Cleveland Clinic Expert Analysis
Patient reports are read by specialty-trained radiologists from the Cleveland Clinic. Instead of a general radiologist reading patient reports, these radiologists see an overwhelming amount of reports in their area of training, which results in an overall higher level of professional expertise.
MRI Studies
MRI studies are performed on persons of all ages with few restrictions. Because MRI involves the use of a strong magnet, persons with a pacemaker, neurostimulator, or aneurysm clip should not have this test. Persons who have performed any type of metal working such as welding or grinding may require x-rays to be sure they have no metal in their eyes prior to the MRI. If you have any questions please be sure to ask the technologist before your test.
Convenient Scheduling
We realize a patient's diagnosis and treatment is often determined by imaging test results. That is why we instituted same day scheduling for all emergency patients. To schedule your MRI, CT Scan or Ultrasound appointment, please call our dedicated scheduling line at 717-747-8304. We will do our best to schedule your test as soon as possible.
48-Hour Turnaround Reports are typically available within 48 hours. If unexpected findings are identified, we will call your physician immediately. In addition, all emergency reports will be forwarded immediately. If you are being seen by one of our orthopaedic specialists, the reports can be seen on our computer system. Our system also enables us to burn a CD of the images if you are being seen by a physician outside of OSS. If you receive a referral from a physician for an MRI study, a CT Scan, or Ultrasound, please consider utilizing the Imaging Center at OSS. Even if you are not being seen by one of our physicians, we can schedule your test and provide the physician with a report of the findings.
