Cardiothoracic Radiology

Cardiothoracic radiologists interpret imaging studies related to the lungs, pleura, mediastinum, chest wall, heart, pericardium and the thoracic vascular system.

Imaging modalities offered:

Chest Radiography (X-Ray)

An X-ray is a photographic or digital image of the internal composition or part of the body. It is the most common imaging technology.

CT

A computerized tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images, or slices, of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body.

MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) does not use x-rays to form an image. The MRI uses radio waves and magnets to interact with water molecules inside your body to form an image.
