How do I schedule an appointment?
Option 1: Scheduling Online (Fastest & Easiest)
Most patients can schedule online in just a few clicks.
If you’ve been referred by a Weill Cornell Medicine provider, you may receive a message in Connect or an email from us prompting you to schedule your exam.
If your provider is not affiliated with Weill Cornell Medicine, you can still schedule online! Request an Appointment here and upload a copy of your prescription.
You can schedule anytime—day or night—using your computer or the Connect app on your smartphone.
Please note: Not all exams can currently be scheduled online. If that is the case, you will instead be prompted to call us to speak with one of our expert Patient Access Coordinators who will guide you through scheduling your exam.
Option 2: Call Us
If you prefer to speak with someone, our Patient Access Coordinators are here to help.

Is your facility handicap accessible?
All Weill Cornell Imaging at NewYork-Presbyterian locations are handicap accessible.
Can I fill out my forms before the visit?
Yes! You can complete your forms ahead of time through Weill Cornell Connect using eCheck-In.
You’ll be prompted to fill out only the forms needed for your specific exam, helping you save time and avoid delays when you arrive. Our staff will review everything with you at the time of your appointment to make sure we have all the information needed for a safe and seamless visit.
When will I receive my results?
When you come to Weill Cornell Imaging at NewYork-Presbyterian, we take detailed images of your body. After your visit, one of our expert radiologists—doctors who specialize in interpreting medical images—will carefully review your exam and create a written report within 24–48 hours.
Your results will then be shared with both you and the provider who referred you for the exam. In the vast majority of cases, your provider will communicate the results with you. However, if you have any questions or would like to speak with a radiologist directly, please let our team know during your visit.
You can also view your images, read your report, and share your exam with other doctors through Weill Cornell Connect. For additional instructions, please click here.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wearing the right clothing may eliminate the need for you to change into a gown prior to your exam.
Clothing Guidelines for MRI, CT, X-ray, DEXA, PET/CT, PET/MRI and Fluoroscopy Exams:
- Wear loungewear, pajamas, or other loose-fitting cotton or linen clothing without metal embellishment.
- Do not wear clothing or undergarments with metal fasteners, zippers, hooks, under wires or other metal components.
- Please leave items such as watches and jewelry at home.
- For MRI and PET/MRI exams only: Do not wear compression-wear or tight-fitting spandex. Many brands of fitness clothing have metals woven into their fabrics making them unsafe to wear during an MRI exam.
