Procedures & Services

With expertise in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, and PET-CT, our body imaging subspecialists help evaluate diseases and disorders of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Our body imagers also focus on cancer detection, staging, and surveillance. They have extensive expertise in low-dose lung cancer screening CT, prostate MRI, female pelvic MRI, and colorectal MRI. Additionally, our body imagers routinely participate in multidisciplinary tumor boards to discuss patient diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Mission: RP Gulf Coast has a dedicated team of breast imagers, most of whom are fellowship trained in breast imaging. As a subspecialized section, our team is focused on the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer. We utilize the latest technologies including tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography as well as breast ultrasound and MRI.

Our philosophy is to work alongside our surgical and oncologic colleagues to offer the highest level of imaging and imaging-guided biopsy to our patients. We routinely engage in multidisciplinary tumor boards and speaking engagements to patients about the utility of screening mammography.

Most importantly, we encourage all women above the age of 40 to be judicious in obtaining a yearly mammogram. Despite recent controversy suggesting alternative years or delayed onset of screening, 1 in 6 Breast cancers will be found in women between the ages of 40 and 50. Moreover, these cancers tend to be more aggressive, which means that these patients would get the most benefit from screening mammography.

Using state-of-the-art multi-detector CT scanners, our cardiac imagers help evaluate diseases of the heart, coronary arteries, and thoracic aorta. They help perform and interpret coronary CT angiography (CCTA), CT calcium scoring, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement pre-procedure planning CT angiography (CTA). Our cardiac imagers work collaboratively with referring providers, including primary care physicians, cardiologists, and cardiothoracic surgeons.

Our MSK subspecialists focus on imaging of the joints, muscles, and bones. They use CT, MRI, and ultrasound to diagnose sports injuries, degenerative arthritis, rheumatologic diseases, cancer, and traumatic injuries. They work closely with primary care physicians, rheumatologists, podiatrists, and orthopedic surgeons in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Our MSK subspecialists also perform arthrograms and steroid injections for diagnosis and treatment.

Our neuroradiologists are experts in the interpretation of imaging examinations of the brain, spine, and head & neck. They also perform minimally invasive procedures of the nervous system, including lumbar puncture, imaging-guided spine injections for pain relief, and myelograms. Working closely with our clinical colleagues, our neuroradiologists help diagnose the presence and causes of nervous system pathologies such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, cancer, and traumatic injuries.

The Vascular & Interventional Radiology section at RP Gulf Coast is comprised of highly skilled, fellowship-trained physicians who have trained at premier institutions both locally and across the country. Our physicians have expertise in the clinical management of various diseases and have experience in treating nearly every organ system. We offer a full range of minimally invasive non-vascular and vascular procedures, including interventional oncology (Y90 radioembolization, chemoembolization, and percutaneous ablation), uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), hemodialysis access and maintenance, and peripheral arterial disease treatments.
