What imaging studies (MRI, CT scans, ultrasounds, x-rays) will we NOT order?
We do not order CARDIAC or HEART MRI's. These need to be directed by a cardiologist. If you are having chest pain or suspect heart issues, please contact your local physician, ER, or a cardiologist.MRI's of the abdomen are under most circumstances NOT the best test to evaluate abdominal conditions (exceptions being the liver/bile system and pancreas).
