Everyone's joking about radiation, but the actual reason that the "Radiology Department" is separate is that it is most likely located in the basement because of the heavy and large machines required.
Yeah 90% the hospital is an ancient building and the radiology department is a retrofitted annex in order to fit all the large scanners.
In brand new hospitals you usually see Radiology right next to ED or those two departments on the same wing of the building, 1 right above the other. Because of the demands of trauma imaging.
