Access My Patient’s Results

All results are read by a board-certified radiologist who specializes in the anatomy imaged. The report is typically available within two to five working days.

Community Physicians

Community physicians are sent patient reports by fax within 3-5 days after completion. To receive a report sooner by fax, please call the Radiology Imaging Library at (415) 353-1640.

Community physicians may access results by same-day messenger or overnight delivery by request.  To request a hard copy report and CD of images, please call the Radiology Imaging Library at (415) 353-1640, 7:00 a.m.–9:30 p.m., seven days a week.

UCSF Physicians

In person

We encourage all UCSF referring physicians to visit our reading room to view images and consult with a radiologist. Please contact the Reading Room Practice Coordinators at (415) 502-4319 or email [email protected].

Online

Images may be viewed online from your office if you have access to Apex or WebPACS (https://webpacs.ucsf.edu/). Instructions for using WebPACS are available at: https://webpacs.ucsf.edu/e/docs/

If you are a UCSF provider, you can login to the WebPACS system using your Medical Center Active Directory credentials. If you encounter problems logging, please page PACS support group at (415) 443-3544 or email: [email protected].

Radiology Consultation Service

Our Radiology Consultation Service provides official reading for exams performed at facilities outside UCSF. To take advantage of this service, you must complete a requisition form that is signed by the provider and submit the form with your CD or X-Ray films to the Radiology Imaging Library.

The following information must be included on the requisition form.

  • Patient name
  • Medical record number
  • Date of exam requested for second reading
  • Type of exam requested for second reading
  • Signature of the referring physician
  • Your telephone number

If you need assistance with this process, please call the Radiology Imaging Library at (415) 353-1640, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., seven days a week.
