St. Vincent’s Radiology Department is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. This includes 3 diagnostic CT scanners, a dedicated 4-slice CT unit for the radiation oncology service, a 1.5 Tesla MRI unit, routine diagnostic rooms, fluoroscopic rooms with cine capabilities, an all-digital modern angiographic suite, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine units with PET/CT and SPECT/CT capabilities. There is digital mammography, which includes tomosynthesis, all digital stereotactic breast biopsy systems, and weekly MRI-guided breast biopsies.
Our radiology information system (RIS) maintains all orders, results, and statistics for the entire department and this information system is interfaced with the hospital information system for improved patient care. Filmless images from the PACS systems can be viewed not only in the Radiology Department but also in other related clinical and educational areas in the hospital.
