- Sinusitis
- RheumatologyA high volume of musculoskeletal MRI cases are drawn from multiple sites in the RadNet teleradiology network. This includes multiple orthopaedic/sports medicine and rheumatology groups. The fellow will gain experience with high field, 1.5/3.0 Tesla MR studies as well as low-field 0.2 to 1.0 T extremity scanners (E-Scan and C-Scan, ONI, MagneVue).
- ColonoscopyVirtual colonoscopy is a relatively new procedure that allows our highly skilled radiologists to recreate and evaluate the inner surface of the colon in a way that has never before been possible. It utilizes a combination of the latest CT technology and sophisticated image processing computers to generate images of the colon from start to finish. When the exam begins a small tube is placed in the rectum to allow for air to be introduced into the colon. You will be requested to hold your breath several times while the the "high speed spiral CT" rapidly scans your abdomen. It is a minimally invasive and painless test and takes approx 15 minutes. You will able to resume normal activity directly after the procedure.

- Colon CancerColon cancer risk increases with age, especially for individuals over 50 years old. However it is worthwhile noting that the majority of all colon cancers occur in people who have no risk factors.
- Prostate CancerMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed pictures of the structures within a man’s prostate gland. It is primarily used to evaluate the extent of prostate cancer and determine whether it has spread. It also may be used to help diagnose infection, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or congenital abnormalities.
- Lung CancerLung cancer CT screening is one of the most accurate diagnostic tools for finding lung cancer at an early stage, when it is most treatable. CT scans of the lung are able to detect small abnormalities in the lungs that could be the beginning stages of lung cancer. These indicators are often not visible on a routine chest X-ray. Since a CT lung screening offers the best opportunity for successful treatment of lung cancer before symptoms are noticed, more physicians are opting for lung cancer screening based on risk factors (like smoking and family history), rather than symptoms.
- Multiple SclerosisLesionQuant is used to calculate the volume, number, and location of plaques in patients with multiple sclerosis. The software highlights new, enlarging, or shrinking plaques. This allows for accurate tracking of disease status over time.
- EpilepsyA FDG brain PET/CT is used to image the metabolic function of the brain. Positron emission tomography (PET) uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers, a special camera, and a computer to help evaluate the brain. It is most commonly used to calculate the degree and pattern of brain volume loss, which allows the neuroradiologist to assess for different types of neurodementia syndromes. It can also help differentiate recurrent brain tumor vs. radiation change after a patient has had brain surgery. Additionally, it can help identify the seizure focus in patients with epilepsy.
- Thyroid
- UltrasoundUltrasound uses sound waves instead of X-rays to exam breast tissue. A transducer is passed over the breast. The transmitted sound waves are translated into a picture on a monitor. It does not cause discomfort and, because it does not use radiation, it carries very little risk.
- MRIUnder the direction of Drs. John Crues, Charles Ho, John Jurgutis, Ashwin Prabhu, and David Stoller, the RadNet fellowship prepares radiologists with an interest in musculoskeletal MRI for an academic or private practice career. Through the RadNet teleradiology network, fellows will gain experience with diverse cases from studies performed on both high- and low-field MRIs.

- Nuclear MedicineUnder the leadership of Dr. Judith Rose, the research team participates in clinical research trials that capitalize on our PET/CT, and Nuclear Medicine expertise. Our experience in these advanced modalities—combined with our rigorous methodology and our relationship to the communities we serve—makes us a sought-after partner for drug and device manufacturers as well as for contract research organizations (CROs). In collaboration with RadNet, an outpatient imaging provider with a national profile, we are able to conduct research consistently across a broad patient population, while controlling quality and efficiency.
- MammographyEach of RadNet’s mammography departments achieves complete compliance with annual inspections. RadNet centers also maintain quality status with MIPPA State and Federal inspections and periodic surveys (including OSHA, plus URAC, NCQA, and various State Departments of Health Radiation Control Boards). Periodic surveys review equipment, patient and staff environment, imaging reporting accuracy, patient quality of care, and adherence to radiation protection and monitoring of dose levels during diagnostic procedures. Annual on-site surveys measure personnel performance, infection control, forms used for documentation, and certification of technical and professional licensure.
- Computed TomographyPositron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) are state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging tools. A PET/CT scan with a sodium fluoride injection is an imaging test that scans the entire skeletal system and produces images of the bones. These images are used to detect areas of abnormal bone growth associated with tumors that may have spread from different parts of the body.
- ChemotherapyA multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan creates video images that show whether the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart are pumping blood properly. MUGA uses intravenous material (radiotracers) to show how blood moves through the heart. MUGA can be used to check for pre-existing cardiac conditions prior to chemotherapy, or after treatment to assess possible side effects.
- Radiation OncologyMr. Spurlock helped lead U.S. Radiosurgery, LLC, through its acquisition by Alliance HealthCare Services in 2011. As a member of the senior executive team, he led Alliance Healthcare’s transition from publicly traded to international privately-owned in 2017. Previous leadership includes work as the Director of the Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance in Nashville and Executive Director of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles. Mr. Spurlock has served on a number of boards, including the CyberKnife Coalition, the Corporate Advisory Council of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, and the Board of Directors of the American Association of Orthopaedic Executives. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Virginia Tech.
- Interventional RadiologyWe perform more than 7 million outpatient imaging procedures annually—from X-Ray to interventional radiology and everything in between. That’s twice as many procedures as the next two providers, combined.
- Cyst
- LesionsThe Foundation partners with major pharmaceutical companies to bring the newest drugs and agents to patients who wish to participate in clinical trials. The Breastlink network of centers specializing in breast health is an ideal environment for drug companies to test new diagnostic and treatment options, because Breastlink manages a large, diverse patient population. The Foundation has conducted trials in all phases—I, II, III, and IV—and for both drugs and medical devices. We are committed to offering treatment trials for a range of pathologies presented by patients—from defining non-cancerous breast lesions to pre-surgery treatment and the treatment of metastatic disease—based upon our evolving understanding of how tumors behave.
- Sports MedicineAffiliation with Southern California Orthopedic Institute and its Sports Medicine Orthopedic Fellowship including MR/CT review, image guided joint injections and fellow education.
