FRG's board certified radiologists are available 24/7/365 to providereadings in musculoskeletal radiology, neuroradiology, mammography, cardiacCT, interventional radiology, pediatric radiology, brain perfusion, vascularultrasound, OB/GYN ultrasound and general radiology. With this broad range ofcapabilities, FRG is ideally positioned to provide subspecialty radiologicalservices to smaller hospitals and outpatient centers that can't afford to keepsubspecialists on staff. The addition of Katyal is a testament to their desireto build up their subspecialty offerings.
Dr. Katyal also expressed excitement over his new position: "Untilrecently, most community hospitals could not offer patients the same level ofsubspecialty radiology experience that is typically found at large academiccenters. With their unique business model that utilizes both localradiologists in the hospital and centralized subspecialty interpretations viateleradiology, FRG is able to provide faster, more efficient radiologyinterpretations by very experienced, fellowship-trained radiologists. I lookforward to helping develop this high level of specialized imaging to hospitalsthroughout the country."
CEO of FRG, Dr. Brandon Chan, echoed Armfield's sentiments about Katyal'sexperience and reputation, and went on to add, "Katyal's main role will beclinical supervision of on-site doctors. As Senior Vice President of ClinicalOperations, he will be a superb leader of our reading facility in Pittsburgh.This furthers FRG's goal to be a global leader in teleradiology."
