Medical Imaging and Screening

Medical imaging and cancer screening are two "surveillance" strategies designed to ensure early diagnoses and optimize patient health. Imaging is a field of medicine in which doctors use a variety of techniques and processes to create renderings of the human body. Screening incorporates additional technologies and processes to identify individuals with a high probability of developing cancer or other illnesses. Together, medical imaging and screening are critical to the prevention, diagnosis, and healing of cancer.

This directory of medical imaging and screening centers is designed to help you locate the facility you need. Whether you are seeking a second medical opinion, or you just want to find an imaging or screening center close to home, we hope that this database makes your healing journey a little smoother.

Choosing medical imaging and screening: what to know

Imaging and screening centers provide mammograms, CT, MRI, PET and ultrasound scans, used both to screen for cancer and to diagnose and monitor it.

Your doctor will usually order the test and may have a preferred center. Ask for the images and report to be sent to your care team, and ask about cost before scheduling.

Questions to ask

  • Is the facility accredited for this test?
  • How soon will results reach my doctor?
  • Do they accept my insurance or Medicare, and what will I pay out of pocket?
