Choosing the right test

Selecting the appropriate test for your patient's care is a complex blend of your clinical findings, the technological capabilities of each modality and years of practical experience with those modalities on the part of our radiologists.

For that reason, we encourage our referring physicians to call and consult with a radiologist whenever there is a question on the most appropriate modality. There is always a radiologist on staff to assist you.

You can reach our staff by calling:

EPIC Imaging|East at 503-253-1105
EPIC Portland PET Center at 503-535-8341
