Interventional Radiology
Interventional Radiology is a novel and innovative field available to patients through VIRA, Vascular and Interventional Radiology Associates. At VIRA, our specialists use image guidance and minimally invasive tools to perform procedures that would otherwise require open surgery. Through interventional radiology, patients can undergo an outpatient procedure and leave with a simple bandage instead of an incision.

Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy, available through Central Georgia Radiation Oncology, provides dedicated care to cancer patients. Our oncologists and specialists deliver trusted, ultra-precise radiation therapy to treat many cancer types.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging exposes a part of the body to high-frequency sound waves and uses the wave echoes to form an internal image of the area. Ultrasound exams do not use ionizing radiation like x-rays. It is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat numerous medical conditions. We also offer vascular ultrasounds to observe blood vessels and blood flow.

Molecular Breast Imaging
Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) provides functional images of the breast. This exam differs from mammography and reveals cancerous lesions, even in women with dense breasts or those whose mammograms are difficult to read.
-
MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) produces images of the body’s internal structures by passing radio waves through a powerful magnetic field. The body structures produce differing frequencies of radio waves in return. These are mapped and converted into digital images by a computer. MRI is especially good for imaging soft tissues like organs, nerves, and muscles to better understand the root cause of issues in a particular area.

PET Scan
Positron Emission Tomography, also called PET, is a diagnostic examination where a specific radiotracer is administered to the patient. This substance localizes to different areas of the body, depending on changes in tissue metabolism, and is detected by the PET scanner. The PET scan allows our Radiologists to evaluate cancers and a wide variety of other diseases all throughout the body, including the heart and brain.
