 | | When it comes to sheer workload and tight deadlines, hospital radiology departments are under more pressure than most, as the Audit Commission has acknowledged in its review of waiting times experienced by patients requiring ultrasound and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans. |
 | | With Homerton's radiology department carrying out around 100,000 examinations a year, time is always a scarce commodity. |
 | | A modern hospital based in East London, with Beacon Hospital status, the Homerton has 450 beds and employs around 1,600 staff to provide a wide range of emergency medical, surgical, maternity, paediatric and specialist services to over 275,000 patients each year. |
