Radiologists interpret results.

At CHRISTUS Hospital, each patient receives excellent radiological care because their examinations and procedures are managed, performed, and interpreted by the best-trained, qualified, and credentialed physicians - radiologists. These skilled specialists undergo at least a 5-year training program beyond medical school. Radiologists at our hospital in each city devote full time to imaging and radiology, working closely with primary care physicians, internists, cardiologists, oncologists and other specialists to care for patients.

Radiologists associated with Radiology Group, LLP, in Beaumont, and Southeast Texas Imaging, LLP, in Port Arthur provide diagnostic and therapeutic imaging medical services to CHRISTUS Hospital-St. Elizabeth and St. Mary.
