UDI Services

UDI is a unique subspecialty, free-standing, diagnostic facility, affiliated with H. Lee Moffitt  Cancer Center and USF College of Medicine. For the past 24 years UDI has specialized in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computerized Tomography (CT) imaging and the physicians and staff have focused on the care of each patient as an individual. This specialization has enabled UDI to providethe Tampa Bay community at large with the most advanced cutting-edge technology, exceptional quality, and highly experienced radiology interpretation, all of which serves utlimately to benefit our patient population. UDI physicians have a "hands on" philosophy than larger, non-specialized physicians. Each fellowship-trained Radiologist is a subspecialist in his chosen field.

UDI currently has two state-of-the-art High-Field 1.5 Tesla MRI scanners, one ultra-high field 3.0 Tesla MRI scanner, and an Open MR to provide patients with flexibility, convenience, safety, and comfort. UDI's state-of-the-art 64-slice CT scanner provides extremely fast and safe body imaging with high-resolution imagery in multiple planes. Our facility consistently always stives tp provide the very latest in imaging technology to ensure high quality diagnosis for our patients and their physicians.

Policy on Results

UDI radiologists are on site whenever the center is operating to provide ordering physicians, PA's ,and ARNP's with direct access to STAT results. Reports are faxed or delivered within 24 hours or less of the examination, or, if requested, immediately upon completion. UDI now provides images on film or CD-ROM for review. Because of our new PACS system, referring physicians can log into the UDI computers to directly access their patients' imaging studies over the internet. Exams performed on H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center or James A. Haley Vetrean's Administration patients are immediately available in those two hospitals upon exam completion via teleradiography or existing direct firber optic connections.
