Patients who will be undergoing radiological tests or exams can access the Procedures section to obtain information about the test, as well as to learn about what to expect during the procedure. In addition to answering patients' questions about upcoming tests, the Procedures section also provides relevant information and statistics, as well as helpful recommendations. Additional procedures are currently under review to be added to the site. Patients can be directed to the Web site or be given print outs from this site to learn about the procedures that have been scheduled for them. In addition to reading procedure descriptions, eventually patients will also be able to 'see' pictures of the procedure rooms and equipment.
Radiologists can use the site in a similar way.
New Content to Be Added to Web Site Radiology Info is frequently updated and expanded to include the most current information available. A new section on procedures in radiation oncology is presently in the works. Images, both normal and abnormal, will also be included in each procedure description. A new section on radiation safety will also be added to the site. This Web site will make a great contribution toward this effort.
