General Practitioners

• Osteoporosis
  Women’s Imaging encompasses breast health, obstetric and gynecologic health, and osteoporosis screening. We aim to aid in the detection of early breast cancer as well as improve outcomes for women facing the disease. Also, we strive to maintain communication with the referring physician. We offer assistance with discussing findings with the patient, assisting with a surgical referral, as well as appropriate follow-up with the patient.
• Pediatric Care
  A pediatric radiologist is a board-certified physician who specializes in imaging diagnosis and intervention of illnesses, injuries, and diseases of children. Imaging encompasses all modalities used in adult imaging.
• Primary Care
  Our radiologists are readily available for consultation with your physician. It is best if your primary care physician contacts the facility where the exam or procedure is ordered to consult with the radiologist through one of the hotlines provided.

Gynecologists

• Pelvic Pain

Internists

• Lung Cancer
  Cancer remains the number two cause of death in Americans, accounting for over 550,000 deaths in 2007. While lung cancer is the third most common site of cancer, it was the number one cause of cancer death in 2007, accounting for more cancer deaths than prostate and breast cancer combined.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Particular tests are chosen based on the type of concern. For example, the best test to look for gallstones is an ultrasound. This test can be supplemented with a HIDA scan to look at the gallbladder function. The stomach and intestines are often initially imaged with a fluoroscopy study such as an upper GI study or a barium enema.
• MRI
  Neuroradiology is a subspecialty that focuses on pathology affecting the head, neck, and spine. Modalities such as CT, MRI, and myelography expedite the diagnosis and treatment of complex medical issues.
• Radiology
  We provide general and specialty radiology coverage to nine hospitals, two breast centers, nine outpatient imaging centers, and multiple physician offices throughout the north Alabama and southern Tennessee area.
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  Nuclear medicine uses minimal amounts of radioactive materials (radiopharmaceuticals) to diagnose and treat disease. In imaging, cameras detect radiopharmaceuticals by working with computers to provide precise pictures of the imaged area of the body.
• Mammography
  Digital mammography offers improved sensitivity of CAD (computer aided detection). Ultrasounds, in place of or in conjunction with other modalities, evaluate masses and perform biopsies. Ductography is an imaging procedure performed for bloody nipple discharge.
• Computed Tomography
  Body Imaging, also known as Abdominal Imaging, includes any imaging involving the organs of the abdomen and pelvis. Modalities include CT scans, MRI, ultrasound, and fluoroscopy. These are ways of imaging the liver, kidneys, spleen, gallbladder, and other organs, as well as the stomach and intestines.
• Interventional Radiology
  Today, interventional radiologists nonsurgically treat many conditions that once required surgery. They use X-rays, MRI, and other imaging to advance a catheter in the body, usually in an artery, to nonsurgically treat the source of the disease. Interventional radiology treatments offer less risk, pain, and recovery time compared to open surgery.
