With advances in medical imaging technology, it is now possible to visualize deeper into the human body and with a much greater degree of detail. Because of these advances in technology, it has become even more important to have a physician radiologist who has the additional knowledge, training, and expertise to interpret your scan. SRC is the largest radiology group in the region, offering specialization that allows us the ability to match every scan with an expert physician radiologist. We believe that the more experience and training a radiologist has in a particular area of radiology, the higher the likelihood of a complete and accurate patient diagnosis—which leads to the most appropriate treatment and best outcome possible.
