Southside Hospital has a comprehensive radiology department where outpatients and inpatients can have a variety of diagnostic studies. Results are quickly interpreted by a team of skilled and experienced radiologists. Southside uses digital, filmless technology, which creates images of the body and its organs that are models of clarity and detail. Because the images can be stored and sent electronically, radiologists can review studies around the clock, so doctors and patients can get test results quickly. Filmless technology also is used in Southside's emergency department, making it possible to cut valuable minutes from the time it takes to make a diagnosis and continue treatment.
