General Practitioners

• Osteoporosis
• Primary Care
  Our team is composed of Board Certified physicians who are Diagnostic Radiologists, Interventional Radiologists and/or Vascular Surgeons. Our sub-specialty physicians provide professional interpretations of diagnostic images to your primary care physician to assist with accurate diagnoses. Our Interventional and Vascular Surgery team utilizes both minimally-invasive, image-guided and advanced surgical procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system.
• Family Practice
• Colonoscopy
  With the recent development of sub-second CT scanners (which we have at X-Ray Consultants, P.C. (XRC)), fascinating noninvasive imaging procedures can now be performed that previously required considerable invasion. One example is CT angiography, wherein a simple injection of IV contrast can be used to render a detailed study of blood vessels. Another procedure is virtual colonography, which may soon rival colonoscopy for information without the need to undergo sedation or the insertion of a colonoscope.

Gynecologists

• Pelvic Pain
• Labor and Delivery
  UFE is performed under IV sedation and is much less invasive than open surgery. Embolization may also be used to halt severe bleeding following childbirth or bleeding that is caused by malignant gynecological tumors.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  “My doctor told me to go to _______ for this ultrasound. I said, ‘no’. I wanted to go to XRC. The tech and nurse I had cared the entire time about my well-being, explained everything and also gave me some good advice. She also cared about my modesty. I will recommend XRC to everyone. So easy to get to, good parking, friendly people and good old-fashioned atmosphere. You are not just a number. Call me if you want me for a TV commercial.”
• MRI
  XRC offers digital mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, sonography, image-guided breast biopsy procedures (ultrasound, stereotactic, MRI), needle localization, ductography, MBI (Molecular Breast Imaging), and breast MRI.
• Radiology
  For more than 50 years, X-Ray Consultants, P.C. (XRC) has been recognized as one of the region’s premier private practice radiology groups. We now offer a complete assortment of the latest, minimally invasive IR treatments to treat a variety of medical conditions.
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  More recently, PET imaging has become a technology available in most communities. PET imaging is a nuclear medicine procedure in which a radioactive isotope, 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), is injected intravenously. The glucose, or “sugar” component of the FDG allows it to be “taken up” in cells seeking sugar. Because cancer cells are sugar-seekers, a disproportionate amount of FDG is captured within malignancies, making even tiny tumors visible during the scanning process.
• Mammography
  We hope you’ll agree that XRC is delivering mammography services in a manner today’s women want and expect. We also think you’ll see the influence of the women who were consulted in the design and décor of our facility.
• Computed Tomography
  Almost everyone is familiar with CT or “CAT” scans, which have been commonplace in medicine for approximately 30 years. Today’s CT scanners are better and faster than ever, capable of producing up to 16 “slices” of imaging in 0.5 second. Still, they are sometimes unable to detect tiny, often sub-clinical malignancies. Left undetected (and therefore untreated), these malignancies will grow and possibly metastasize, making their eventual treatment more challenging. Even when they are detectable on CT scans, they merely appear as abnormal masses and there is often uncertainty with regard to whether they are malignant or benign.
• Chemotherapy
  Radiofrequency, microwave and Cryoablation are some of the image-guided techniques that use heat or cold to destroy many types of cancerous tumors. These procedures may be used in conjunction with chemotherapy, radiation or surgery.
• Radiation Therapy
  PET-CT is useful for more than just “finding” and staging cancers; it can play an important role in monitoring a tumor’s response to chemotherapy or radiation therapy. In many instances a follow-up PET-CT scan can be performed after the first cycle of therapy to gauge the impact of a therapy regimen. If there has been a significant reduction in the tumor’s size or SUV, it can safely be said that the therapy has been successful and if indicated, can be effectively continued. On the other hand, should a follow-up PET-CT show little or no tumor response, a change in treatment might be indicated. This, obviously, can significantly improve treatment outcomes, shorten treatment durations and provide substantial cost savings.
• Interventional Radiology
  Vascular and interventional radiology offers a host of diagnostic and minimally invasive treatment options that may reduce pain, recovery time, infection rates, and hospital stays commonly associated with traditional surgery.

Surgeons

• General Surgery
  MISHAWAKA, Ind. — X-Ray Consultants (XRC) announced today that Ziad Fayad, M.D., has joined its team as a vascular surgeon. Dr. Fayad brings extensive expertise to the XRC team having trained in both vascular and general surgery in Lebanon, France and the U.S. “Dr. Fayad brings a unique combination of excellent training and experience as a vascular surgeon that complements … Read more
• Vascular Surgery
  Day to day responsibilities include robust work in all types of open vascular surgery, PAD and catheter-directed interventions. The chosen candidate will work alongside our current surgeon and interventional radiologists growing Interventional Oncology (radioembolization, chemoembolization and ablations), AAA, UFE, vertebral augmentation, central venous access including ports, IVC filters, central venous stenting/reconstruction, biliary/GI/GU interventions, some dialysis access maintenance, occasional TIPS, and the usual non-vascular drainage procedures and biopsies.  The hospital provides a PICC team.

Plastic Surgeons

• Breast Surgery
  Mammography itself is a safe, low-dose x-ray of the breast(s). There are two kinds of mammograms: screening and diagnostic. Screening mammograms involve two x-ray views of each breast. In the event an area of concern is identified, the patient may be called back for special additional views. Diagnostic mammograms require more views and are usually indicated in situations where patients have had prior breast surgery, implants or fibrocystic disease. In either exam, screening or diagnostic, the breasts will be temporarily and gently compressed in order to obtain the best possible image.
