the barrier is about $2M per room, and if you have a busy service you need  
2-4 rooms. I have no objection to siting interventional radiology remotely from 
 diagnostic radiology in the OR or in the ER. Personally we have designed our 
new  building with  the entire suite of IR adjacent to the OR with one room 
in  the OR

I might add that in the new KCH there is also a full radiology  department in 
the ED, simply because the demand warrants it

It will have a CT 40 detector, ultrasound, four digital radiography rooms  
and an angio/fluoro suite. we are trying to figure out where to put an mri in  
the future in the ED

Radiology needs to be where the needs are

SAl So  you admit that there is no problem if you have the right set up, 
which brings  us back to the ideas that have been kicking arround for decades 
about OR in  the ER.  we have probably limited ourselves by a lack of imagination 
and  courage to address ER Radiology and OR plus ICU in one "space" without 
admin  barriers to care.
