Emergency Radiology
Our emergency radiologists are tightly integrated into the workflow of the hospitals and clinics we serve and are subspecialty trained for the skills needed in effective emergency medical imaging interpretation. Direct involvement helps diagnose trauma and acute illnesses and injuries and increases the level of quality, care, and treatment emergency departments are able to provide to their patients.
Common Conditions and Body Systems
Using a full range of imaging techniques, emergency radiologists can quickly assess and interpret all types of images. That high degree of expertise enables them to see, properly diagnose and initiate emergency treatment for sudden illnesses and injuries, including:
- Body trauma
- Heart and lung trauma and conditions
- Injuries and diseases of the central nervous system
- Injuries and diseases of the head and neck
- Trauma to the spine and upper and lower limbs
- Emergency obstetrics and gynecology
- Vascular and aortic malfunction.
Working Together with Other Physicians
Working together with emergency physicians, emergency radiologists help treat patients whenever an ER is open, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With radiologists who practice nothing but emergency radiology, emergency departments have a higher quality of radiologic interpretation and diagnosis. With a higher quality of care, hospitals potentially have fewer missed diagnoses, and emergency physicians have better assistance treating patients. Everyone wins, especially the patient.
