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

- A Radiologist (like Dr. Naim) is a medical doctor who has completed extensive specialty training in interpreting all types of medical images (X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, etc.) to diagnose diseases and injuries. They provide a written report of their findings to your doctor.

Some Radiologists (Interventional Radiologists) also perform image-guided minimally invasive procedures.
- Is there general preparation needed before an imaging appointment?
- Preparation varies significantly based on the type of imaging test. Some require fasting for several hours, others may need you to drink water for a full bladder, or avoid certain medications.
