The radiologist will be expected to read from a list of radiological studies originating from the emergency department and inpatient units during the day. If there are studies that the radiologist does not feel proficient in interpreting, they have the option to refer them to MRG, our Teleradiology group.

For the radiologist in Building 4, the primary need is for expertise in mammography and breast biopsies. If the individual is also capable of reading PET scans, it would be greatly appreciated, along with the ability to interpret other studies (CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, etc.).
