• Colonoscopy
  Virtual Colonoscopy is an excellent screening tool for those who want peace of mind without the need for anesthesia, extensive preps or invasive procedures.

Gynecologists

• Female Infertility
• Labor and Delivery
  Fibroid tumors, also called myomas, are benign masses in the uterus that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding and pain and pressure in the pelvis. Fibroid embolization involves the injection of tiny particles into the two arteries in the uterus via a catheter under local anesthesia. This blocks blood flow, killing the fibroid tissue, shrinking the tumors and relieving symptoms. Embolization can be an alternative to hysterectomy in pre-menopausal women with symptom-causing fibroids who do not plan on becoming pregnant and is an alternative to open surgery for those who do not wish to receive blood transfusions. The procedure may also be used to reduce bleeding caused by childbirth or malignant tumors.

Internists

• Internal Medicine
  Stephen N. Kahn, M.D. is board-certified by the American Board of Radiology. He earned his B.S. degree from Bloomfield College where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. He was also a Molecular Biology graduate student and teaching assistant at Seton Hall University. He earned his medical doctorate from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY. He completed his internship in Internal Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center and his residency in Radiology at North Shore University Hospital. He then held a fellowship in Abdominal Imaging at New York University Medical Center, New York, NY.
• Gastroenterology
• Kidney Stones
  Percutaneous nephrostomy and stent placement are minimally invasive treatments performed to prevent urinary leakage or clear blockages in the urethra (such as those caused by kidney stones). Nephrostomy is most often performed to drain urine when the urethra is blocked, although it can also aid in other urological procedures such as chemical stone dissolution, chemotherapy and stent placement. Stents are placed to widen the urethra so blockages may pass through.
• Ovarian Cancer
• Colon Cancer
  Virtual Colonoscopy is an effective screen for Colon Cancer. Colon cancer screening is one of the best ways to prevent colorectal cancer. In general, your risk of developing colon cancer increases as you age. If this is your only risk factor, you are considered "average risk." Other factors in your personal and family medical history may increase your risk. The simplest way for average-risk individuals to prevent colorectal cancer is to receive colon cancer screening beginning at age 50. If there's a tendency towards colon cancer in the family, as evidenced by a close relative with colon cancer, it's advised to start 10 years earlier.
• Prostate Cancer
  Radiation Oncologists Staten Island - Board Certified Radiation Oncologists from Regional Radiology specialize in Prostate Cancer Treatment, TomoTherapy and other procedures serving Staten Island and the surrounding area.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Dr. Singletary is an ACR Lead mammographer and is a principal breast imager and breast interventionalist. She is well versed in the performance and interpretation of fluoroscopy, chest abdomen and pelvic CT and ultrasound examination.
• MRI
  MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a non-invasive, radiation-free scanning technology that uses radio waves and magnetic fields to produce clear and detailed three-dimensional images of the body. MRI can be used to identify or precisely locate an injury or abnormality, to scan for developing problems or analyze damage from previous trauma, and to aid in the planning of surgery. MRI produces images of any area of the body and can be an invaluable tool for detecting tumors, infection, cancer and damage to the eye and inner ear, nervous system, heart and blood vessels, joint and musculoskeletal systems, major organs and male and female reproductive systems.

• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  Nuclear medicine images body functions based on energy emitted by a radioactive substance ingested prior to examination. Involving only a small dose of radiation (about equivalent to the amount in a regular X-ray) that carries near zero risk of allergic reaction, nuclear medicine is a non-invasive alternative to exploratory surgery. The main drawback is the amount of time needed for each test -- absorption of the radioactive material can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, and the scan itself can last as long as three hours.
• Mammography
  Diagnostic mammography is used to evaluate a patient with abnormal clinical findings such as a breast lump or lumps that have been found by the woman or her doctor. Diagnostic mammography may also be done after an abnormal screening mammography in order to determine the cause of the area of concern on the screening exam.
• Computed Tomography
  We utilize only non-ionic contrast (the safest contrast on the market) for all contrast-enhanced CT scans and IVPs. We also provide a team of I.V.-certified nurses with critical care experience to monitor all contrast studies. Our screening exams use the latest state-of-the-art technology to provide fast results and proper treatment.
• Chemotherapy
  Central venous catheters are hollow tubes used for the efficient delivery of chemotherapy drugs, fluids, blood or other medications, or for regular blood sampling, over the course of a few weeks or months. One end of the catheter is placed in the largest vein in the chest, called the Superior Vena Cava or SVC, while the other end may be tunnelled just beneath the skin's surface or surgically implanted (portacath or "port"). Catheters called PICCs (Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheters) may be inserted via a peripheral blood vessel.
• Radiation Therapy
  The TomoTherapy Hi·Art System®is a new, revolutionary way to treat cancer with radiation. With the TomoTherapy Hi·Art System®, the physician can check the location of the patient's tumor before each treatment, then deliver painless and precise radiation therapy based on a carefully customized plan. TomoTherapy combines precise 3-D imaging from computerized tomography (CT scanning) with highly targeted radiation beams.
• Radiation Oncology
  Regional Radiation Oncology is one of only a few radiation oncology practices in the country to offer a designated PET/CT simulation in the department. Unlike traditional CT or fluoroscopic simulations, PET/CT simulation enables radiation oncologists to use information on both the tumor's location and activity to precisely pinpoint the radiation to only where it's needed. PET/CT simulation differs from a conventional PET/CT scan by the use of a special immobilization device that's necessary for radiation treatment.
• Interventional Radiology
  Ronald A. Manfredi, M.D. earned his medical degree cum laude from the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, where he was awarded the Samuel L. Kountz Award for Clinical Excellence in Surgery, after attending the University of Pavia College of Medicine in Pavia, Italy. His post-graduate training included a transitional internship at St. Vincent's Hospital & Medical Center in New York and a residency in diagnostic radiology and fellowship in interventional radiology at The New York Hospital - Cornell Medical Center in New York, NY.

Surgeons

• Hysterectomy

Dermatologists

• Cyst
• Ulcer
  In an embolization, material is injected through a catheter into a blood vessel to block blood flow. This is often performed to stop excessive bleeding due to a tumor, ulcer or injury, or to relieve symptoms caused by a tumor or malformation by cutting off its nutrient supply. Embolization can also be helpful in controlling aneurysms and reducing the appearance of vascular lesions such as hemangiomas. Injected materials may remain in the body permanently or only temporarily, depending on the condition being treated. Diagnostic imaging using ultrasound, CT or MRI will be performed before the procedure.
• Lesions
  Regional Radiology is now performing a new PET/CT bone scan using a fluoride agent F-18 NaF which provides more sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing bone metastasis. Instead of a conventional bone scan this test utilizing NaF offers higher contrast and using PET offers better spatial resolution......all providing a better image in detecting smaller bone lesions. Reimbursement for this new test is covered only through Medicare at this time. Please call Regional Radiology regarding NaF and PET/CT imaging questions.
