Schedule an Appointment

Columbia radiology provides imaging services at locations throughout Manhattan and Westchester. We welcome walk-in appointments for X-rays at some locations and offer same-day appointments for CT scans and ultrasound. Video visits are available for most interventional radiology consultations.

A prescription or written request from your referring provider is required for your diagnostic imaging exam.

After Scheduling Your Appointment

You can use the Connect Patient Portal to complete questionnaires before your visit and to view arrival and preparation instructions. After your appointment, you can read your results and view and share the exam images through the portal.


Insurance Authorization for Imaging Services

Some imaging exams require insurance preauthorization. After you schedule an appointment, our preauthorization team reviews your information and contacts your insurance carrier or referring physician. If authorization is not received by three business days before your exam, we contact you to reschedule your appointment.
