The SHS Radiology department performs general diagnostic x-rays ordered by a Student Health Service Clinician to determine bone or tissue injury or pathology. All x-rays are developed for immediate evaluation by an SHS Clinician, and are fully interpreted by an off-site radiologist. Electrocardiograms are also performed by radiology staff.
The department is staffed by licensed radiographers and is inspected annually by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency’s Department of Nuclear Safety. This certification ensures that quality, safe radiographic procedures are performed by the department.
Copies of original x-rays may be obtained at a cost of $5 per film. This charge may be paid at the time of service, or billed to the appropriate account. Copies become property of the patient upon payment of the copy fee, and do not need to be returned. A minimum 30-minute notice is requested when picking up copies, and a photo ID is required.
