What services does Perception Imaging offer?

We specialize in high-quality diagnostic imaging services, including ultrasound, sonography, Doppler studies, and other non-invasive radiological procedures. We provide accurate reports to assist your physician in making informed decisions.

Do I need a referral or prescription to get an ultrasound done?

Yes, we require a referral or prescription from a licensed healthcare provider for all imaging procedures. This ensures that the appropriate test is conducted based on your specific medical need.

How long does the imaging procedure take?

Most ultrasound and sonography procedures take between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the type of scan. We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork.

When and how will I receive my results?

Typically, results are available within 24–48 hours after the scan. Your referring physician will receive the report directly. You may also request a copy of your report or images for your personal records.

Is ultrasound safe, and are there any side effects?

Ultrasound is a completely safe and non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create internal images of the body. It does not involve any radiation, making it especially safe for pregnant women and routine monitoring. There are no known side effects, and the procedure is generally painless and well-tolerated.

Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?

Yes, you are welcome to bring a friend or family member with you to your appointment. For certain procedures, they may need to wait in the reception area, but for many scans—especially prenatal ultrasounds—support persons are often allowed to accompany you into the scan room
