Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is a nonoperative procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. These real-time images provide our doctors with insight into your pain as well as aid them in determining your diagnosis.
• MRI
  “I fell on my concrete driveway in December late at night. I went to an all-care facility in Benbrook, and my right wrist was x-rayed. Nothing showed at that facility, but it was suggested that I have an MRI done if the pain and swelling continued. It did. An MRI was done, and a fracture in the wrist area was found. Dr. Niedermeier saw me and double-checked that the fracture was still aligned. His course of treatment has settled my worry about the injury. He set up a two-week check to monitor the process of my bone knitting together correctly and will continue to monitor its progress over several weeks. His instructions to me were not only clear-cut. I received the notes he took via email to keep me on track with what I need to do at home for my wrist. My stress level is now a big, fat zero. Thank you, Dr. Niedermeier.”

  A digital X-ray (digital radiology) is a form of X-ray imaging where digital X-ray sensors are used in place of traditional photographic film. Digital X-ray is used to diagnose conditions by taking pictures of the inside of the body.
