• Prostate Cancer
  Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women. In men, prostate cancer is more common, while in women breast cancer is more common. About 14% of all new cancers are lung cancers. While it is the second most common cancer, it has a worse prognosis and is by far the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women; about 1 out of 4 cancer deaths are from lung cancer. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined.  Despite the very serious prognosis of lung cancer, some people with earlier stage cancers are cured. More than 430,000 people alive today have been diagnosed with lung cancer at some point.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  We at FWRadiology believe in doing whatever we can to make our patients more comfortable and more informed. You will receive helpful information about your radiology procedure before your examination.  If you would like additional information, we recommend starting your research at RadiologyInfo.org, an online resource for medical imaging, jointly sponsored by RSNA and the American College of Radiology. RadiologyInfo.org will help you learn how various X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, radiation therapy and other procedures are performed. It addresses what you may experience and how to prepare for your exams. The website contains over 230 procedure and disease descriptions covering diagnostic and interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and radiation safety in English and Spanish. You will also find videos of radiologists explaining common imaging exams to help you better understand your upcoming exam including how to prepare and what to expect during your appointment.
• MRI
• Radiology
  Radiology.  “One in five people are showing up for the exam without any information about the test they are getting,” said Dr. Jay K. Pahade, an associate professor of radiology at the Yale School of Medicine.  Unfortunately, patients that don’t have enough information are often more anxious before their radiology exam.
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
• Mammography
  FWRadiology provides state-of-the-art imaging technology and diagnostic services. We serve hospitals, physician offices, universities and occupational health facilities. We also operate and provide radiology services for our own Mammography and PET Imaging facilities. For over 70 years, we have been delivering premium, highly specialized radiological services in person and remotely within our region.
• Computed Tomography
  Studies have shown that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening exams reduced lung cancer deaths in individuals at high-risk for developing lung cancer.  LDCT is a procedure that uses low-dose radiation to make pictures of your lungs.  Our radiologists review these pictures looking for early signs of lung cancer.  Lung cancer typically occurs in the form of a lung nodule but more than 95% of these nodules do not represent cancer. If your LDCT scan detects a nodule, our radiologists will likely recommend a follow-up LDCT scan several months later to check that the nodule does not change in size. If the nodule grows or is suspicious, our radiologist may recommend further evaluation with an advanced imaging study (PET) and/or removal of a small piece of the nodule (called a biopsy) to determine if the nodule is malignant (cancerous) or benign.
