difficulties, or sharp chest discomfort. The best course of action is to have a scheduled CT scan Richardson, a doctor, or another trained practitioner refer you, if the health concern or condition is not urgent or if it is for a series of tests as part of a standard medical assessment.
