X-ray / radiology services
Available to students only
Our Radiology Department can conduct most types of x-ray examinations onsite, with results quickly available to the provider and patient. A NYS-licensed Radiologic Technologist (RT) will perform your exam, and the results will be reviewed by a radiologist and by your clinician to help confirm or rule out a diagnosis.
We perform diagnostic tests ordered by Cornell Health providers, and also by outside providers. If you need special x-ray procedures that we cannot conduct onsite, we can provide appropriate referrals to local radiology providers.
Cost: The cost for x-rays will be billed to your insurance, and for students studying on the Ithaca/Geneva campuses, there is no additional out-of-pocket cost. Visit our Cost for Service page and our Insurance & Billing page for more information.
X-ray results: A copy of your x-ray image(s) and the radiologist’s report will be placed in your health record. To receive your image(s) or have them shared with another health care provider, please send us a secure message by logging in to myCornellHealth and selecting Messages > New Message > Request Image(s) from Radiology. You may also call us at 607-255-6207.
