Radiology

Physicians with access to similar equipment send their patients to the University of Illinois Medical Center's Radiology Department. Why? They want the expertise of the people behind the equipment. Our radiologists have an international reputation.

New ways of picturing the human body require new ways of interpreting what we see. In the last few decades, the field of Radiology has progressed from x-rays to cutting-edge methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and interventional Neuroradiology. We are always updating to the most cutting edge technology so that you get the most accurate results.
