There When It Counts<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Emergency radiology is a radiology sub-specialty dedicated to swiftly and accurately diagnosing acute medical conditions and injuries in emergency room patients. By promptly providing crucial diagnostic information, our team of emergency radiologists enhance patient care, contribute to timely interventions, and work closely with Emergency Medicine and Acute Care (Trauma) Surgery to provide interpretations for complex trauma, surgical emergencies, and urgent medical conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our team of radiologists are doctors with training and expertise in diagnostic imaging performed <\/span>in the emergency setting. In addition to having subspecialty training in abdominal radiology or neuroradiology, each of our physicians is highly skilled in the interpretation of radiography (x-ray), fluoroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the diagnosis of emergent conditions. Our emergency radiologists contribute to the delivery of high-quality patient care by providing thorough and timely interpretations of diagnostic images. Our reports help the emergency medicine team make accurate diagnoses and start appropriate treatments. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/som-cell>\n
