Imaging Services

Radiology studies are often among the first steps in your health journey. You deserve timely, accurate testing that keeps your care moving forward. We are international imaging experts offering convenient access and precise interpretations for all the imaging services you need.

Imaging services: Why choose us?

BJC HealthCare works with Washington University physicians, BJC Medical Group, and providers across the region to deliver extraordinary care. Our team performs more than 1.4 million imaging studies per year. As a high-volume program, we have the experience and expertise to correctly diagnose rare and difficult-to-detect conditions.

Highlights of our program include:

  • Trusted experts: All of our radiologists maintain board certification, meaning they passed rigorous exams demonstrating their knowledge. Many completed advanced training through fellowships. Patients across the region turn to our team because we consistently deliver high-quality radiology services — even for complex issues.

  • Patient-first philosophy: It’s natural to have questions. We explain how testing can help and what to expect so you can feel confident about your care. 

  • Focus on safety: We take extra steps to protect you against unnecessary radiation exposure. These include research-based practices that enable us to capture images quickly and efficiently. Our reputation for accuracy means retakes are rarely necessary.

  • Timely services: Our radiology services fit into your busy schedule, so you get the care you need, right when you need it. We offer flexible hours, including weekend appointments at some locations. Our team often accommodates same-day requests when medically necessary. And we provide results to your referring physician within one to two business days.
