- Are imaging studies interpreted by Dr. Cloutier Lambert covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- Medically necessary diagnostic imaging studies interpreted by a Radiologist like Dr. Cloutier Lambert are typically covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC when prescribed by your referring physician and performed at an accredited medical facility. Some advanced or specialized interventional procedures may also be covered. It's always best to confirm specific coverage details with Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) or the imaging clinic/hospital.
- Do I need a referral from my doctor to have an imaging study interpreted by Dr. Cloutier Lambert?
- Yes, almost all diagnostic imaging tests (like X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasounds) and interventional radiology procedures require a formal request or requisition from your family doctor, specialist, or other authorized healthcare provider. Dr. Cloutier Lambert provides expert interpretation of these physician-ordered studies.
- What's the difference between an MRI and a CT scan?
- Both are advanced imaging tests, but they use different technologies. CT (Computed Tomography) scans use X-rays and a computer to create detailed cross-sectional images; they are excellent for bone, lungs, abdomen, and detecting acute bleeding. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create highly detailed images of soft tissues like the brain, spine, joints, and internal organs, without using ionizing radiation. Dr. Cloutier Lambert or your referring doctor will determine which test is best for your specific medical question.
- How will I get the results of my imaging exam?
- After your imaging exam is completed, Dr. Cloutier Lambert (or a colleague Radiologist) will carefully review the images and prepare a detailed report. This report is sent directly to the physician who ordered your test (your referring doctor). Your referring doctor will then discuss the results with you, typically at a follow-up appointment, and explain what they mean in the context of your overall health. Please allow a few business days for the report to reach your doctor.
- 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.
