Comments
I agree to inform the owner of these notes and agree to the following (please check all to agree to each term)*

Food should be withheld for 12-15 hours prior to the procedure for optimal image quality and in the case that sedation/anesthesia is requiredFor ultrasonographic procedures, the area of interest will be shaved to optimize image quality and maximize the diagnostic potential of the testOwners will not be given the results of the imaging procedures performed except under certain, critical circumstances.The owners will be asked to contact your office for the imaging results and to make plans for further actions. This is to keep you in control of your case and to simplify communications. If you would like a member of the radiology team to go over the results please call the imaging department to set up the appropriate consultation.Biopsies, needle aspirates, and other interventional procedures are not scheduled as outpatient procedures and cannot be performed as an add-on to an outpatient exam except in critical cases where the case is transferred to a staff doctor for case management. Non-emergent procedures can be scheduled through the imaging department as day-admits.
