Referral Information

Chest Radiology is an integrated service that encompasses all modes of thoracic imaging. The chest service staff are responsible for all conventional chest radiography, all thoracic CT, thoracic MRI and interventional procedures, including lung biopsies and diagnostic pleural drainages.

The service is fully digital and integrated with thoracic surgery and pulmonary medicine.
