Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology

Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology

TotalMD’s radiology department provides both diagnostic and interventional radiology. Our radiologists use state-of-the-art imaging technology to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions.

Diagnostic Radiology

Diagnostic radiology aims to provide accurate diagnoses using x-ray imaging, MRI, CT scans, and other imaging techniques. Radiologists use this technology to obtain clear and detailed images of organs, tissues, and other structures inside the body in order to identify fractures, tumors, infections, and other conditions. An accurate diagnosis is key in building the most effective treatment plan.

Services

  • X-ray: X-rays are typically the first line of imaging that allows doctors to see any major problems with bones, like fractures or dislocations
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): MRI uses a powerful magnet to pass radio waves through the body and produces highly-detailed pictures of the body’s structures, including soft tissues, nerves, and blood vessels. MRIs are useful in examining the brain, spinal cord, and extremities.
  • Computed tomography (CT scan): CT scans are fast and detailed, ideal for situations related to trauma, spotting blood clots, organ injuries, and bone fractures.
  • Ultrasound: Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce images of internal organs and tissues, including the heart, liver, and other organs.

Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology combines imaging techniques like x-ray, CT, and MRI with other modalities like stents, catheters, and more to allow surgeons to treat conditions less invasively. Utilizing these imaging technologies leads to improved precision, thus reducing the potential side effects of a procedure. Interventional radiology can be used to insert stents for blocked arteries, ablate tumors without surgery, drain abscesses, and more.

Services

  • Angiography: Angiography is a procedure that uses x-rays and contrast material to examine blood vessels and diagnose vascular conditions.
  • Biopsies: Biopsies are procedures that involve the removal of tissue samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Drainage and Abscess Management: Interventional radiology procedures can be used to drain fluid collections and manage abscesses.
  • Embolization: Embolization is a procedure that involves the placement of small particles or coils into blood vessels to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids and liver tumors.
  • Venous Access: Interventional radiology procedures can be used to place catheters and other devices into veins for medical treatments and procedures.
