Beginning this month, a group of
radiologists from Diagnostic
Imaging, Inc. (DII) will provide
comprehensive diagnostic and
therapeutic radiology services at
Saint Peter’s University Hospital.
Saint Peter’s selected DII, a
member of the vRad®
Radiology
Alliance, the premier integrated
national specialty network, because
of its long history of providing expert
services across the entire spectrum
of patient care and collaborating
with hospitals throughout central
and southern New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.

The new partnership allows Saint
Peter’s to offer an even broader
spectrum of radiological care to
adult and pediatric patients, such
as more advanced radiology services
for cancer patients. “The DII

from some of the most prestigious
radiology programs
in the country,” said
Paul McGinnis, M.D.,
new chair of the
Department of
Radiology at Saint
Peter’s. “Patients
will now have
access to new
advanced services
such as MRI-guided
breast biopsies for the detection of
breast cancer and radioembolization
treatment for inoperable liver cancer.”
Saint Peter’s will have access to the
expertise of over 400 vRad®
radiologists, an industry-leading
quality assurance program, as well
as the unparalleled operational
support of vRad®
Alliance, adds

board-certified radiologists will deliver
exceptional service for patients with
the support of an innovative technology
infrastructure,” he says.
