Patient Care

The Department of Radiology performs more than 240,000 studies annually at the hospital's radiology facility and at its satellite locations. The procedures are appropriate for all aspects of adult and perinatal care.

Referring physicians may call the consulting radiologist any time during regular business hours to discuss the needs of a particular patient or class of patients. Every effort is made to schedule related procedures closely in time and to produce an integrated report covering all examinations to date. Examination reports are available by telephone immediately for physicians who call the department. The printed reports are mailed within 24 hours for most studies.
