Radiology/Imaging

In November 2009 Matagorda Regional Medical Center (MRMC) became affiliated with the Baylor School of Medicine’s Radiology Department. The Professional Interpretations of Diagnostic Imaging procedures performed at MRMC will be performed by medical staff members of the Baylor Radiology department. Procedures included will be routine X-Ray, CT, MRI and Nuclear Medicine, Mammography & Ultrasound exams.

This new service gives the physicians of MRMC the ability to utilize all of the Baylor Radiology specialists to review any of the above procedures. Baylor has on staff Radiologists specializing in Neurology, Oncology, Orthopedics, etc. With the use of MRMC Digital Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) the Baylor medical group will have the capability of interpreting radiology exams 24 hours per day 7 days per week. This is especially important for patients in the Emergency Department so a quick turnaround for these procedures will be achieved. An example of this would be a patient that has been admitted with possible Stroke symptoms. With a timely Radiologist’s interpretation important treatment can be started as soon as possible.
