- Prostate CancerLung cancer is the nation’s leading cancer killer- taking the lives of more people each year than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined.
- Lung CancerThe ACR Lung Cancer Screening Center designation is a voluntary program that recognizes facilities that have committed to practice safe, effective diagnostic care for individuals at the highest risk for lung cancer.
- Multiple SclerosisMRI is the most sensitive exam for brain tumors, strokes and certain chronic disorders of the nervous system such as multiple sclerosis. In addition, it is a useful means of documenting brain abnormalities in patients with dementia and it is commonly used for patients with disease of the pituitary gland. MRI can detect tiny areas of tissue abnormality in patients with disease in many parts of the body.

- MRIX-Ray Medical Group, Inc provides excellence and professional service in MRI and Open MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) at our various locations throughout San Diego. The open MRI uses a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide remarkably clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. This modality is state of the art for imaging the brain and related vessels as well as disorders of the eyes and inner ears. It requires specialized equipment and expertise and allows evaluation of some body structures that may not be as visible with other imaging methods.

- Computed TomographyX-Ray Medical Group, Inc provides excellence and professional service in CT (computed tomography), sometimes called CAT scan at our various locations throughout San Diego. Our CT scan uses special x-ray equipment to obtain image data from different angles around the body and then uses computer processing of the information to show a cross-section of body tissues and organs.
- ChemotherapyChemoembolization is a way of delivering cancer treatment directly to a tumor. The liver is the most common part of the body for chemoembolization to be used, although it can be performed in other organs as well. Under X-Ray guidance, a small catheter is inserted into an artery in the groin. The catheter's tip is threaded into the artery in the liver that supplies blood flow to the tumor. Chemotherapy is injected through the catheter directly into the tumor and is mixed with particles that embolize or block the flow of blood to the diseased tissue. Because the majority of the chemotherapeutic agent is trapped inside the tumor, patients generally experience less systemic side effects than are associated with conventional chemotherapy (ie. no hair loss).
- Interventional RadiologyKevin T. Bui, M.D. graduated from Saint Louis University in 2013. He completed a residency in Diagnostic Radiology at the University of California, Irvine where he served as chief resident. He completed a fellowship in Vascular and Interventional Radiology at the University of California, San Diego and performs a wide variety of interventions. Dr. Bui has particular interest in venous disease, complex IVC filters and uterine artery embolization.
- NeurosurgeryNeurointerventional Radiology (also known as Neurointerventional Surgery or Endovascular Neurosurgery) is a medical specialty that uses minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat diseases of the brain, head, neck, and spine. Neurointerventional procedures use state-of-the-art devices and image-guided techniques to deliver treatments through a small puncture in the skin of the groin or the arm.
- Skin Cancer
- Cyst
- LesionsA brain AVM is an abnormal connection between the cerebral arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system, and located within the brain parenchyma. Although many AVMs are asymptomatic, AVMs in the brain can cause headache, bleeding, and lead to other serious neurologic problems, such as seizures. AVMs can be treated endovascularly with embolization using liquid embolics, such as Onyx and n-BCA. Alternatively, they can be treated by open surgery, or by gamma knife radiosurgery. Sometimes these lesions are treated by a combination of all three of these therapies.
