How does Hastings Imaging Center get a report to my healthcare provider?
Hastings Imaging Center uses Powerscribe transcription software with voice recognition ability. When the radiologist interprets your exam and dictates into a microphone the computer automatically types the report! The radiologist then quickly checks the report for accuracy and signs it. The computer then faxes the report to your healthcare provider. Information within minutes!
Do radiology exams use much radiation?
No. Hastings Imaging Center follows the regulations put forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Health and Human Services of Nebraska. We strictly follow the ALARA principle, which stands for ‘As Low As Reasonably Achievable.’ This means that we use the lowest possible radiation dose to still achieve the highest possible quality exam. We are particularly careful with children and breast imaging. We have specific Pediatric Low Dose protocols. Our Digital Mammograms offer the lowest dose possible.
Why is Hastings Imaging Center so affordable?
When you have an imaging exam at Hastings Imaging Center, you will only receive one bill. We have combined the technical bill and the radiologist’s bill into one and passed that savings on to you.
