As you will have no hardcopy films to collect we will provide you with log in details so that you are able to view your images and report on any computer with Internet access. For security reasons you will be prompted to change your password when logging in for the first time.
It will take up to 24 hours for your results to be viewable online however your referring doctor will receive them much faster than this. These results will be available for approximately 3 years.

These parties will only access a patient’s personal information to the extent necessary to ensure the proper functioning of our data storage systems.
