Gastrointestinal Imaging

Gastrointestinal radiology includes imaging examinations of the throat, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts and pancreas as well as the small and large intestine. These organs are examined by fluoroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.

GI Fluoroscopy exams include:

• Swallowing study
• Esophagram
• Upper GI series (UGI)
• Small bowel series (SBS)
• Enteroclysis
• Barium enema (BE)
• Stomal examinations
• Oral cholecystogram (OCG)

Cross-sectional Imaging includes:

• CT
• MRI
• Ultrasound
• CT Angiography

Special Procedures:

• Image guided biopsy
• Visceral angiography
• Embolization
• Thrombolysis and angioplasty
• Transhepatic cholangiogram (THC or PTC)

Herniography is a special x-ray examination designed to specifically detect hernias of the groin and other hernias of the abdomen which elude diagnosis by physical examination.

Genitourinary Imaging

Uroradiology is the study of the entire urinary tract which includes the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra and reproductive organs. Various imaging modalities are employed depending on the clinical question and anatomic area of interest. Interventional procedures may be necessary to diagnose certain conditions of the urinary tract.

GU Exams and Procedures include:

• Conventional Radiography
• Intravenous pyelography (IVP)
• Cystography
• Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG)
• Retrograde urethrography (RUG)
• CT
• CT Angiography
• CT Urogram
• Ultrasound
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• MR Angiography
• Hysterosalpingogram

Interventional Procedures include:

• Percutaneous nephrostomy
• Renal arteriography, angioplasty and stent placement
