View X-rays, MRIs and CT scans online

OrthoVirginia is empowering patients to access x-rays, MRIs and CT scans taken by OrthoVirginia from within MyChart.

Your images will be neatly organized, available, and stored using Ambra in MyChart. You can view the image on-demand, anytime, anywhere. And you can share your images with other providers or family members with email or QR code access.

The only thing you need is a MyChart account. And we’ve made getting a MyChart account super easy, too.

This service is available for all OrthoVirginia x-rays, MRIs and CT scans taken since March 1, 2021. OrthoVirginia is the first practice in Virginia to offer this exciting technology.
