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

Dr. Garry provides expert interpretation of these physician-ordered studies.
- What does a Radiologist actually do? Do they take the pictures?
- A Radiologist (like Dr. Garry) 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. While skilled technologists operate the imaging equipment to take the pictures, the Radiologist is the expert physician who analyzes these images to provide a diagnosis. Some Radiologists (Interventional Radiologists) also perform image-guided minimally invasive procedures.
- How will I get the results of my imaging exam?
- After your imaging exam is completed, Dr. Garry (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.
