During this crisis, only urgent studies will be done. To qualify, a study must be needed within a 30 day time frame. Of course emergency studies will be done. The lung scan protocol has been changed to do perfusion studies only. All Covid positive patients will be evaluated to determine if imaging is necessary. If so, those patients will be done at the end of the workday under strict PPE guidelines. Rooms must be sanitized and cannot be used for 2 hours afterward.
