Radiology and Imaging Assistance

Diagnostic imaging helps doctors examine structures inside the body and obtain additional information about injuries, symptoms, medical conditions, and treatment progress.

At New Padre Garcia Hospital, imaging assistance helps patients coordinate doctor-requested procedures with the Diagnostic Radiology department.

Patients may receive guidance regarding scheduling, required documents, preparation, previous imaging records, and where to proceed on the day of the examination.

The availability of X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, and other imaging procedures depends on the hospital’s current equipment, schedules, clinical capabilities, and physician requests.
