Vascular and interventional radiology
These minimally invasive procedures use image guidance to carry out various vascular and interventional treatments. Often, these procedures use medical instruments, such as catheters, needles and wires. These tools allow interventional radiologists to reach a wide range of areas in the body to treat diseases.
This type of treatment is commonly used when caring for a patient who has experienced a cerebrovascular accident (stroke). We perform interventional stroke procedures with assistance from our neurointerventional biplane angiography system, which provides 3D views of blood vessels leading to and with the brain.
Breast imaging
Mammography is a critical tool in the early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. If breast cancer is detected, we provide a full-service cancer care program and a dedicated team to guide patients through treatment and into survivorship. Our breast center offers comprehensive breast screening and imaging services, including mammography and breast MRI to patients in Gainesville.
