There are many procedures we perform, but some of our most common are:

• Mammography: An X-ray technique that's used to create an image of the breast.
• MRI: An extremely precise way to look inside the body without using X-rays.
• Nuclear Medicine: Using radioactive materials, nuclear medicine helps diagnose and treat a wide variety of diseases and disorders.
• PET Scan: PET scans produce pictures of metabolism which cannot be obtained with CT, MRI or conventional X-ray.
• Ultrasound: Ultrasound uses sound waves to obtain a medical image or picture of various organs and tissues in the body.
• X-ray: A medical procedure using X-rays that helps identify disease or injury inside the human body.
