Choosing Wisely
“The Choosing Wisely lists were created by national medical specialty societies and represent specific, evidence-based recommendations clinicians and patients should discuss. Each list provides information on when tests and procedures may be appropriate, as well as the methodology used in its creation.“ – ChoosingWisely.org
Image Gently
“The (Image Gently Campaign and the Image Gently Alliance) goal is to change practice by raising awareness of the opportunities to lower radiation dose in the imaging of children.“ – ImageGently.org
Mammography Saves Lives
“Annual mammograms can detect cancer early — when it is most treatable. In fact, mammograms show changes in the breast up to two years before a patient or physician can feel them. Mammograms can also prevent the need for extensive treatment for advanced cancers and improve chances of breast conservation. Current guidelines from the American College of Radiology and the Society for Breast Imaging recommend that women receive annual mammograms starting at age 40 — even if they have no symptoms or family history of breast cancer.“ – MammographySavesLives.org
Appropriateness Criteria Patient-Friendly Summaries
“The Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR), in collaboration with the ACR, has launched Patient Summaries as a new publication category, representing an important, new initiative to have patients (laypersons) summarize AC recommendations for patients.“ – JACR.org

Imaging exams will typically result in two bills. You will receive one from the imaging center or facility for the technical component, or the actual scan itself. You will also receive another one from Advanced Radiology for the professional interpretation of the exam by a Radiologist, or the reading fee.
You should contact your insurance company to determine what your insurance covers. Please keep in mind that while some exams require preauthorization or pre‐notification, that is not a guarantee your exam will be paid by your insurance. Any non‐covered charges are your responsibility.
