SUBSPECIALIZED IMAGING INTERPRETATION W hi le dia g nostic ima g ing is la rgely affected by technology, quality imaging eva luations are ultimately dependent on the interpretative capabilities of a practice's providers. That is why fellow- ship-trained radiolog y subspecialists execute the vast majority of diagnostic evaluations at CR A Medical Imaging. " We provide subspecialty interpre- tation in ever y major area of medica l i ma g i n g , i nclud i n g cross-sec t iona l imaging, neuroradiology, musculoskeletal radiolog y, abdomina l imaging, breast imaging, oncologic imaging, and vascular and interventional radiology," Dr. Chacko says. "That is one area where we are quite different from the majority of private practices, particularly within the Central New York region. We offer referring clini- cians an academic perspective within a private practice setting." Additionally, this expansive, subspe- cialized team of radiologists allows CRA Medical Imaging to provide high quality, diagnostic imaging results within a rela- tively short amount of time. While average timelines vary by procedure, Dr. Chacko estimates the majority of reports have a turnaround time within as little as one day. This, in turn, helps CR A Medical Imaging supply referring providers with faster results. "Our primary goal is to provide qual- ity imaging interpretation in a timely fashion," Dr. Chacko says. "We really pride ourselves on effective communication with referring physicians."
