ABOUT US

NOIA provides subspecialty spine and musculoskeletal expertise through its national teleradiology network to over 65 hospitals and imaging centers in 12 states. All studies referred to NOIA are interpreted by fellowship trained spine or MSK radiologists with years of experience working together to provide a best in class level of expertise at all times.

The NOIA team

Although located in three different time zones, NOIA radiologists work together from a common work list, allowing timely readings on all cases, including stat reads and cases referred on weekends. The common work list also allows multiple subspecialists to immediately review complicated cases. The radiologists are available for direct consultation by centers and referring physicians on protocols and results. The reports are concise, complete and accurate.

Partner Support

NOIA works with its imaging center partners in the identification and purchase of technical equipment, training and support of technical staff, and providing access to NOIA’s national purchasing contracts for imaging center supplies. NOIA radiologists actively work with the network sites to leverage their expertise in helping the centers market in their communities to enhance musculoskeletal and spine referrals.
