Osteoporosis is a disease in which bone density decreases, making bones brittle and prone to fractures. It is estimated that at age 50, a woman has nearly a 40% chance of developing an osteoporotic fracture during her remaining lifetime. A woman’s lifetime risk of hip fracture alone is equal to the combined risk of developing breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. Women...

A computed tomography (CT) scan, also known as a Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) scan, is a specialized X-ray procedure offered at Raleigh Radiology. During a CT scan, multiple images are taken and compiled into complete, cross-sectional pictures (or slices) of soft tissue, bone and blood vessels. The resulting images reveal details that are typically invisible or...

Fluoroscopy is a type of medical imaging that shows a continuous X-ray image on a monitor, much like an X-ray movie. It is used to diagnose or treat patients by displaying the movement of a body part or of an instrument or dye (contrast agent) through the body. During a fluoroscopy procedure, an X-ray beam is passed through the body. The image is transmitted to a monitor...

Vascular and Interventional Radiology is a medical subspecialty of radiology. Interventional Radiology utilizes minimally invasive, image guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in almost every organ system. Interventional Radiology allows for the diagnosis and treatment of patients using the least invasive techniques while minimizing risks to the patient and...

Raleigh Radiology is committed to providing patients with the most advanced mammography technology available. Digital Mammography with CAD (computer aided detection) is the best tool available to help detect breast cancer in its earliest stages – when it has the best chance of being cured. In clinical studies, digital mammography screening detected up to 28% more cancers...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive medical test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio waves to create images of the body’s internal organs and structures. The resulting images reveal details that are invisible or hard to see when using other imaging methods, such as X-rays, ultrasound exams or CT scans.  Physicians often rely on these MRI...

Nuclear medicine is a type of imaging that uses radioactive materials (called tracers) to identify and diagnose diseases and abnormalities within the body. The tracers are either injected into the bloodstream, inhaled, or swallowed. A specially designed gamma ray camera is then able to follow the tracers and produce images of specific body parts. This medical...

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan, also known as PET scan, is a highly specialized molecular imaging test that helps determine how your organs and tissues are functioning using a radioactive tracer. It’s often used in conjunction with computer tomography (CT) imaging to detect certain diseases before they would show up on other imaging studies. Unlike traditional...

Ultrasound imaging, also called sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound exams are safe and non-invasive, and do not use ionizing radiation (X-ray). Since ultrasound images are captured in real time, they can show the structure and movement of the body’s internal organs, as well...
