General Practitioners

• Osteoporosis
• Primary Care
  MSK imaging subspecialists work in partnership with primary care physicians, surgeons, sports medicine, orthopedic specialists and more. They interpret a variety of examinations depending on a patient’s needs.

Internists

• Lung Cancer
  CT Lung Cancer Screening  | Screening examinations are tests performed to find disease before symptoms begin. The goal of screening is to detect disease at its earliest and most treatable stage.Â

Neurologists

• Multiple Sclerosis
  Neurological imaging subspecialists (neuroradiologists) use a variety of techniques to obtain images of the head, neck and spine. This information is used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions such as stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, headaches, hearing loss, multiple sclerosis and brain tumors.

Psychiatrists

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Ultrasound  | Ultrasound imaging uses a transducer or probe to generate sound waves and produce pictures of the body’s internal structures. It does not use ionizing radiation, has no known harmful effects, and provides a clear picture of soft tissues that don’t show up well on x-ray images.
• MRI
  Common cardiac imaging techniques include cardiac MRI, CT coronary angiography, calcium scoring, SPECT and PET/CT. Cardiac MRI is particularly helpful in determining the extent of a heart attack, delineating between irreversible heart damage and heart tissue at risk of irreversible damage. It can also determine cardiac infections, as well as evaluate blood flow, heart function, valves and defects.
• Radiology
  Catawba Radiology is here to help with any questions or concerns you may have prior to your exam. We are committed to providing compassionate and quality care. To assist you we have provided several online patient resources below which you may find helpful prior to your exam.
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging subspecialists identify and treat diseases in their earliest stages through the use of small amounts of radioactive material, which is either injected, swallowed or inhaled into the body. This allows specialized equipment to detect the radiation, producing a digitized image of the body’s tissue and organ function, rather than just anatomic structure. These images are often combined with patient anatomy scans, allowing detailed assessment of both form and function.
• Mammography
  Mammography (Screening & Diagnostic)  | A screening mammogram is an annual exam performed as a preventative measure. It is recommended that all women over the age of 40 receive an annual screening mammogram. A diagnostic mammogram is used to look more closely at a specific area of abnormality.
• Computed Tomography
  CT  | Computed Tomography (CT) is a diagnostic test that, like traditional x-rays, produces multiple images or pictures of the inside of the body. CT images of internal organs, bones, soft tissue and blood vessels typically provide greater detail than traditional x-rays, particularly of soft tissues and blood vessels.
• Chemotherapy
  Chemoembolization / Radioembolization (Y-90)  | This non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure places chemotherapy or radiation and embolic agents (agents that block blood flow) into a blood vessel feeding a cancerous tumor to cut off the tumor’s blood supply and trap the chemotherapy or radiation within.
• Radiation Oncology
  Utilizing the latest technology and techniques, our cancer treatment and intervention team coordinates care from multiple specialties including radiation oncology and medical oncology to facilitate leading edge cancer treatment.

Surgeons

• Vascular Surgery
  €œChronic Venous Insufficiency.†Vascular Web. Society for Vascular Surgery, Jan. 2011. Web.http://www.vascularweb.org/vascularhealth/Pages/chronic-venous-insufficiency.aspx
• Hysterectomy
  After an ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of uterine fibroids, I had a discussion with Dr. Bools about Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) as an alternative to hysterectomy. I was ecstatic to learn there were options other than a hysterectomy for me at my age.

Dermatologists

• Lesions
  Breast Ultrasound  | This exam allows  physicians to better characterize breast lesions, such as whether they are solid or fluid-filled.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  Musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging radiologists focus on diagnosing bone and joint abnormalities, including orthopedic, rheumatologic and traumatic conditions. By specializing in musculoskeletal imaging, these physician experts are capable of focusing on additional nuances related to orthopedic and sports medicine injuries.
