What Happens After Your Imaging Appointment?

When your imaging appointment is complete, you may wonder what happens next. Whether you've had an Open MRI, ultrasound, or digital X-ray at Pennsauken Diagnostic Center, understanding the process after your exam can help you feel more informed and confident about your care.

At Pennsauken Diagnostic Center, located at 6027 S.

We proudly serve patients throughout Camden County, NJ, Cherry Hill, NJ, Marlton, NJ, and Philadelphia, PA with compassionate care and advanced diagnostic imaging services.

After Your Exam Is Complete

For many imaging exams, there is little to no downtime required after your appointment. Patients who undergo an Open MRI can typically return to their normal daily activities once their exam is complete. Open MRI exams are designed to provide a more comfortable imaging experience while delivering the detailed images physicians need for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Ultrasound examinations are also non-invasive and do not involve radiation. After your ultrasound, you can generally resume your regular activities immediately. Our team is available to answer any questions you may have before or after your appointment.

For digital X-rays, images are captured electronically and are available almost immediately, helping streamline the diagnostic process. Digital imaging also makes it easier to securely share images with healthcare providers when needed.

How Are My Images Reviewed?

Once your imaging study is completed, your images are carefully reviewed and interpreted by experienced, board-certified radiologists. These specialists analyze the images and prepare a detailed report that is sent to your referring physician. For ultrasound studies, results are prepared by highly trained ultrasound technologists and interpreted by knowledgeable board-certified radiologists.

This interpretation process is a critical step because it provides your healthcare provider with the information needed to make informed decisions regarding diagnosis, treatment planning, or ongoing care.

When Will My Results Be Available?

Many patients are eager to receive answers as quickly as possible. At Pennsauken Diagnostic Center, referring physicians and attorneys generally receive ultrasound results within 24 to 48 hours. Our team works diligently to help ensure reports are delivered promptly so your provider can review the findings and discuss next steps with you.

The exact timing may vary depending on the type of exam and your physician's process for reviewing results with patients.

Discussing Results with Your Physician

After your physician receives your imaging report, they will review the findings and determine whether additional testing, treatment, or follow-up care is necessary. Because your healthcare provider understands your complete medical history and current symptoms, they are best equipped to explain what the results mean for your specific situation.

Imaging is often an important piece of the diagnostic puzzle, helping physicians evaluate symptoms, monitor treatment progress, and make informed healthcare decisions.
