Frequently Asked Questions
May I Send Files Immediately?
Once you've called ARS to set up your account, you may send films immediately. When
you call, indicate that you would like to send films immediately; we will give you
instructions.
May I Send My Files By U.S. Mail?
Because of problems associated with sending parcels through the U.S. mail - including
lost packages and an inability to track package movement - use of the U.S. mail
is strongly discouraged. Our experience with delivery services such as UPS has demonstrated
their superior ability to handle "irreplaceable" cargo such as patient x-rays.
Do You Require That Films Be Current?
Ideally, in order to receive the best treatment, films sent for interpretation should
be relatively recent. Normally, we ask that films be no older than three (3) months
old. We will not read films over 6 months.
What Does This Service Cost
Me?
There is no cost to the doctor.
What Is The Turn-Around
Time On Films?
Time will vary based upon your location. You can expect a 3-7 day turn-around time.
What Can I Expect A Report
To Contain?

impressions. Samples of previous interpretations may be found ...
