After most procedures at DIS, you will be free to leave. Certain procedures however, may require you to remain at our facility to be monitored prior to you going home. Additionally, some procedures may require you to have someone to drive you home as well as being available to assist you once you are home. Our staff will advise you on the post procedure care for your exam when they schedule your appointment.

The technologist will transfer the images from your exam to one of our physicians, a radiologist who specializes in analyzing images of the specific area of the body you had examined. The radiologist will then prepare a diagnostic report to share with the doctor that sent you to us. Your doctor will consider this information in context of your overall care, and talk with you about results. Give your doctor’s office a call if you have questions on next steps or follow-up appointments.
Desoto Imaging Specialists retains exams electronically for a set length of time that is in accordance with state laws, in most cases for a minimum of five years. We may send your original exam on a CD (or film) with a report directly to your physician, who may discuss the results with you. Please contact your referring doctor if you need your films or report. Your physician should be able to provide you copies of your films upon request. In any legal matters, your attorney may obtain copies of your medical records directly from us with your written authorization.
Give your doctor’s office a call if you have questions on follow-up appointments.
