Imaging Services Overview
Yale Radiology’s imaging services are designed to meet the diverse needs of patients, from routine check-ups to complex diagnostic procedures. The department’s CT scans use advanced technology to produce high-resolution images of internal organs and structures, while MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues. PET scans use small amounts of radioactive material to visualize metabolic activity in the body, helping to diagnose and monitor diseases such as cancer.
In addition to these services, Yale Radiology also offers Ultrasound and X-ray imaging, which use high-frequency sound waves and ionizing radiation, respectively, to produce images of internal structures. The department's Interventional Radiology service provides minimally invasive procedures, such as biopsies and angioplasty, to diagnose and treat a range of conditions.
Specialized Imaging Services
Yale Radiology offers several specialized imaging services, including Cardiovascular Imaging, Neuroimaging, and Pediatric Imaging. These services use advanced technology and techniques to produce high-quality images of specific organs and systems, helping to diagnose and monitor diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. The department’s Molecular Imaging service uses advanced techniques, such as PET/MRI and PET/CT, to visualize molecular activity in the body, helping to diagnose and monitor diseases at the molecular level.
