1. How can I get a copy of my medical records?
Your physician will receive a copy of your exam report and will discuss the results with you. Your physician can provide you with a copy of your exam report. Radia will retain original exam films and reports. In any legal matters, your attorney may obtain copies of your medical records directly from Radia with your written authorization.

2. How can I send previous films and reports
to a new doctor?
With your written authorization, film copies, including mammograms, will
be sent to your new doctor. Your new doctor’s office can do this for you
with your written authorization. They will call and ask us to pull your
films and send them via mail or by courier to their office. You may also
pick up your films. You will need to fill out a release form at that time.
You may have your mammogram permanently transferred to another facility
or to your own custody. In either case, you will need to sign a release
authorization.

3. Why is subspecialty expertise important?
Many Radia physicians subspecialize in one or two areas of imaging (MR,
CT, ultrasound, neuroradiology, interventional, musculoskeletal radiology,
etc.) and/or vascular surgery.
We are all familiar with the benefits of specialties in medicine, such
as obstetrics, pediatrics, cardiology and others. This is just as true
in diagnostic imaging and vascular surgery. The physician
with a subspecialty in a particular area offers the
patient heightened insight and expertise. Subspecialty training gives the physician a greater breadth and depth
of knowledge which benefits the patient. Radiologists receive their subspecialty
training through a one or two year fellowship program following their
diagnostic radiology residency. Vascular Surgeons receive their subspeciality
training similarly after a surgery residency. More than 90 percent of
Radia physicians have subspecialties in one or more of the following areas:
Body Imaging
Computed Tomography (CT)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Mammography
Musculoskeletal Radiology
Nuclear Medicine
Neuroradiology
Pediatric Imaging
Ultrasound
Vascular & Interventional Radiology
