TRA Medical Imaging
Pioneering Patient-Centered Radiology Care

TRA Medical Imaging, a trailblazing radiology service provider, is playing a catalytic role in helping healthcare professionals deliver high-quality imaging services. Its subspecialty-trained radiologists work with healthcare providers to optimize diagnostic evaluations for patients and to communicate results and recommendations.

“Our priority has always been to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care, continuing our legacy of innovation and service,” says Dr. Douglas P. Seiler, president of TRA Medical Imaging.

Leveraging over 100 years of history and experience, TRA Medical Imaging has emerged as a renowned source for cutting-edge medical technologies from MRI, PET, CT and interventional procedures to 3D mammography across the South Puget Sound region. TRA operates outpatient imaging centers and also delivers professional services to hospitals, freestanding emergency departments and urgent care facilities in multiple locations throughout the region. With over 1.4 million patient encounters annually, TRA provides the community with 24/7 comprehensive care.

TRA physicians have additional fellowship training in focused areas of radiology including chest/body imaging, neuroradiology, musculoskeletal radiology, mammography, pediatric radiology, nuclear imaging and interventional or neuro-interventional radiology. As imaging modalities, diagnostic pathways and care delivery systems continue to rapidly increase in complexity, sub-specialization facilitates the consistent delivery of high-quality radiologic care with associated improvements in patient outcomes and provider satisfaction.

Specific benefits of sub-specialization include patient and/or disease specific imaging protocols, consistent and accurate interpretation of radiologic exams and evidence-based recommendations for follow-up imaging or clinical care.

In addition to high-quality care and optimal patient outcomes, TRA Medical Imaging is committed to delivering excellent service to their patients and communities. Imaging examinations and procedures often generate anxiety for patients and their families, but TRA’s facilities, processes and people are focused on creating an environment that fosters trust and feels like family.

In support of the patient experience, TRA Medical Imaging is developing an innovative patient-facing mobile application as part of its suite of services. The TRA Mobile app is a virtual communication tool that streamlines patient access to TRA’s services in a single platform. The app covers every aspect of diagnostic imaging, from scheduling appointments to completing pre-visit tasks like forms and exam prep to obtaining final results for procedures. While TRA remains dedicated to excellent person-to-person service, the app’s easy-to-navigate features on iOS and Android platforms will enhance the patient experience by creating new flexible and convenient options for engaging with the practice.

Driven by the mission statement, ‘Trust our family to care for yours,’ TRA Medical Imaging fosters a corporate culture intended to feel more like a family business than a large corporation. TRA inspires staff and providers to deliver the best outcomes to patients while encouraging everyone to actively contribute to organizational development. “Family” also reflects TRA’s commitment to patient care and customer service. “It’s definitely the way any patient entering one of our facilities should expect to be treated,” states Dr. Seiler.

Honing its core values of compassion, accountability, respect and excellence, TRA Medical Imaging is an exemplary community partner in promoting better health and well-being for the present and future generations. Going forward, TRA Medical Imaging will continue to provide the best possible medical imaging services with the utmost emphasis on patient care.
