University Hospital is the tertiary referral center for the state of New Mexico and the surrounding area, and is also the state's only level-1 trauma center.
The 400,000 square foot Children's and Critical Care Pavilion is adjacent to University Hospital and contains adult and pediatric emergency rooms, a trauma center, birthing center (ante partum, labor & delivery, post partum, newborn nursery), neonatal ICU, pediatric acute care, pediatric ICU, pediatric surgery, adult critical care (medical / cardiac, surgical / burn / trauma, and neurosciences ICUs). Imaging support for the pavilion is comprised of onsite general radiography, MRI, CT, and ultrasound services, with an integrated PACS system transmitting radiologic exams to the main radiology department in University Hospital.
Our new 38,000 square foot Outpatient Surgery and Imaging Center, located on University Blvd, opened on May 8, 2003. Outpatient CT, MRI, ultrasound, and mammography services are staffed by onsite radiologists.
All the major subspecialties of radiology are encompassed by the department's numerous board-certified faculty.
Our staff of neuroscientists and biophysicists at the Center for Functional Brain Imaging conducts some of the most advanced neurological research in the world on magnetic source imaging.
