VASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY

Vascular and interventional radiology (VIR), also known as interventional radiology (IR), is a medical subspecialty providing minimally invasive, image-guided diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Computed Tomography - CT

Computed Tomography (sometimes called CT or CAT scan) is a painless test that combines x-rays and computers to produce cross sectional images that appear as slices. The result is a detailed picture that may show problems with soft tissues (such as the lining of sinuses), organs (such as kidneys or lungs) and bones.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed pictures of the body’s internal structures that are clearer, more detailed and more likely in some instances to identify and accurately characterize disease than other imaging methods.

SCREENING SERVICES

We offer a range of screening studies for health maintenance. Whether part of an annual routine or a one-time assessment, our screening services can evaluate the presence of abnormalities in many different areas.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging uses a transducer or probe to generate sound waves and produce pictures of the body’s internal structures. It does not use ionizing radiation, has no known harmful effects, and provides a clear picture of soft tissues that don’t show up well on x-ray images.

WOMEN'S IMAGING

Our radiologists are specialty trained in women’s imaging, and we provide some of the most advanced imaging technology, such as 3D digital mammography and Breast MRI.

POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET)

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a test that uses a special camera and small amounts of radioactive matter known as tracer to view organs in the body.

Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear Medicine uses a small amount of radioactive matter (tracer) and a special camera to form images. This procedure is used to visualize the structure and function of an organ tissue, bone or system of the body.

GENERAL RADIOLOGY (X-RAY)

General radiology (X-Rays) is the most widely known form of medical imaging. X-rays are a form of energy, like light or radio waves, which penetrate the body.
