Send by text
The outpatient gets the exact prep video for the modality and protocol that was scheduled.
Radiology workflow assurance
Stop empty imaging slots.
Every outpatient gets a short video by text made for their exact scan. The patient arrives knowing what to do. You only pay for patients who confirm and show up.
Pay only for patients who show up
Why slots go empty
Late cancellations, no-shows, and patients who arrive unprepared all cost the department money, and some cost much more than others.
A missed X-ray costs a short time slot and a phone call to rebook.
A missed PET scan can waste the tracer dose made just for that patient. The expensive scanner sits empty, the technologist is left idle, and it's almost impossible to fill the slot on such short notice.
How ImReadyToScan responds
Every patient gets a short 1 to 3 minute video made for the exact exam they booked.
Patient watches
A real person explains the exam so the patient arrives knowing what to do.
Patient confirms
At the end of the video, the patient taps "I'm ready." Once a week, your team uploads the show-up report from Epic, Cerner, Meditech, or any scheduling system that can export one. You only pay for patients who tapped "I'm ready" and came in.
Fully branded for your facility (small added fee).
How we’re different from Patient Silhouette
I'm Ready To Scan and Patient Silhouette are both owned by the same company: ImReadyToScan, LLC.
I'm Ready To Scan helps patients at home before their visit. We text them a short prep video for their exact scan. You only pay when the patient confirms and shows up.
Patient Silhouette helps patients already in a hospital room. It plays a calm video on the room TV that explains what the exam is like. Nurses still handle prep.
Same company. Two different products.
Where the breakdown begins
This is not an Epic problem.
Epic can book the appointment. It cannot make a rushed scheduler remember every prep rule, or make a worried patient remember a phone script.
Schedulers handle high call volume. Critical details get skipped. Patients then face medical language they do not understand. Some cancel because they are nervous. Some do not come. Some arrive and cannot be scanned.
Move the instructions into the patient’s hands.
In nuclear medicine, that pattern is familiar. A patient calls to cancel because the scan sounds frightening. A tech who explains the exam, the wait, and the prep often stops that cancel. The video gives that explanation the same way every time, before the patient decides to drop the appointment. It does not replace the tech. It handles the explanation the phone call keeps repeating.
A video will not stop a cancel caused by insurance or a changed order. It can reach the patient who is about to drop the exam because they do not understand it.

true no-shows
Most missed appointments aren't patients who simply never show up. They're late cancels, reschedules, and patients who arrive unprepared. That's the gap a prep video can close.

What the patient gets
One precise video designed for their exact exam.
Sent by text, about 1 to 3 minutes. These are the exact videos patients get for each exam listed below. When a video ends, the window closes on its own. You can also tap Back to site or the X.
Fasting, caffeine lockout, tracer, wait
Covers fasting, the 24-hour caffeine lockout, tracer delivery, and the leave-and-return wait for that scan.
Metal, noise, fan, squeeze-ball
Covers metal and clothing rules, scanner noise, the fan, and the squeeze-ball safety button.
Open doughnut, breath-holds, contrast
Covers the open doughnut layout, breath-holds, and the warm flush from contrast.
What to wear, what to expect
Covers clothing, metal, and what a bone-density DEXA exam feels like.
Food, timing, what to wear
Covers food and medicine timing, what to wear, and what happens during a heart ultrasound.
Drink prep, timing, the scan
Covers oral contrast timing, what to drink, and how the CT scan works.
What the facility gets
The full outpatient list is covered.
Schedulers stay on booking
Schedulers do not have to deliver complex protocols on the call. Every patient gets the video for their exact exam and modality. When the video carries the prep, the scheduling call can stay on booking the exam.
Shorter calls, fewer prep mistakes
Calls get shorter, and prep mistakes from script fatigue drop. Shorter calls may let the same staff book more patients per day, and may shorten the wait to get that call.
More patients who show up.
The missed scan rate will not fall to zero. No one will expect that. Fewer fear-based cancels, fewer unprepared arrivals, and less prep work at the scheduling desk mean more booked scans get done.

What about patients who would have come anyway?
You only pay when someone taps “I’m ready” and shows up. So take nuclear medicine / PET at $2.50 per confirmed show-up:
- 1,000 confirmed show-ups = $2,500 for the month
- One wasted PET slot (tracer + empty scanner + idle tech) often costs more than that whole bill
- If the videos save even a few fear-cancels or unprepared arrivals, the month pays for itself — and you still only paid for people who came
The free 30-day pilot measures that against your prior month. No obligation after.
Free 30-day pilot
Request a 30-day pilot at no cost, with a cap.
We track patients who confirm and show up, same-day cancels, no-shows, and patients who came but could not be scanned, split by modality and by who tapped the button at the end of the video. We compare them with the month before the pilot. The pilot is free, and there is no obligation to buy. The free pilot is open only to a small group of founding sites.

Privacy and your data
We sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) before any patient is texted.
We don't need access to your EMR. Once a week, your team uploads a show-up report, and you choose what goes in it.
Patients get a text link to their exam video. There's no app to download and no patient login.
