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

Dr. Elliot provides expert interpretation of these physician-ordered studies.
- Can I speak to Dr. Elliot directly about my images?
- Typically, the Radiologist's detailed report is sent to your referring physician, who is best positioned to discuss the results with you in the context of your overall health and other test findings. While direct consultation with the interpreting Radiologist is uncommon for routine diagnostic imaging, for Interventional Radiology procedures, Dr. Elliot (if performing the procedure) would discuss it with you beforehand.
- What does a Radiologist actually do? Do they take the pictures?
- A Radiologist (like Dr. Elliot) 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.
