Same-Day & Walk-In

Need imaging today? We can help.

When your care can't wait, Precise Imaging offers same-day MRI, CT, and ultrasound appointments and walk-in X-ray at centers across California. Here's how to get in fast.

How It Works

From call to scan, fast.

  1. Step 1

    Call or book online

    Tell us what you need and when. Call our team or request an appointment online — we'll check today's openings across nearby centers and find the soonest slot for your exam.

  2. Step 2

    Have your order ready

    Most imaging needs a doctor's order. Bring it with you, or have your provider send it over. For walk-in X-ray at participating sites, we can often get you in without an appointment.

  3. Step 3

    Come to the center

    Arrive with your ID, insurance card, and order. Same-day patients check in like any other appointment; walk-ins are seen as scheduling allows, so call ahead when you can to cut your wait.

  4. Step 4

    Get your results fast

    A sub-specialty radiologist reads your study and signs the report — usually within 24 hours, and faster for urgent cases. Results go to your provider and your Patient Portal.

What's Available

Which scans you can get quickly.

Walk-in X-ray

Digital X-ray is available on a walk-in basis at most of our centers — no appointment needed. Bring your order and we'll fit you in around scheduled exams.

Same-day MRI & CT

Same-day MRI and CT slots open up daily across our California network. Availability depends on the center, the body part, and whether your exam needs contrast.

Same-day ultrasound

Many ultrasound studies can be booked the same day. Call our team and we'll check which nearby center can see you soonest.

Same-day and walk-in availability varies by center, body part, and whether your exam needs contrast. The fastest way to confirm is to call our team — we'll find the soonest opening near you.

Get In Fast

A few tips to skip the wait.

  • Call ahead, even for walk-in X-ray — a quick heads-up lets us minimize your wait.
  • Have your doctor's order ready, or ask your provider to send it before you arrive.
  • Be flexible on location — a center a few minutes farther may have an earlier opening.
  • Tell us if your need is urgent so we can prioritize the soonest available slot.

Same-Day Questions

Common questions, answered.

Can I really get imaging the same day?

Often, yes. Same-day MRI, CT, and ultrasound slots open daily across our network, and digital X-ray is walk-in at most centers. The fastest way to lock in a same-day exam is to call our team so we can check today's openings near you.

Do I need an appointment for a walk-in X-ray?

No appointment is required for walk-in X-ray at participating centers — just bring your doctor's order and a photo ID. Calling ahead still helps us minimize your wait around scheduled exams.

Do I still need a doctor's order?

Most imaging studies require a referral or order from your provider. If you don't have one yet, call us — our team can help you understand what's needed and coordinate with your doctor's office.

Which locations offer same-day or walk-in imaging?

Availability varies by center and by the type of exam. Use our locations directory to find centers near you, then call to confirm same-day or walk-in availability for your specific study.

How fast will I get my results?

A sub-specialty radiologist reads your study and signs the final report, typically within 24 hours — and sooner for urgent cases. Your results go to your referring provider and are available to you in the Patient Portal.
