Diagnostic Radiology
Diagnostic radiology can help determine the cause of symptoms you may be experiencing and as a screening test for diseases like breast cancer, colon cancer or heart disease. It also is used to monitor your body’s response to treatment you may be receiving for a specific condition or disease.

Interventional Radiology
When a diagnosis or treatment requires looking directly inside your body through a camera or during open surgery, interventional radiology is the technique of choice. Our interventional board-certified radiologists are extensively trained in this field.
