If you did not pre-register with the partner hospital, you will need to arrive early to pre-register. If you are having a surgical procedure and did not have lab results sent to the hospital ahead of time, you will need to arrive two hours early on the same day as your procedure to have labs drawn.
Arriving early also gives you time to meet with the technologist to go over your health history and ask any questions you may have prior to your exam. In the case of some CT exams, you may be asked to drink barium contrast prior to your exam which generally takes 90 minutes. Some exams require more preparation and/or paperwork than others. Please see the section on exam descriptions for more detailed information about preparing for a specific exam.
