Specialists in the field of radiology typically have additional experience in performing and interpreting diagnostic studies to diagnose all disease processes of the body using MRI, CT and ultrasound in addition to other techniques. - [Breast Imaging](https://www.boiseradiology.com/staff-categories/breast-imaging/) - Breast imaging is the specialty area that includes all of the diagnostic services that concentrate on the breast tissue. Routine screening mammographic views are usually the first step but additional studies may be required to locate irregularities within the breast and surrounding tissue. We rely on additional mammographic views of the same area in question but may also have to refer to the images of limited ultrasound studies, ultrasound guided needle localizations and cyst aspirations and/or MRI studies. - [Interventional Radiology](https://www.boiseradiology.com/staff-categories/interventional-radiology/) - Interventional radiology combines x-ray imaging and minimally invasive surgical techniques for the purpose of treating a variety of medical disorders without surgery. Interventional radiologists perform a wide variety of procedures including but not limited to angiograms, venous catheter placement, and embolizations. Procedures performed with imaging guidance have lower complication rates and quicken the recovery times. - [Musculoskeletal Imaging](https://www.boiseradiology.com/staff-categories/musculoskeletal-imaging/) - Musculoskeletal imaging is used to help in the diagnosis of arthritis (degenerative or inflammatory), ligament and tendon injury, infection of the bone and joint, as well as evaluation for extremity neoplasm (cancer). Commonly used methods of imaging include x-ray, MRI, CT, and ultrasound. Specialists in this field can perform joint injections/aspirations and also biopsies of masses in the extremity areas. - [Neurological Imaging](https://www.boiseradiology.com/staff-categories/neurological-imaging/) - Neurological imaging generally refers to imaging of the head, neck, and spine. Common diagnoses include stroke, cancer, infection, inflammation, trauma, as well as age related degeneration of the spine. Radiologists in this field commonly use MRI and CT for diagnosis and interventional procedures are also performed for diagnosis and/or treatment including angiography, lumbar puncture, and needle injections. - [Pediatric Imaging](https://www.boiseradiology.com/staff-categories/pediatric-imaging/) - Pediatric radiology is the application of diagnostic radiology to aid in the understanding, diagnosis, therapy, and follow-up of diseases of infants and children. Pediatric radiologists have pursued additional, specialized training in performing and interpreting imaging of children of all ages, utilizing plain film radiology, ultrasound, CT, MRI, fluoroscopy and nuclear medicine. While pediatric radiologists are involved in many of the studies performed on children, other sub-specialists within the Department of Medical Imaging, assist in the care of pediatric patients. - [Physician Assistants](https://www.boiseradiology.com/staff-categories/physician-assistants/) - The Physician Assistants (PA) at Boise Radiology Group are licensed to perform many of the same functions as physicians whereby they diagnose and treat illness and injury as well as perform procedures, assist in surgery, order and interpret test as well as write prescriptions. Additionally, BRG Physician Assistants perform a wide array of interventional procedures using image guidance. These include, but are not limited to, biopsies, venous catheter placement, thoracentesis, paracentesis, lumbar puncture, and dialysis catheter placement. - [Thoracic Imaging](https://www.boiseradiology.com/staff-categories/thoracic-imaging/) - [Nuclear Medicine](https://www.boiseradiology.com/staff-categories/nuclear-medicine/) - Nuclear Medicine, also known as molecular radiology, is a medical specialty that uses radioactive tracers (radiopharmaceuticals) to assess bodily functions and to diagnose and treat disease. Different radiopharmaceuticals go to different tissues within the body depending on presence of dysfunction, injury, or disease. Some radiopharmaceuticals also actively target and treat disease. Specially designed cameras allow doctors to track the path of these radioactive tracers. Planar gamma imaging, Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans are among the most common imaging modalities in nuclear medicine. The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) provides resources to learn more about how this dynamic specialty can help patients with cancer, heart disease, neurological disease, and many other diseases.
