Background Medical services at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games (CWG) were provided though a purpose-built medical polyclinic, which had a fully equipped radiology department along with other services, set up within the main Games Village. Data analysis of radiology services offered at CWG has not been published before. Setting Imaging services within the polyclinic, Athletes Village, Glasgow 2014 CWG. Aim The aim of the paper is to analyse data on radiological investigations and assess the demand and distribution of workload on imaging services at CWG 2014. Methodology Data on radiology investigations at the CWG 2014 was retrieved from the Carestream picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and Pharmasys (CWG official centralised electronic database system) and analysed. Results Six hundred ninety-seven diagnostic and interventional procedures were performed. Of these 37.9?% were magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, 22?% were diagnostic ultrasound (US) examinations, 33.1?% were radiographs, 4.3?% were computed tomography (CT) scans and 2.7?% were imaging-guided interventional procedures. 88?% of imaging was performed on athletes and the remainder were performed on team officials and workforce. Demand on radiology services gradually picked up through the pre-competition period and peaked half way through the CWG. Conclusions Radiology played a vital role in the successful provision of medical services at the Glasgow 2014 CWG. High demand on imaging services can be expected at major international sporting events and therefore pre-event planning is vital. Having back-up facilities in case of technical failure should be given due importance when planning radiology services at future CWG events.
