Welcome to Saint Vincent Radiological Associates, Inc. 

Saint Vincent Radiological Associates, Inc. (SVRA) is a unique private practice in an academic setting differentiated by a commitment to quality and cost-effective patient-centered care.

While many practices are focused mainly on volume and throughput, SVRA stands out with unique oversight responsibilities that prioritize best practices and quality. The practice has provided clinical and academic radiology services to Saint Vincent Hospital since 1972. Saint Vincent Hospital is a tertiary care community teaching hospital, and in addition to diagnostic and interventional radiology services, SVRA also runs a fully accredited radiology residency program with 18 residents. This requires up-to-date radiologist expertise encompassing the full range of fellowship-trained specialists covering all modalities and systems of diagnostic radiology (CT, MRI, US, x-ray), mammography, nuclear radiology, vascular, and interventional radiology.

In addition to providing state-of-the-art, high-quality care, the resident teaching also demands the most up-to-date practices including utilization of appropriateness criteria for imaging recommendations and consultation, and oversight for report quality. Standardized template reporting and utilization of evidence-based follow-up recommendations are integrated for quality and teaching and result in cost-effective care with a reduction of unnecessary imaging. Examples include the incorporation of best practices as per American College of Radiology (ACR) White Paper recommendations for incidental findings, as well as ACR RADS (Reporting and Data Systems). SVRA radiologists also utilize the ACR RadPeer system integrated into PACS (Picture Archiving and Reporting Systems) workflow for both passive and active continual performance improvement.
