Delivering high-quality medical images
Our radiology care team at Ascension Sacred Heart Gulf Diagnostic Imaging is dedicated to making your experience as comfortable as possible. We explain what to expect and whether there are any dietary restrictions before coming in for your imaging test or procedure. Let our care team know if you or your child have specific needs or concerns, so we can make arrangements to deliver testing that is right for you.
What to expect
A doctor’s referral is needed for all types of screening and diagnostic imaging tests. If you’re scheduling an appointment, let us know if you had previous imaging studies relevant to the procedure that we are going to perform at a different imaging center. If so, please bring the CD report, or let us know so we can request the imaging report from the radiology group.
