Diagnostic Imaging

admin — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 18:43:14 +0000

Accurate diagnoses and effective individualized treatment plans often require a combination of comprehensive diagnostic and imaging tests. The Zangmeister Center provides diagnostic imaging so that we can quickly determine the physical characteristics and implications of a patient’s condition. And because everything we need is right here, there’s no need for patients to travel between offices and hospitals for imaging.

The Zangmeister Center has a variety of radiologic technologies available including:

* CT Scans
* PET/CT Scans
* Bone Mineral Density
* X-Ray
* Nuclear Medicine studies, including: Bone Scans, Liver/Spleen Scans, MUGA Scans.

The gynecologic oncologists working at the Zangmeister Center specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the female reproductive organs. Following referral from another treating physician, our practice may provide consultation and management of complex benign gynecologic conditions as well.

We are experienced in the use of surgery, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy as required. In certain cases, our physicians may choose laser treatments, laparoscopy or the DaVinci Robotic system in selecting the most appropriate treatment modality for each patient.
