Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy Diagnostic Centre (NABL & NABH Accredited), an advanced center for radiology and diagnostic imaging, is providing a USG Duplicate Report. The USG Duplicate Report is a copy of a previously issued ultrasound examination report. It may be required if lost or damaged, to provide medical context when follow-up treatment is necessary, or for their medical history to obtain a referral to a hospital. The repeat report would include findings from the ultrasound report, patient information, and a note that the report is a duplicate, if patient information can be corroborated and there is a copy of the initial ultrasound report.

About USG Duplicate Report

USG Duplicate Report: A duplicate report for an ultrasound report that has already been signed by a diagnostic imaging exam/process. A technology that uses sound waves to create a picture of the body's internal organs, tissues, and other structures to aid physicians in determining various health issues. Briefly, patients are entitled to get a second copy of their previous abdominal, pelvic, obstetric, thyroid, breast, and other scans. The report can be used to maintain a patient's medical record and can be shared with a patient's current physician to review the results of earlier medical treatment.

What is a USG Duplicate Report?

It does not use radiation and uses high-frequency sound waves to create images. A USG Duplicate Report is an exact duplicate of a report made from an ultrasound at an earlier period in time. It may contain a report about the examination, findings recorded, and the original sign of findings (radiologist impression), depending on the records. The duplicate report reproduces the original report if the records are available and verified, and a duplicate report will be provided. It's not new ultrasound imaging or a new interpretation of the ultrasound.

Common Reasons for Requesting a USG Duplicate Report

• Original Report Misplaced: When the previously issued ultrasound report has been lost or cannot be located.
• Medical Consultation: When a treating doctor requires a copy of previous ultrasound findings for clinical assessment.
• Follow-Up Appointments: When earlier imaging documentation is needed during subsequent consultations.
• Hospital or Specialist Referral: When previous ultrasound findings are requested by another healthcare provider.
• Insurance and Administrative Requirements: When a copy of the report is required for documentation or claim processing.
• Personal Medical Records: When patients wish to maintain complete copies of their diagnostic reports.
• Damaged or Illegible Report: When the original document is damaged, or its contents are difficult to read.
• Comparison With Previous Findings: When a doctor needs the original report to review alongside newer investigations.
