Imaging & Radiology Center
Seeing What Others Can’t
Grady has the most experienced imaging team in Atlanta. Using the latest imaging technology – including magnetic resonance imagers (MRIs), cutting edge positron emission tomography (PET/CT), and state-of-the-art computed tomography units – we work together to ensure the highest levels of patient care and highest quality images, which are needed for patient diagnosis and treatment.
Because Grady is Atlanta’s busiest Level 1 trauma center, our subspecialized radiologists, highly trained technologists, and staff routinely deal with more complex and serious conditions than most imaging technologists see in a lifetime. This experience means that our imaging team can recognize medical conditions while they are still emerging so that we can begin treatment as early as possible, producing the best outcomes.
Why Choose Us
No Atlanta hospital has more modern imaging equipment – or more of it – than Grady.
And we use it a lot. We perform 18,000 x-rays, 7,600 CT-scans, and 1200 MRIs a month. This means the team looking at your images is experienced since they review hundreds of radiological studies a week. That experience means they are trained to spot potential issues, which leads to quicker, more effective treatments.
Exams, Scans, and Procedures
Grady offers a broad range of radiology exams using the latest technology. The experience of our radiologists contributes to greater accuracy in reading and interpreting hundreds of thousands of medical images every year. We tailor exams to your individual medical conditions and needs.
A bone density scan, also called DEXA, uses an x-ray to measure the bone mineral content and density. A DEXA scan produces more detailed images than a standard x-ray and helps to identify fragile bones before they break. It measures the bone density of the spine, pelvis, lower arm, and thigh.

Grady breast imaging radiologists are leaders in the field. Studies show that specialist radiologists detect more cancers and more early-stage cancers and have lower recall rates than general radiologists, so all of our breast imaging radiologists specialize in breast imaging, and read only breast images. Our experts perform breast screening and diagnostic imaging services, including traditional mammography, 3-D mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, and breast biopsies.

Computed Tomography (CT) uses x-rays to produce pictures or images of tissue inside the body. The CT machine moves an x-ray tube around the patient to produce multiple detailed images at different angles. This provides greater detail of soft tissue like organs or blood vessels than a traditional X-ray. CT can also be used for a tissue or fluid biopsy.
Learn more about CT scans.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses high-powered magnets and radio waves to produce images of organs and structures inside the body. During an MRI, the patient lies on a table that is surrounded by magnets. Information collected by the MRI scanner is sent to a computer and translated into images.
Learn more about MRIs.
An ultrasound, also called a sonogram, uses sound waves to produce images of soft tissues inside the body. Sound waves move through the body and, based on the frequency, signals are translated into images on a computer. Ultrasound can also be used for a tissue or fluid biopsy.

An x-ray machine uses a small dose of radiation to produce images of structures inside the body. The x-rays pass through the area of the body being examined and are translated into images captured on the other side of the body.

Make an Appointment
Radiology appointments and most of our specialty clinics do require a referral. A referral is a request or order by your doctor to have an exam, test, or procedure performed at Grady.
If you don’t have a referral but need care, we can help. Call us at (404) 616-1000, and we will help set you up with an appointment in one of Grady’s Primary Care Centers, where a physician can partner with you and refer you to the appropriate specialty clinic.
Or, ask your provider to complete the Grady Referral Request Form and fax it to us at (404) 489-6103. We will contact you to schedule an appointment.
If you already have a referral, please call (404) 616-1000 to schedule your appointment or to check on the status of an existing referral.

Research
As one of the nation’s elite teaching hospitals, our imaging clinicians are involved in studies aimed at finding better, more effective ways to care for patients. Research conducted at Grady is helping to redefine the way doctors around the world treat a variety of conditions. This commitment to research means that Grady offers the best standard emergency care – and the best emerging care. The benefit to patients is clear: They have access to treatment options unavailable at most other institutions.
Our Doctors
Every hospital treats patients. At Grady, we strive to treat them better, more efficiently, and more effectively. The mission to care for all who need us attracts physicians from across the nation, and most are employed by the Emory and Morehouse schools of medicine. They are drawn here by the knowledge that we test the limits of medicine by innovating existing standards of care and exploring novel treatments.
