Radiology Care

What to Expect

Plains Radiology Services provides teleradiology interpretation for hospitals and clinics across the Midwest. If your healthcare provider has referred you for imaging at a facility that partners with PRS, here's what you can expect.

Your imaging study — whether it's an X-ray, CT scan, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine exam, or mammogram — will be performed by the technologists at your local facility. The images are then transmitted to our team of board-certified radiologists for expert interpretation.

Our radiologists generate a detailed report and deliver it promptly to your ordering physician. Turnaround times are a priority for PRS — your doctor will receive the results quickly so they can advise you on next steps.
