Breast Ultrasound in ER-Urgent Care Settings

Emergency Breast Ultrasound
Please contact an MIA radiologist on-call for all ER breast ultrasounds.
This is for two reasons:
1. Breast ultrasound should be supervised by an MQSA certified breast radiologist as additional images may be required.
2. Most ER breast ultrasounds do not filter to a reading list that can be automatically seen by the radiologist on call. Communication and case assignment in Clario to the radiologist will ensure that the case is read as efficiently as possible.
The MIA Radiologists below DO NOT read breast ultrasound. If they are listed as your primary contact on call, please communicate with another on-call radiologist.
