Do you accept payment plans?
Generally we do not, but exceptions can be accommodated in cases of
financial hardship. Payment is accepted by cash, check or credit card.
Who will perform my exam?
A registred technologist who has had extensive training in radiological
procedures and equipment will perform your exam.
When will I get my results back?
Clarksville Imaging Center uses the new technology of Voice Recognition
for all reports on exams. Most patients' results will be sent to their
physician within 24 hours of completion of the study. Your physician
will notify you of your results at your next visit with them.
What if my doctor needs the films from my exam?
Clarksville Imaging Center is a filmless facility. We will however,
burn a CD for your physician at his request. We would need 24-hour notice
in order to prepare your CD before your next doctor’s appointment.
My child is going to be having an exam. Will I
be able to stay with my child during the procedure?
If your child is unable to complete the imaging exam alone, you may
sit in the scan room with him/her after an appropriate safety screening
process has taken place.
If I am unable to complete my exam may someone
stay with me during my procedure?
A family member or friend may sit with you in the scan room if needed,
after an appropriate safety screening process has taken place.
What is a screening?
Health screenings are a quick way to detect diseases, such as heart
disease and cancer. Early detection and treatment may slow disease progression,
improve the overall outcome, and even increase chances for a cure. In
addition, when disease is detected at an early stage, treatment may
be less costly and less invasive. Generating pictures of the inside
of your body and its tissue and organ function will give you and your
physician valuable insight into your health today, which can help you
decide how to maintain your health in the future. Please visit our screenings
page.
Why will my insurance not pay for screenings?
Most insurance companies do not recognize preventive screenings at this
time. You are welcome to contact your insurance company and discuss
this with them. We will be happy to help you in any way possible.
What does an MRI show
that a CT Scan doesn't?
MRI is more sensitive to subtle changes in soft tissues, particulartly
the brain and spinal cord. It is the primary imaging method for evaluation
of joints, especially the knee, ankle, shoulder and wrist.
Can you see bones on Ultrasound?
No. You can only see soft tissue organs on ultrasound. Sound waves can
not go through bones or gas. Gas in the stomach and intestinal track
can cause shadowing and sometimes hide the organs you are trying to
demonstrate.
