Film Library
The Center keeps x-rays that were performed at our facility for five years.

Checking out films
Please call ahead of time so your films will be ready for you to pick up and take to your referral appointment. When the referral physician is finished reviewing the films, please return the films to the Center.

MRI films
If the MRI facility gives you a copy of your films, please bring them to your next appointment so that the physician can review them. At the end of your appointment, please take your films with you and keep them in a cool, dry place. You may need to have them in the future for a referral to a surgeon.

Imaging Reports
Please call ahead and ask for Medical Records, ext. 253. They will copy the report from your chart and have it ready for you to pick up. You will need to fill out a release of information request before you can receive your report.

Results
The diagnostic staff does not give out test results to patients. Your physician will inform you of your testing results at your next scheduled visit.
