Non-invasive vascular imaging including aortic, carotid cerebral, peripheral vascular and renal angiography. Magnetic resonance imaging in breast exams has the potential to become a comprehensive platform for detection, localization biopsies and treatment of breast cancer. A radiograph of the breast can identify changes in the soft tissue and can identify calcifications or lesions, i.e. solid tumors or fluid cysts. Full digital capability with large core encisional biopsies. Ultrasonic evaluation of virtually any body part. The use of radioisotopes in bone scans, tumor imaging and P.E.T. The radioisotope is injected intravenously and picked up in areas of high bone metabolism. It can be used to evaluate metastatic disease. This is just one example of the many uses of Nuclear Medicine. Computed tomography scan is a diagnostic imaging tool similar to an x-ray that examines bones, soft tissue and blood vessels for a comprehensive view inside the body. Positron Emission Tomography is injection of radioactive material into the blood stream and tracked through the body similar to nuclear medicine examination with detection of carcinomas dramatically better. Accurate, painless, non-invasive procedure to identify patients with low bone mineral density, and the only way to measure the density of the bones. Critical to the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders using MRI, CT, PET, and traditional cerebral angiography and myelography. Testing for venous disease, artery disease, aid in the diagnosis problems in the arteries and veins of the legs, arm and neck.
