Get Critical Findings Straight from NationalRad's Client Portal!

Do you know you can be notified of critical findings through our client web portal?

Our radiologists mark positive and unexpected findings using our critical results management software. All critical findings are flagged and reported back to the client via our web portal. In addition, personal preferences can be set to notify of critical results via email as well.

Please note that regardless of how you set your client web portal and email preferences, we will still fax reports with critical findings and call to confirm receipt of those faxed reports.

For more information on how to access critical findings, please contact our office via email at INFO@NATIONALRAD.COM or by phone at 877.734.6674.

NationalRad at RSNA 2013

Each year, a number of NationalRad's radiologists get involved in the spirit of education and learning at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Scientific Meeting and Annual Assembly, and this year is no different.

Several of NationalRad's radiologists, including MICHAEL B. ZLATKIN, MD, FRCPC, TIMOTHY G. SANDERS, MD and WILLIAM B. MORRISON, MD, will be lecturing throughout the meeting on such topics as sports injuries, imaging of the hip, imaging of the shoulder, imaging of the foot and ankle, tumor and orthopaedic oncology.
