We are a very important part of the Emergency Department team
Our patients range from ill to critically injured traumas

8. Diagnostic & General Radiography
Students practicing positioning
skills on each other in our lab

9. Fluoroscopy
Often we do a specialized form of live view X-ray called Fluoroscopy
Frequently this calls for the administration of contrast to better visualize structures
The radiologist operates the equipment, we prepare materials and assist the doctor
Often we take X-ray images when the doctor is finished
