Diagnostic Imaging
The Department of Radiology provides a full array of diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic radiologic and nuclear medicine services. The department is staffed by board-certified radiologists and supports a fully accredited independent radiology residency program. Services are provided on a scheduled or on an emergency as-needed- emergency basis to both inpatients and outpatients, from newborn to seniors elderly by radiologists, residents, and specially trained technicans.
For diagnostic evaluation there are two fully accredited Mammographic Suites, a stereotactic biopsy unit, digital radiography and fluoroscopy, two multi-slice CT scanners, digital angiography, ultrasound, and three gamma cameras with SPECT capability. The Department of Radiology also features a state of the art 1.5 tesla MRI unit. Biopsies are performed utilizing CT and/or ultrasound guidance. Catheter placement and maintenance is performed routinely in the Angiography Suite. There are two Board Certified Nuclear Medicine physicians overseeing Nuclear Medicine studies, which include monoclonal antibody and peptide oncologic agents, lymphoscintigraphy, and therapeutic isotopes.
The Department actively participates in the multidisciplinary approach to patient care.
