Today's diagnostic
imaging technology has evolved to a new level of accuracy, detail, speed and usefulness
for a variety of health concerns. Baton Rouge Radiology Group is on the forefront
of the field of radiology and offers other imaging techniques, including:
- Bone
Densitometry– DEXA scans provide a safe and painless
way of assessing bone density and bone mineral content. Bone
loss can lead to higher risk of fractures, especially in women
over the age of 50.
- Interventional
Radiology–
Available at our Baton Rouge General Medical Center, interventional
radiology offers many advances. Biopsy of small lesions that
were detected by high-resolution scans can be performed. Catheter
placement under fluoroscopy can turn a formal procedure into
an outpatient procedure with almost no recovery needed. And
clogged arteries can be dilated and reopened without the need
for surgery. Our staff includes fellowship-trained physicians
who can perform these studies with the highest level of expertise.
- Musculoskeletal
Radiology– Our fellowship-trained physicians provide
orthopedists and other doctors the highest-quality interpretation
of joint imaging.
- Cancer
Screening & Staging– We work in conjunction with
area oncologists for timely results involving the imaging workup
of cancer.
