What is diagnostic radiology?
Radiography, also known as x-ray, is an imaging tool that produces pictures of the bones and other parts of the body. Diagnostic radiography uses ionizing radiation. During an x-ray, the ionizing radiation or x-ray passes through bone and tissues and an image is recorded on a film or a picture archiving system.
X-rays are the most commonly used imaging method and are a safe and effective diagnostic tool.
Hours of Operation
The radiology department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
