[Radiological service at Tygerberg Hospital]

The Tygerberg Hospital, of the Medical Faculty of the University of Stellenbosch, has a decentralised radiological service where 50% of the radiology forms part of specialised departments. This obviates patient traffic and ensures an efficient technical service and close collaboration between the radiologist and the specialist concerned. The main department, when finally completed in a few years' time, will have 24 diagnostic rooms for general and special purposes and about 30 decentralised rooms.
