Emergency doctors have access to advanced diagnostics including point of care ultrasound, digital radiography, 64-slice helical CT, 1.5T MRI and fluoroscopy. Along with a full onsite laboratory, 6 oxygen cages, dedicated GI and respiratory isolation suites, all working alongside an experienced specialty team that supports case collaboration.
