Your Radiology Procedure - What to Expect


Are you scheduled for a radiology or imaging procedure at Daviess Community Hospital? Procedure Information sheets, available to you in a print-friendly form, answer common questions our patients ask us about their procedures. We have included specific information about many radiology and imaging procedures, including how to prepare, what to expect, and the care you may require after your procedure is over.
