Radiology

The Radiology/Imaging Department of SMITH Northview Hospital provides a comprehensive, state of the art imaging facility. This department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our mission is to improve the health of those we serve through a caring and competent staff, while maintaining the continued viability of the facility. In order to meet our mission, we strive to offer advanced imaging services to all patients.

Each of the above modalities currently transfers digital DICOM images to the AVREO (PACS) system. The PACS (picture archive communication system) allows physicians to receive reports in an expedient manner. Additionally, those physicians associated with SMITH Northview Hospital may be able to view patient's images in their office(s). For the patients this means you and your physician(s) are able to review your images and discuss treatment options related to your diagnosis. Often patients request a copy of their film in order to carry to another facility or to a different doctor. Here at SNH we are delighted to accommodate every patient's request by placing the images on a CD(s) to be used at the patient's discretion.

Each study is reviewed and interpreted by radiologists, who are on site or on call 24 hours a day for consultation and reporting.
