Radiology
With the advent of X-rays, physicians have been able to look inside a patient’s body without invasive surgery. Now, there are a wide variety of ways to look inside the human body. Some of the techniques use x-rays combined with a computer to get a three-dimensional look inside. Others use ultrasound waves or magnetic waves to get a look. Sometimes injections, such as contrasting materials, are used to enhance the details.
Different types of imaging techniques are used to diagnose different conditions. Our diagnostic imaging techniques give your doctor information about what is happening inside your body, leading to a more accurate diagnosis and better treatment. Here are some important diagnostic imaging terms and procedures to help you better understand the possibilities of modern radiology.
Image-Guided Biopsy (Stereotactic and Ultrasound)
A type of ultrasound scan used to look at the heart and nearby blood vessels. This procedure can be used to detect damage from a heart attack, heart failure, blockage, congenital heart disease, endocarditis, and cardiomyopathy.
A form of x-ray scan that creates real-time video using a device called a fluoroscope to examine tissues and structures deep inside the body.
These are performed at our Ambulatory Surgery Center in collaboration with our expert physicians.
