- Emergency CareNeuro Interventional Radiologists offer treatment and management of disorders which includes aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), dural fistulas and acute stroke. The comprehensive approach to managing the emergency care of brain trauma victims increases the options available to patients. Advanced CT and MRI techniques allow Alliance Radiologists to more quickly identify the source and extent of brain trauma for quick, appropriate treatments.
- ObstetricsUltrasound is an excellent non-invasive method for examining organs and blood vessels with fine anatomical detail and real-time images. Ultrasound is utilized extensively in abdominal and pelvic imaging, including obstetrics. Venous, carotid, and extremity vascular studies are also routinely performed by our registered diagnostic medical sonographers with advanced vascular certification.
- Internal MedicineDr. Mihalovich graduated from the University of Kansas. He earned his Medical Doctor degree (MD) from the University of Kansas in 2001. He completed an internship in Internal Medicine at the University of Kansas in 2002 and a Residency in Diagnostic Radiology in 2006 from Duke University. He also completed a fellowship in Musculoskeletal Radiology at Duke University in 2007.
- Diabetes Care
- UltrasoundInterventional radiologists (IR) use their expertise in reading X-rays, ultrasound and other medical images to guide small instruments such as catheters through blood vessels to treat disease. These procedures are typically less invasive and much less costly then surgery. Here are just a few of the most common procedures preformed by Alliance IR physicians...
- MRIWire/Seed Localization is performed by the radiologist prior to surgery using mammographic, ultrasonographic, radioactive seed, or MRI guidance. This procedure identifies the area that allows the surgeon to localize and remove the correct area of breast tissue.
- RadiologyDr. Kauffman graduated from Kansas State University in 2010 with a BS Degree is Science. He received his Medical Degree (M.D.) from The University of Medicine and BioScience in 2015. His radiology residency was completed at University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2020. He also completed an Abdominal Imaging Fellowship at Duke University in 2021.

- Nuclear MedicineDr. Bergh graduated Cum Laude from Wichita State University with a BS in Engineering (Pre-Med). He earned his Medical Doctor degree (MD) from the University of Kansas in 1984. He completed a residency in Internal Medicine in 1987 and a residency in Diagnostic Radiology in 1992 from the University of Kansas Medical Center. He also completed a fellowship in Nuclear Medicine at the University of Texas in 1988.
- MammographyScreening mammograms are an annual routine exam. The goal of a screening mammogram is to detect breast cancer at its earliest stage in patients without symptoms. The American College of Radiology, Society of Breast Imaging, and American Society of Breast Surgeons recommend routine annual screening mammography in average risk women beginning at age 40. It is now also recommended that annual screening mammography in high risk (greater than or equal to 20% lifetime percent risk of breast cancer) women should begin at age 30.
- Computed TomographyCT is one of the most useful diagnostic examinations available and allows for the visualization of organs, bone and blood vessels. A rotating x-ray device and advanced computer create detailed cross-sectional images of regional anatomy. All exams are tailored by the radiologist to evaluate a given problem and are conducted by technologists with advanced certification in CT.
- Interventional RadiologyDr. Lee graduated from the University of Missouri - Kansas City with a BA degree in Biology in 1994. He earned his medical doctor (M.D.) degree at the University of Missouri - Kansas City in 1995. He completed his diagnostic radiology residency at the Indiana University Medical Center in 1999. He also completed a vascular and interventional radiology fellowship at the Indiana University Medical Center in 2000.

- LesionsCore Needle Biopsy is the primary technique used to diagnose most breast lesions in a minimally invasive fashion to determine if the patient requires further surgical intervention. The majority of breast biopsies are benign, but some patients are found to have breast cancer and surgery/oncology treatment are planned. Biopsies can be performed with 2D or 3D mammographic (stereotactic), ultrasound, or MRI guidance. The procedure is performed with local anaesthetic and is well tolerated by most patients.
