Tests and procedures at Tays
A physician's referral is always needed for imaging scans and procedures at Tays.
The patient will receive the instructions for the scans either from the referring physician or the instructions will be sent home separately. The time and place of the scan are assigned according to the patient's place of residence and the scan in question and depending on where the scan can be done as soon as possible.
It is important to agree with the physician on the most suitable times and ask how to change the imaging scan appointment if necessary.
Imaging scans are performed at the Tays Central Hospital, Tays Hatanpää, Tays Valkeakoski and Tays Sastamala Hospitals and Orivesi health centre. To some imaging studies the patient can come from home, but some require that the patient arrives at the hospital for an appointment.
We operate around the clock, and we also provide versatile imaging studies for emergency patients.
