Overview:
Diagnostic Radiology uses X-rays, which are the oldest form of medical imaging, to produce images that are used by Physicians to assist them in diagnosing a multitude of abnormalities. These images can be used to identify and monitor bone fractures, diagnose and monitor the progression of degenerative diseases, and detect and diagnose certain cancers. Diagnostic Radiology is used to capture static images as well as to evaluate movement within specific joints or systems of the body.

Standard X-rays and fluoroscopic exams may be the first step in the comprehensive radiologic evaluation of a patient. Results from these exams could lead to a more individualized work-up that may include specialized imaging modalities such as CT Scanning, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound or Nuclear Medicine.

RSD interprets diagnostic radiology studies that are done each year at our Imaging Centers. Our Radiologists work closely with referring physicians to ensure that patients receive the most comprehensive evaluation possible.
