Find out about our UK back-up reporting service

DaTSCAN images are visually read and are generally easy to interpret. Occasionally, you may find difficulty in interpreting an image.   
If you are in any doubt with image interpretation, we can provide a support service.

  • GE Healthcare offers a DaTSCAN Back-Up Reporting Service. The service is offered for DaTSCAN images where you have difficulty with interpretation. The image is reviewed by an experienced independent Nuclear Physician who provides a second opinion on the DaTSCAN image. Please note, there is a charge for this service.

     

    To find out more about obtaining a back-up report, please email backup.reportUKI@ge.com
