Bone Density
For those at risk for osteoporosis, a bone density test can help determine bone fragility before you break a bone. Bone density tests are used to determine your risk for fractures, confirm osteoporosis, and monitor treatment. Dense bones are usually stronger and less likely to break.
Breast Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a safe, pain-free way to produce pictures inside the body using sound waves. A breast ultrasound can be used to screen and evaluate lumps or abnormalities found during a routine mammogram.
CT Scan
A CT scan combines a series of x-rays to produce a more detailed image of bones, vessels, and tissues. This scan is used for a range of things, including determining the severity of internal trauma, pinpointing the location of a tumor, or diagnosing muscle, bone and vascular disorders.
Fluoroscopy
A fluoroscopy can be thought of as a continuous x-ray that shows results in real time. This provides our medical team with a detailed look at specific areas of the body, from bones and joints to organs.
General Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging, or sonography, is non-invasive way to produce pictures inside the body. It can be used to help determine sources of pain or infection, and is most commonly known for its use in examining a baby before birth.
Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology uses imaging as a guide for minimally invasive surgical procedures that diagnose and treat disease. A wide range of interventional radiology procedures all have the common goal of minimizing risk to the patient. Types of imaging include fluoroscopy, MRI, CT, and ultrasound.
MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a form of imaging that uses radio waves and a magnetic field to produce a detailed picture of organs and tissues. It can help diagnose a variety of ailments with its high resolution images. Most frequently, an MRI is used to get an accurate picture of the brain and spinal cord.
Mammography
Mammography is used to detect early-stage breast cancer. Radiology and digital technology allows for the identification of potentially malignant masses in the breast.
Neurointerventional Radiology
Neurointerventional Radiology uses minimally invasive techniques to treat vascular diseases of the brain and spine. By navigating catheters and devices through the body’s arteries and veins, we are able to treat stroke, brain tumor, cerebral aneurysm, and other life-threatening conditions without the need for open surgery.
Nuclear Medicine
While diagnosing internal problems used to require surgery, now nuclear medicine can provide detailed information regarding organ function in a non-invasive manner. By introducing radioisotopes to the body, physicians can note where the radioactive material concentrates and diagnose the location and type of health issue.
Vascular Ultrasound
A vascular ultrasound examines the circulation of blood vessels throughout the body. Sound waves help determine the speed of blood flow within arteries and veins of the body, indicating potential blockage or disease.
