Imaging
Much more than just X-Rays and Ultrasounds.
Imaging is vital to modern healthcare, offering critical insights for diagnosis, treatment planning and interventional procedures. Discoveries and technologies are constant. Ever-more-sensitive machines, complex tools and specialized processes give healthcare professionals incredible new methods to enhance patient outcomes.
The design of these spaces involves good communication and involvement from everyone – doctors, nurses, technicians, administrative leadership, engineers, and equipment manufacturers. We know that each imaging space has to meet the precise requirements of the equipment it’s created for and needs to function well for staff and patient traffic flow, operational efficiency and patient safety and comfort.
We put ourselves at the center of that mix of stakeholders, managing a collaborative process that brings all their voices to the table and results in solutions that not only meet current healthcare standards but are also adaptable to tomorrow's advancements.
We've Designed More Than
RDG was instrumental in planning our healthcare facility.
RDG Knows Imaging
We’ve planned and designed spaces for over 130 imaging units, including X-ray, mammogram and MRI machines, CT, PET CT, Nuclear Medicine and interventional imaging equipment.
Our Experience Includes:
37 imaging units for Nebraska Medicine / University of Nebraska Medical Center since 2010
28 imaging units for the University of Iowa Health Care since 2022
13 cardiac catheterization labs since 2020
19 CTs, 5 PET CTs, 5 Nuclear Medicine units, 19 MRIs
RDG's Approach to Imaging
Each project requires attention to details that are specific to imaging. Some of the most common considerations for imaging projects include:
Flow of patients to minimize travel distances
Enhancing patient privacy and reducing patient stress and anxiety
Operational and staff work efficiencies
Safety and shielding protocols for patients and staff
Regulatory requirements and approvals
Building in flexibility for future changes
Structural modifications required to accommodate the size and weight of equipment
High degree of infrastructure demands
Minimizing disruption of care during construction
