Are imaging studies interpreted by Dr. Cheung covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

Medically necessary diagnostic imaging studies interpreted by a Radiologist like Dr. Cheung are typically covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB 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 Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) or the imaging clinic/hospital.

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

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. Cheung provides expert interpretation of these physician-ordered studies.

What is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional Radiology is a subspecialty of radiology where physicians use medical imaging (like X-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI) to guide minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis (e.g., biopsies) or treatment of a wide range of conditions in nearly every organ system. These procedures are often alternatives to open surgery. Dr. Cheung specializes in these image-guided procedures.

Why might I need an injection of 'contrast' or 'dye' for my scan?

Contrast material (often called 'dye', though it's usually clear) is a special substance that can be injected intravenously (or sometimes taken orally or rectally) to help certain organs, blood vessels, or tissues stand out more clearly on imaging exams like CT or MRI. It can help Dr. Cheung see abnormalities that might otherwise be hidden. Not all scans require contrast; it's used when it can provide important additional diagnostic information.

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. Cheung or your referring doctor will determine which test is best for your specific medical question.
