Radiology Services
At UCI Health, our radiologists use powerful imaging techniques to ensure accurate diagnosis and provide more effective treatments.
Our approach to radiology
We know that learning about a potentially serious illness can feel overwhelming.
That's why we strive to put you at ease and ensure you receive the best care possible through timely and accurate imaging.
How we work together
Radiologists are medical doctors who examine and interpret imaging scans, diagnosing and sometimes treating conditions.
Our approach to care is collaborative across disciplines. This means our radiologists work with many specialists to determine the best treatment for you, including:
- Oncologists
- Medical oncologists
- Radiation oncologists
- Surgeons
- Medical engineers
- Genetic counselors
- Your doctor
We will help your care team understand the status of the condition you have. We will also help surgeons locate surgical sites and guide them through complex procedures.
Women's imaging
We offer 3D mammography to help detect breast cancer sooner. Because early detection increases survival rates, this groundbreaking screening allows your radiologist to examine each layer of breast tissue.
Abdominal imaging
Our experts use high-quality imaging tools to identify diseases of the abdomen and pelvis as early as possible. We also assist with complex procedures such as uterine fibroid treatment, virtual colonoscopies and organ transplant.
We offer four primary types of abdominal imaging:
- CT of abdomen and pelvis
- CT and MR angiography of abdomen and pelvis
- Fluoroscopy of gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems
- MRI of abdomen and pelvis
Interventional radiology
We combine diagnostic imaging with minimally invasive procedures. Interventional radiologists work closely with surgical specialists to treat kidney, lung or other cancers and conditions.
Procedures include:
- Embolization
- Tumor ablation
- Angioplasty
