To ensure a fast turnaround and a sound base for reporting, 11 radiologists rotate through the branch with sub-specialisation in areas such as cardiac imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, breast imaging and prostate imaging. While not in the branch, these radiologists can assist with reporting of complex cases owing to access to images through the centralized PACS (picture archiving and communications system) infrastructure. In addition to radiologists, Medical Imaging also permanently employs 7 sonographers and 35 radiographers that work at the branch on a rotational basis.
