Texas Radiology Associates
A Collegial Expert Network for Quality Diagnostics

Evolved from a practice started by three radiologists in 1972, Texas Radiology Associates (TRA) stands as a prominent player in the radiology services sector with a network of over a hundred and forty radiologists from every radiology specialty. The company takes pride in its staff, who work collegially, collaborating with hospitals and referring physicians to offer the highest level of radiology services to improve the health of their communities.

“We have the best clinicians, who provide the best value and care to patients, hospitals, and imaging centers. That is our mission, vision, and value,” says Dr. Ted S Wen, managing partner at TRA.

TRA’s clinicians provide radiology services in diagnostic, interventional, and neurointerventional radiology domains. It offers vascular and non-vascular services in various specialties like women’s imaging, neuroradiology, pediatric radiology, abdominal imaging, musculoskeletal (sports) imaging, cardiovascular imaging, MRI, nuclear medicine, and emergency radiology. These specialty services are offered by TRA, irrespective of location. For example, the company’s pediatric radiologists travel all across Dallas-Fort Worth for procedures.

Providing specialty reads is a critical need due to the evolution of medicine. This evolution is a pro, and a con as new technologies like AI are becoming part of the expansion at an overwhelming rate. In this demanding environment, TRA offers the best care possible at a reasonable cost.

One of the reasons for TRA’s quality care is the development of a technology company called Collaborative Imaging. The AI-powered technology in the company’s workflow helps solve issues like preventing the “Swiss Cheese Hole” errors in healthcare. By adopting these innovations, TRA is ‘plugging’ these holes in the diagnostics area. This technology stemmed from a failure in the system for a patient TRA provided care for through the emergency room, where the client’s invasive breast cancer, which was promptly detected and reported during an CT scan for a pulmonary embolus but the patient was not informed by her providers of the finding until a year later during her well-check. This heart-breaking incident drove TRA to collaboratively build this technology to identify processes and communication gaps that humans may fail on and offer the superior quality care patients deserve.
TRA implements its technology with compassion, approaching issues with a critical balance of the best technology and humans. The radiologists at TRA provide services, subspecialty interpretations that give consultations at the maximum expert level. Its mission to provide the best care, having started with two locations to now catering to 90 locations across the U.S., is possible due to TRA’s reputation in treating its clients/patients with maximum respect.

“We are available 24/7. We do not want any issue to sit, and percolate and become a bigger issue. We want to address it at the moment and that’s what we vow to do as radiologists,” says Dr. Wen.

TRA takes the utmost care in on-site consultations and values face-to-face interactions with its clients. The company guarantees excellent care through its intense program that mentors cream-of-the-crop radiologists. With expert clinical services and high-end technology, TRA and its robust network of radiologists are able to provide immediate quality care anytime, anywhere.
