	Digital Mammography Our top of the line hologic digital mammography systems allow for sharp, detailed images with superior resolution and reduced exposure and compression time. The fully automatic, self adjusting, self releasing tilt compression paddle compression paddle conforms to the natural contour of the breast, making positioning easier and offering incomparable patient comfort. >> Click here to learn more bout Digital Mammography & watch video
	Dexa Scan- Dual Energy X-ray Absortiometry, or DEXA scanning Is currently the most widely used method to measure bone mineral density. For the test, a patient lies down on an examining table, and the scanner rapidly directs x-ray energy from two different sources towards the bone being examined in an alternating fashion at a set frequency. The mineral density of the patient's bone weakens, or prolongs the transmission of these two sources of x-ray energy through a filter onto a counter in a degree related to the amount of bone mass present. The greater the bone mineral density, the greater the signal picked up by the photon counter. The use of the two different x-ray energy sources rather than more traditional radioisotope studies (such that would be used for a bone scan) greatly improves the precision and accuracy of the measurements.
	Ultrasound Our Philips Ultrasound units offer advanced integrated technology to maximize anatomic detail with multi-dimensional reconstruction. Color Doppler energy and high frequency imaging allow for expanded applications and greater detail, including OB-GYN, abdominal, pelvic, and vascular imaging. Ultrasound of the Venous To determine the cause of long-standing leg swelling. In people with a common condition called varicose veins, the valves that keep blood flowing back to the heart in the right direction may be damaged, and venous ultrasound can help the radiologist decide how best to deal with this condition. aid in the placement of a needle or catheter into a vein. Sonography can help locate the exact site of the vein and avoid complications, such as bleeding. map out the veins in the leg or arm so that pieces of vein may be removed and used to bypass a narrowed or blocked blood vessel. An example is using pieces of vein from the leg to surgically bypass narrowed heart (coronary) arteries. Nuchal Translucency Screening This prenatal test (also called the NT or nuchal fold scan) can help your healthcare practitioner assess your baby's risk of having Down syndrome (DS) and some other chromosomal abnormalities as well as major congenital heart problems.
Interventional Breast Procedures
	Ultrasound-Guided Breast Biopsy In ultrasound-guided breast biopsy, ultrasound imaging is used to help guide the radiologist's instruments to the site of the abnormal growth. >> Click here to learn more about Ultrasound Guided Breast Biopsy
	Stereotactic Breast Biopsy An x-ray procedure that uses multiple coordinates to precisely determine the location of a tumor or nodule so that a tissue sample may be obtained. >> Learn more about Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Stereotactic (Mammographically Guided) Breast Biopsy Image-guided biopsy is performed when the abnormal area in the breast is too small to be felt, making it difficult to locate the lesion by hand (called palpation). In stereotactic breast biopsy, a special mammography machine uses ionizing radiation to help guide the radiologist’s instruments to the site of the abnormal growth. >> Learn more about Stereotactic Breast Biopsy & watch video
	MR-Guided Breast Biopsy In MRI-guided breast biopsy, magnetic resonance imaging is used to help guide the radiologist's instruments to the site of the abnormal growth. >> Click here to learn more about MR-Guided Breast Biopsy & watch video
	Breast MRI Breast MRI uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to look specifically at the breast. It is a non-invasive procedure that doctors can use to determine what the inside of the breast looks like without having to do surgery or flatten the breast (as in a mammogram). >> click here to learn more about breast MRI & watch a video animation
