Do I need a referral from my doctor to have an imaging study interpreted by Dr. Scaranelo?

Dr. Scaranelo provides expert interpretation of these physician-ordered studies.

Can I speak to Dr. Scaranelo directly about my images?

Typically, the Radiologist's detailed report is sent to your referring physician, who is best positioned to discuss the results with you in the context of your overall health and other test findings. While direct consultation with the interpreting Radiologist is uncommon for routine diagnostic imaging, for Interventional Radiology procedures, Dr. Scaranelo (if performing the procedure) would discuss it with you beforehand.

How long will my imaging test take?

The duration depends on the type of scan. A simple X-ray might take only a few minutes. Ultrasounds can range from 15 to 45 minutes. CT scans are usually quick once you're positioned (actual scan time is often under a minute), but total appointment time can be longer. MRI scans are typically the longest, often 30 to 60 minutes or more per body part being imaged.
