One-Call Scheduling
To schedule an appointment, call (704) 660-4920. After an appointment is made, physician orders for exams may be faxed to One-Call scheduling at (704) 660-8900. We require a written physician's order for all procedures other than screening mammograms.
Online Image Retrieval (PACS)
The imaging department provides physician access to images as well as exam results 24 hours a day by the use of PACS (picture archival containment system). This system allows your physician to access your exams from their office as well as any computer by using a secure access code. One simple phone call from the physician and your information will be available without having to make a trip to get films or a CD.
