Meet the radiologists reading your scan
Every study performed at Lucent Medical Imaging in Glendale is interpreted by a board-certified radiologist, with subspecialty-trained readers for neurological, musculoskeletal, breast and cardiac imaging.
The scanner captures the image. The radiologist finds the answer.
Two radiologists can look at the same study and see different things. Subspecialty training is the reason. A radiologist who has completed a breast-imaging fellowship and reads breast MRI every week recognizes patterns that a general reader may not weigh the same way, and the same is true of a neuroradiologist reading a brain study, or a musculoskeletal radiologist reading a complex joint.
That is why we match the reader to the study rather than to the queue. It also means being honest about scope: where a case falls outside our readers' subspecialty coverage, we say so and help you get it read by someone whose training fits. Advanced equipment matters, see our imaging technology, but the interpretation is what turns an image into a decision.
The physicians behind your report.
Board-certified & fellowship-trained
Every study is read by a board-certified radiologist, with fellowship training in the subspecialty your scan belongs to.
Subspecialty-matched reads
Brain studies go to neuroradiology, joints to musculoskeletal imaging, breast studies to breast imaging, the reader fits the question.
Accountable for every report
Reports are signed by the reading radiologist, delivered in 24-48 hours, and critical findings are called through immediately.
Matching the reader to the question.
Neuroradiology
Brain, spine and head-and-neck studies.
See the examMusculoskeletal
Joints, sports injuries and soft-tissue imaging.
See the examBreast imaging
Mammography, breast ultrasound and breast MRI.
See the examCardiac imaging
Cardiac MRI and cardiac CT interpretation.
See the examBody / abdominal imaging

See the examConsistency, review and a physician you can reach.
Structured reporting
Findings are described in a consistent format so results are easy to compare across studies and over time, and easier for your physician to act on.
Peer review and QA
Interpretations are sampled for peer review as part of an ongoing quality assurance program, and protocols are reviewed against the clinical question.
Direct radiologist access
Referring physicians can speak with the reading radiologist about a case, and critical findings are communicated by phone immediately.
A specialist read, and a physician on the phone.
Your patients are read by subspecialty radiologists, routine reports are returned in 24-48 hours, and critical findings are communicated by phone immediately. If you want to discuss a case or agree a protocol before the scan, our reading radiologists are available to speak with you directly.
