Note that such elective screening may not be covered by insurance or Medicare and in some states, such as Texas, all radiologic procedures must be ordered by a licensed referring physician, podiatrist, or chiropractor. <em>RadiologyInfo.org</em> does not provide referrals; however, a state or local chapter of the American College of Radiology (ACR) may be able to assist you in finding an imaging facility—see <a class="externalURL" href=" https://www.acr.org/Membership/Chapters" title="Go to ACR.org" target="_blank"><em>ACR Chapter Websites</em></a>.

You might also try inquiring at some of the radiology organizations listed on our <em><a href="/en/links">Radiology Resources</a></em> page to see if they can help. </p> <p> <strong>I need information about costs or insurance coverage.</strong><br/> <p><strong>This website does not provide cost information.</strong> The costs for specific medical imaging tests, treatments and procedures may vary by geographic region.
