Lab Tests & Radiology

Tests & X-rays at the 6th Medical Group - MacDill Air Force Base consists of Diagnostic Imaging (Radiology) and Laboratory. 

Laboratory

Who We Serve 

Both laboratories serve active duty service members and all patients empaneled to the MacDill Clinic or Sabal Park Clinic. 

Mission 

Lab tests are ordered by providers only. Currently both MacDill and Sabal Park laboratories only accept lab requests ordered by 6th MDG providers. 

Laboratory reports will be available to view and print in the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal once they have been reviewed by a provider.   

Patients with a lab order for a one-, two-, or three-hour oral glucose tolerance test should come to the lab or call to receive instructions and schedule the test. This test is only performed at the MacDill laboratory. 

Some lab tests require the patient to fast. Fasting means having nothing to eat or drink (except water) for eight to 12 hours before blood collection. The provider's orders should specify whether fasting is required. Unless the provider gives other instructions, patients should continue taking their medications, as prescribed, before having blood drawn.

Diagnostic Imaging (Radiology)

We offer a full range of imaging services to include routine X-ray, bone density, ultrasound, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography. Routine X-rays do not require an appointment and are performed during normal duty hours. Specialty imaging procedures may require patient preparation or an appointment. To schedule an appointment, call or visit the Diagnostic Imaging flight. There are additional examinations that can be performed on a walk-in basis if no patient preparation is required. Please note that these examinations must be coordinated with the Diagnostic Imaging staff and reviewed by our radiologist prior to approval. Diagnostic Imaging honors requests (scripts) within our imaging capabilities from civilian providers.
