The Emergency Department has its own X-ray suite within the department which operates 24 hours/day. After hours, the main radiology suites (50 yards away) supply X-ray support, including computerized tomography and ultrasound. PGY-II and PGY-III radiology residents are in-house 24 hours/day and “wet-read” many Emergency Department films.
