Standard Imaging Protocols

This document includes typical imaging protocols for diagnostic imaging. vRad teleradiologists
expect to see imaging resulting from the use of these or substantially similar protocols in
situations where there is no contraindication or facility requirement that requires a different
protocol.

Neither vRad nor vRad radiologists are responsible for establishing or approving protocols in
use at the place of service. The imaging facility is responsible for assessing each patient’s needs,
applying appropriate standards of care, and following the facility’s protocols.

The decision to administer intravenous contrast to a patient is a complex and local one, made
onsite by clinical teams and onsite physicians using best practices, even in the absence of a local
radiology group. The presence of a thorough contrast protocol is necessary as is clinical
expertise and judgment for individual patients. For this reason, vRad does not provide blanket
contrast protocols.
