XRC Medical Imaging (XRCMI) has announced a new rapid results program offering feedback directly to patients regarding their imaging tests within 24 hours of their appointments. XRCMI Medical Director Vu Nguyen, M.D., noted that in many cases, patients will actually get their test results before they leave from their appointment. Tests in the rapid results program include diagnostic mammograms, general X-rays and bone density tests, as well as CT and ultrasound scans.
"We understand the anxiety and stress that often go along with waiting for test results," said Nguyen. "We reviewed our current testing procedures and found a way to get results back to patients and their doctors within hours for most tests. It's a challenging commitment, but one that's very important to the patients we serve and our referring physicians."
