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

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

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. Ezzat 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. Ezzat specializes in these image-guided procedures. She interprets diagnostic images that may lead to referral for such procedures.

How will I get the results of my imaging exam?

After your imaging exam is completed, Dr. Ezzat (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.

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.
