Our Image Service Center can provide images and reports for imaging exams at Mass General.

The Image Service Center sends digital images by CD or DVD to your referring provider. You can use these instructions to ask for a copy of your images and the radiologist's report. If you only want a copy of the radiologist's report, you can contact Mass General Medical Records at 617-726-2361.

All requests need signed release forms: the Authorization for Release of Medical Images and the Authorization for Release of Protected or Privileged Health Information (PHI).
