Diagnostic Radiology
Diagnostic imaging provides doctors with detailed views of structures inside the body, helping them assess symptoms, identify injuries, investigate possible medical conditions, and monitor a patient’s treatment or recovery.
At New Padre Garcia Hospital, our Diagnostic Radiology Department supports emergency, outpatient, inpatient, surgical, and follow-up care through physician-requested imaging examinations.
Our radiology team coordinates with attending doctors, nurses, emergency personnel, and other hospital departments to help ensure that each patient receives the imaging procedure appropriate to their condition and medical request.
Available services may include Digital X-Ray, CT Scan, Ultrasound, and other confirmed imaging procedures. Preparation requirements, schedules, and result-release times vary depending on the examination.
Patients are encouraged to contact the hospital before visiting to confirm the imaging service, physician-request requirements, preparation instructions, and availability.
