Patient Exam Instructions

When and Where Should I Go?
You should arrive at Patient Registration at UT Medical Center at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled scan.

Directions to UT Medical Center’s Patient Registration

• Take the UT Medical Center exit off Alcoa Highway.
• Follow the entrance ramp, which will end at the medical center entrance.
• Follow the overhead sign for Hospital Patients, and turn on the third road on the right (leads to Circle Drive).
• To park, take an immediate right into the Visitor Parking Lot. Enter the hospital at the entrance marked Main Entrance on the front circle.
• To drop off a patient, follow the circular drive to the Main Entrance. Drop off the patient, and then park in the Visitor Parking Lot, which will now be on your left.
• Patient Registration is located in the Main Entrance lobby, across from the Information Desk.

After registering, you will be directed to the correct department. Please notify the receptionist of your arrival.

When Will I Receive the Test Results?
Images are reviewed by a doctor at the end of the day. When all images have been viewed, a report is prepared within 48 hours. Your physician may receive a faxed interim report immediately after the images have been viewed. Once your doctor has reviewed the report, your doctor will inform you of the test results.
