Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Ultrasound is used to view internal organs and structures using ultrasonic waves. It can be used to diagnose gynecological problems, to help a practitioner guide a surgical instrument during a procedure, and is used commonly during pregnancy to view fetal anatomy and monitor fetal growth and well being. Our practice is proud to offer state-of-the-art ultrasonography services in our Springfield and Longmeadow office, including 3D and 4D imaging when indicated.
• Radiology
  This x-ray procedure is a study of the uterus and fallopian tubes. During the procedure, contrast dye is introduced into the uterine cavity through a catheter. The dye helps provide clear radiographic images of the areas, especially the patency of the tubes. This test is used to evaluate possible causes of infertility, and provide confirmation of post-Essure sterilization tubal occlusion. The test is performed by one of our doctors alongside a radiologist at the hospital’s radiology department. For infertility testing, days 7-10 of the menstrual cycle are ideal for this procedure, for other purposes the timing of this procedure is not as critical. For an in-depth discussion of an HSG, please visit UpToDate.
• Mammography
  Mammography is used as a screening and diagnostic test that uses radiology to provide images of breast tissue. Breast ultrasonography may be used as an additional testing method. Resulting images are used to detect and diagnose any abnormalities and determine the need for further testing or treatment. For an in-depth discussion of breast imaging, visit UpToDate.
• Chemotherapy
  Menopause can be “ induced ” by an external agent or event, such as removal of the ovaries (know as surgical menopause ), chemotherapy or illness. Surgical menopause may trigger more severe symptoms due to the sudden loss of hormones.
