X-rays

The most common service that we provide is interpretation of diagnostic x-rays (Plain films). X-rays provide useful information about bones (fractures), the chest (heart and lungs), and the abdomen. Live x-rays may be obtained to look at the bowel with upper gastrointestinal (UGI) and lower gastrointestinal fluoroscopy (Contrast Enema)studies. An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is a test to evaluate the kidneys and bladder. Chest x-ray information UGI information Contrast Enema information IVP information

Computed Tomography
	Computed Tomography is sometimes called CAT scan or CT scan. This useful imaging study uses x-rays around the patient and powerful computer programs to provide detailed images inside of the body. Any body part can be imaged in intricate detail with a CT scan. CT of the Chest CT of the Body

Ultrasound
	Ultrasound produces images using sound waves which bounce off of the tissues of the body. Most people are familiar with the use of ultrasound to look at the fetus in pregnancy, but ultrasound can be used for many other valuable reasons. Ultrasound Information

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
	Magnetic resonance imaging is also known as MRI or MR. This machine produces very detailed images using magnets and radiowaves. Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Mammography
	Breast Cancer occurs in up to 1 in every 9 women. This devastating disease can be found early and treated better when a woman obtains mammagram as recommended by the american cancer society. Mammography

Nuclear Medicine
	Nuclear Medicine involves the use of medications (radiopharmaceuticals) which can be seen in various parts of the body as a result of different blood flow rates or metabolism differences. Learn more about Nuclear Medicine

Angiography and Venography
	Angiography and Venography are used to diagnose blood vessel problems. Iodine is used in the blood vessels to see them with x-rays. Angiography

Interventional Radiology

Interventional Radiology is a subspecialty of radiology which provides patients with a safer and less invasive alternative to conventional surgery. Procedures are typically performed as a same day outpatient procedure with very short recovery times. Dr. Wiley, Dr. Tang, and Dr. Mischiu are our interventional radiology fellowship trained radiologists.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy involves the treatment of cancer with radiation. Radiation is a type of energy that can be used to kill cancer cells. Radiation is classified into different types. The dose of radiation required to kill cancer cells in considerably larger than the dose used for an x-ray image. Since each patient with cancer has a unique situation, specially trained physicians (radiation oncologists or radiation therapists) determine the dose and area to be treated in each patient for the best result. Dr. Zittrich and Dr. Viravathana are the two radiation therapists who work with our group. Both physicians are very experienced with treating all types of cancer.
