Body Imaging: Body imagers are radiologists who specialize in the use and interpretation of cross-sectional imaging techniques to diagnose and follow disease processes of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. With the use of computed tomography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, they identify neoplastic, inflammatory and traumatic lesions through the body. They also provide image-guided biopsies of suspicious lesions and catheter drainage of abnormal fluid collections.
Breast Imaging/Mammography: The radiologist is highly skilled in the diagnosis of all aspects of breast disease. Through screening mammography, these the radiologists are intent on identifying breast cancer in its earliest stages. They direct and interpret further evaluation of mammographically or clinically suspicious lesions with additional x-ray studies, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. When appropriate, they perform minimally invasive biopsy procedures to complete the diagnostic evaluation of suspicious breast lesions eliminating the need for surgery for benign lesions. The radiologist works closely with surgery, oncology, and pathology colleagues to provide cohesive patient care. A regular weekly case conference with these colleagues is used to obtain consensus opinions and keep current in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment options.
Musculoskeletal Radiology: These radiologists focus on the diagnosis of traumatic, degenerative and metabolic bone and joint disorders, as well as tumors of bone and muscle. Using standard x-rays and magnetic resonance imaging they can identify subtle derangements of bones, ligaments, muscles and cartilage, aiding orthopedic surgeons in approach and management. They can also perform arthrograms and joint injections as well as image-guided therapeutic spine injections. They provide a complete service for evaluating sports-related injuries. Computed tomography is used to aid in the display of fractures and used for surgical planning.
Neuroradiology: These radiologists specialize in the disorders of the central nervous system including the brain, head, neck, and spine. With the use of magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography they perform contrast myelography and image-directed therapeutic injections of the spine. Angiography is used to diagnose vascular lesions of the central nervous system
Interventional Radiology: This is a subspecialty of neuroradiology that utilizes catheter directed, minimally invasive techniques to occlude aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and tumors in the brain, neck and spine. Endovascular catheter directed techniques can also be used to treat acute stroke with clot removing catheters and intra-arterial administration of clot dissolving medication, often reversing stroke symptoms. Arterial stenosis of the arteries of the neck and brain can be treated using stents and drug eluting stents.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): These radiologists specialize in reading the magnetic resonance images proving clear and detailed pictures of the internal organs and tissues. This imagery helps in identifying injuries from athletes as well as the degeneration process of shoulders, knees, hips, etc. This can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease and oncology care as well.
Chest: These radiologists specialize in the diagnostic radiology diseases of the heart, lungs and chest to include modalities using cardiac and thoracic CT angiography used to diagnose vascular lesions of the central nervous system, chest radiography, high-resolution chest CT to diagnose pulmonary embolism as well as other diseases in this area.
