Overview.

Our medical imaging department supports every clinical pathway in the hospital, with MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, fluoroscopy and interventional radiology under one roof. Same-day reporting is the standard for most studies, with structured turnaround targets for urgent presentations.
