Radiology & Imaging Services

We provide expert imaging and diagnostic services with precision, efficiency, and care.

Our board-certified radiologists specialize in a wide range of imaging modalities to support accurate diagnoses and guide effective treatment.

From routine screenings to advanced interventional procedures, we are proud to partner with referring physicians and healthcare teams to deliver the highest standard of radiology care.

Interventional
Radiology

Interventional radiology uses imaging to guide minimally invasive medical procedures.

Learn more →

Angiography

A diagnostic procedure that uses contrast dye and imaging to visualize blood vessels and identify blockages or abnormalities.

Angioplasty and Stent Replacement

A minimally invasive procedure to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels using a small balloon and sometimes placing a stent to keep the vessel open.

Embolization

Blocks abnormal or bleeding blood vessels using tiny particles or coils—used in trauma, tumors, or uterine fibroids.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization

Treats noncancerous fibroid tumors in the uterus by blocking their blood supply, causing them to shrink.

Vertebroplasty/Kypheoplasty

Treats painful spinal fractures by injecting bone cement into collapsed vertebrae, often due to osteoporosis.

Image-Guided Biopsy

Uses ultrasound, CT, or fluoroscopy to precisely guide a needle for tissue sampling—commonly used for lung, liver, or breast lesions.

Interventional Radiology Cancer Treatments

Interventional radiology is a relatively new field of medicine that utilizes a less invasive approach to both diagnosis and treatment with regard to cancer. There are two basic approaches to treatment/diagnosis. The first is the use of a radiofrequency or other ablation probes, which are placed under imaging guidance into the body and into the tumor through the skin.

​

The other approach would be through the artery. Typically, the artery in the right groin (common femoral artery) is accessed through the skin. Using different small tubes (catheters) and wires, the artery supplying the tumor is accessed. A small amount of contrast was injected to confirm the location. At this point, either beads with radiation, beads with no radiation, or beads laced with chemotherapy are injected into the tumor.


Common Uses
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer)
- Metastatic disease to the liver (most commonly from the breast or colon)
- Cholangiocarcinoma
- Renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer)
- Lung cancer
- Painful bony metastatic disease

Ultrasound for MSK 

Evaluates soft tissue masses, tendon tears, or joint effusions.

Women's Imaging

Women’s imaging focuses on using medical imaging techniques to diagnose and monitor conditions specific to women’s health.

3D Mammography

Specialized X-ray for breast tissue, used in cancer screening and diagnosis.

More Information 

Pelvic Ultrasound

Pelvic ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs.

Stereotactic Breast Biopsy

A stereotactic breast biopsy uses mammography to guide a needle for sampling breast tissue, often to evaluate abnormalities seen on a mammogram.

Breast Ultrasound

Uses sound waves to image breast tissue, often to assess lumps or dense areas.

DEXA (Bone Densitometry)

Measures bone density to diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk.​
