The staff taking care of you could be one of our students or a technologist with over twenty five (25) years of diagnostic imaging experience.
Our digital imaging environment is maintained by two (2) Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)specialists who ensure the secure capture and storage of all diagnostic images associated with the over 135,00 exams completed annually.
