Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Ultrasound imaging is fast, painless, non-invasive, and easy. It is an excellent way to evaluate a fetus, to examine internal organs, to guide needle biopsies, and to diagnose vascular problems. Ultrasound, also called sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to show real-time visual images. Echoes are produced as sound waves travel through the body, which identify the distance and size of an object.
• MRI
  Magnetic Resonance Imaging, commonly referred to as MRI, is a scanning system that creates detailed images of the human anatomy using magnets, computers, and radio waves.
• Radiology
  The radiologists of Montgomery Radiology Associates perform radiological and imaging procedures to diagnose and treat a variety of medical conditions. Learn more about some of our most frequently performed procedures below.
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  Nuclear medicine is a special method of examination that uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiopharmaceuticals, to create images of bone, tissue, and organs. It is unique because it reveals both form and function of a targeted area, while other methods only reveal anatomical images.
• Mammography
  Mammography is an essential step towards early diagnosis of breast cancer. A mammography unit uses x-rays to obtain images of the breast from different angles. This unit exposes only the breast to x-rays and has a device to compress the breast and hold it in position.
• Computed Tomography
  The CCTA procedure requires an intravenous injection of iodine-containing contrast material ("xray dye"), accompanied by computed tomography (CT) scanning of the heart during a short breath hold. A state-of-the-art high-speed 64-slice CT scanner is required to obtain sharp images, which are computer-processed to provide detailed 3-D pictures of the coronary arteries and other portions of the heart.
• Interventional Radiology
  Interventional Radiology offers a cutting edge approach to many conditions. This technology has replaced the need for open surgery in many cases. Interventional Radiologists combine the use of state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic knowledge to target and treat an ever-widening range of conditions.

Surgeons

• General Surgery
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgery to treat spinal compression fractures. The procedure is used primarily in spinal vertebral bodies that have been weakened by osteoporosis. These fractures typically occur in the thoracic and lumbar spine.
• Hysterectomy
  Unlike a fully invasive surgery such as hysterectomy in which the uterus is removed, or myomectomy, which is the removal of the fibroids, UFE does not require general anesthesia or cause significant blood loss. Recovery time is also remarkably shortened. Patients who receive the uterine fibroid embolization return to their daily activities three times faster than those who had a more invasive procedure such as hysterectomy.

Dermatologists

• Cyst
• Lesions
  This procedure uses sound waves to produce pictures inside the breast to characterize lesions seen on mammography or palpable lumps.
