Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

Shouldn't: affect the ability to get an imaging study as long as it is indicated medically. Still, it is true that in certain communities and in certain cultures that doesn't happen. Certain cultures will not allow a male physician examine a female patient nor matter how urgent. Some communities are under served, a very complicated problem.
