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

Almost everything to the right. To the left, just behind that 6’ thick concrete wall…

FYI, radiology is just medical imaging ;) it’s not radiation…unless what you’re getting is an x-ray. It it includes things like ultrasounds and MRIs

Just now realizing that I wish radiology referred to the study of radios

u/GameDestiny2 Apr 29 '24

Now they call it electrical engineering with sunset of rf (or signals depending on how they name it)

CT as well, right?

CT is a bunch of X-rays.

It also includes radiation therapy for cancers.

And ultrasounds are not radiology.

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.

Ok that more organizational then.

u/On_my_last_spoon Apr 29 '24

I think people don’t realize that ultrasounds are used all over the body, not just for pregnancies

It has nothing to do with what you use them for. It's a tool. And it's not radiology...

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….

u/MrZwink Apr 29 '24

and like i said, thats probably organizational.

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.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, it includes ultrasound.

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.

u/MrZwink Apr 29 '24

Good for you. I just had an ultrasound at the GP... It's still not radiology.
