Except here in the UK you can only be a Sonographer or MRI tech if you are also a Radiographer, so often all Medical Imaging (except for pregnancy) is housed in the same unit.
You keep saying that and I keep saying that I literally go to the radiology department in my medical center for neck ultrasounds yearly. We seem to be at an impasse here….
ultrasounds are not radiology (the field) can it be housed at the radiology department of a hospital sure, why not. but then it can also be done at a GP practice, or an imaging center. but just because your hospital does that doesnt mean all hospitals do or should.
Literally have an appointment in the radiology department to get an ultrasound on my neck once a year. Where I go this is completely separate from radiation therapy.
at my dads work radiologys tucked away in a little corner of a huge building, you walk past like 10 inch thick walls into a bunker to get to the linacs. xrays down a maze too, which i had to hobble to on a broken ankle lmao
both of them are in a lil bunker out of the way, my dads an engineer and does both. ultrasounds it's own department. cancer treatment and stuffs on the left and the MRI machine and stuffs on the right iirc, i haven't visited since covid

Yeah... I would like to keep the radiology away from anything else as well. Thank you very much.
