Diagnostic studies

Checks the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys and spleen with sound waves, no radiation. It is painless and usually done fasting.

Evaluates the uterus and ovaries, or the bladder and prostate. It can be done over the abdomen or, in some cases, internally for more detail.

Shows thyroid size, nodules and neck lymph nodes. It is the first test when a lump is felt in the neck.

Complements mammography and helps tell whether a lump is a fluid-filled cyst or a solid lesion.

Evaluates tendons, muscles and joints, such as the shoulder, knee or wrist, while you move, to find tears or inflammation.

Studies lumps under the skin, cysts, hernias or abscesses to learn what they are and how deep they go.

Evaluates the testicles and nearby structures when there is pain, swelling or a lump.

Measures blood flow in arm or leg veins and arteries to detect clots, varicose veins or narrowed arteries.

Checks the neck arteries that carry blood to the brain, looking for narrowing or plaque.

If your X-ray, mammogram, CT scan or bone density scan was done at another accredited facility, I can review and interpret it and prepare the report for your doctor. You can bring the study, or the facility can contact me.
