What Are Imaging & Diagnostic Services?
Diagnostic imaging is the medical discipline devoted to imaging the inside of the body, analyzing the image to detect abnormalities or disease, and in some instance, treating the problem. Radiologists and Nuclear Medicine Physicians are specially trained doctors who have undergone additional education in diagnostic imaging and image-guided interventions. Primary care physicians, doctors of cardiology, neurology, orthopaedics, and others rely upon diagnostic imaging to confirm medical diagnoses.
What is Radiation Oncology
Radiation oncology is used primarily to destroy tumor cells by means of precisely targeted radiation. Radiation therapy is used to treat cancerous tumors of the brain, neck, throat, breast, lungs, colon, prostate and other organs. It also may be used for the relief of symptoms caused by cancer.
Technology
Our complement of sophisticated equipment includes high-speed Computed Tomography (CT) scanners, MRI scanners, PET/CT scanners, digital mammography with Computer-Aided Detection (CAD), and the latest equipment and methods for treating cancer just to name a few.
Research
Many of our physicians participate in or conduct clinical research studies. The work they perform helps advance the scientific body of knowledge and contributes to development of improved imaging and cancer treatment techniques.

| Q: |
What is ultrasound?
|
| A: |
Ultrasound is a range of high-frequency sound waves above the range of human hearing. When emitted by an ultrasound probe, they travel harmlessly through the body. As they bounce off various layers of tissue the probe detects their echoes, which are displayed on a monitor as images of the internal structures of the body. Ultrasound is the preferred method for monitoring the fetus during pregnancy, and for use in diagnosing numerous conditions involving the liver, kidney, heart, blood vessels and other organs. |
