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

Please allow a few business days for the report to reach your doctor.

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. Lotfi-Seysan or your referring doctor will determine which test is best for your specific medical question.
