Are imaging studies interpreted by Dr. Yoon covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

Medically necessary diagnostic imaging studies interpreted by a Radiologist like Dr. Yoon 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. Yoon?

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

I'm concerned about radiation exposure. Are X-rays and CT scans safe?

Patient safety is our top priority. Radiologists and technologists are trained to use the lowest radiation dose necessary to obtain high-quality diagnostic images (this is known as the ALARA principle - As Low As Reasonably Achievable). While X-rays and CT scans do use ionizing radiation, the amount for most diagnostic exams is carefully controlled and the benefit of an accurate diagnosis generally far outweighs the very small potential risk. If you have specific concerns, please discuss them with your referring doctor or the imaging staff before your exam.

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. Yoon see abnormalities that might otherwise be hidden. Not all scans require contrast; it's used when it can provide important additional diagnostic information.
