Cardiovascular Disease – Am I at risk?
Inland Imaging along with area medical professionals are taking a proactive approach to better aid in offsetting the
deadly effects of cardiovascular disease in the United States. Research has shown early detection can greatly
decrease the risk of heart attack or stroke. Through new imaging and screening procedures, your doctor can prescribe
life saving or life prolonging assistance before a heart attack or stroke occurs.
Traditionally, patients are unaware of possible vascular problems or other indicators associated with heart disease until
a major health problem happens. Inland Imaging has prepared a cardiovascular protocol to educate patients of their
cardiovascular health. Ask you doctor if you are interested in cardiovascular health screening.
Here are general steps that Inland Imaging and your doctor can take to measure your risk:
Step 1: Assess and evaluate your baseline data, family history, and current healthcare information. This includes
cholesterol screening, fasting lipid profile, age and gender. The information gathered will determine if you are at risk
and what potential treatment options are available.
Step 2: Based on initial history, blood analysis, cardiac scoring, and patient symptoms, a cardiac intama medial
thickness (IMT) ultrasound may be ordered to further evaluate your cardiac capacity and health. The arterial fibrous
cap can be analyzed for architecture and stability. The IMT test can potentially ascertain arterial occlusion and the
need for immediate or prophylactic surgical and pharmacologic intervention.
Step 3: An early stage or late stage Cardiac CTA may be ordered based on initial evaluation in order to determine the
presence of soft plaque and your heart stability. Considered by most clinicians as the gold standard for Cardiac
diagnosis, the Cardiac CT provides a 3-D orientation to identify architectural anomalies and soft-plaque presence,
progression, and stability.
Women’s Health
Women at High Risk of Breast Cancer Should Pair their Mammogram with a Breast MRI
Based on new guidelines from the American Cancer Society, it is now suggested that women with a high risk of
developing breast cancer pair their mammograms with an MRI scan. These tests together provide a greater
opportunity for doctors to determine early signs of cancer. Catching these warning signs early can open the way for
more accurate and less invasive treatment options, increasing the chance of patient survival.
The guidelines recommend MRI screening in addition to mammograms for women who meet at least one of the
following conditions:
• they have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation.
• they have a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, child) with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, even if they have yet to be
tested themselves.
• their lifetime risk of breast cancer has been scored at 20% -25% or greater, based on one of several accepted risk
assessment tools that look at family history and other factors.
• they had radiation to the chest between the ages of 10 and 30.
• they have Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Cowden syndrome, or Bannayan-Riley, Ruvalcaba syndrome, or may have one of
these syndromes based on a history in a first-degree relative.
Screening MRI is now recommended for women with a 20-25% or greater lifetime risk of breast cancer. This includes
women with a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer as well as women who were treated
for Hodgkin’s disease. However, there is still conflicting evidence that would suggest MRI screening for women with
dense breasts, a history of LCIS (lobular carcinoma in situ), or personal history of breast cancer.

In addition, a study published by The New England Journal of Medicine reported that women with breast cancer in one
breast may benefit from a contralateral breast MRI. 10% of women diagnosed with breast cancer develop a tumor in
the opposite breast, even though no evidence of abnormalities was found in their initial exam. In the study, 969 women
underwent an MRI scan of the contralateral breast soon after being diagnosed with unilateral breast cancer. The MRI
detected abnormalities in 121 patients, 30 of which that were found to have invasive breast cancer.
As with all diagnostic imaging, breast MRI is not always the most accurate means of evaluating a patient. MRI
screenings can result in more false-positive results than mammography, thus leading to unnecessary biopsies,
increased patient anxiety, and greater risk of adverse health effects. They are about 10 times as expensive as a
standard mammogram and do not have strong data to support MRI as an alternative to mammography. These factors
confirm the need to carefully screen and educate patients and their referring physician before utilizing breast MRI
technology.
For those women that have been categorized as “average-risk” by their doctor and have symptoms, the American
Cancer Society recommends scheduling an annual screening mammogram and breast exam beginning at age 40.
Women with a “high-risk” of developing breast cancer should begin having alternating breast MRIs and mammograms
by age 30, unless otherwise determined by the women’s doctor.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a powerful diagnostic tool that uses magnetic fields, not radiation, to create
images of the body. The best MRI technique involves the use of a special “breast coil” to enhance the magnetic field.
During a breast MRI, the patient lies still on her stomach and is administered a contrast agent via IV as the machine
creates images of the body.
Breast MRI is useful in:
• problem solving associated with those patients that present difficult diagnostic obstacles
• breast implant evaluation
• screening a woman who is at high risk for cancer because of a significant family history of breast cancer or an
abnormal breast cancer gene.
Breast MRI is used in women who are found to have breast cancer cells in an axillary lymph node, but have no known
breast mass that doctors are able to feel or see on a mammogram. In these cases, where mastectomy is typically
recommended, MRI can help find the precise site of the cancer’s origin within the breast. Finding the cancer’s primary
site can expand a woman’s treatment options to include lumpectomy plus radiation and mastectomy.
Inland Imaging is one of few Northwest centers that offer MRI breast exams as well as breast MRI guided biopsies, as
they are not readily available everywhere. Inland Imaging is gaining valuable expertise to read these tests more
reliably. Dr. Florence Gin, a breast-imaging radiologist at Inland Imaging, says “The new guidelines released by the
American Cancer Society and the article published by The New England Journal of Medicine serve as crucial
resources for determining the use of breast MRI. We can now diagnose breast cancer earlier by utilizing both
mammography and breast MRI in high risk patients.”
The American Cancer Society’s new guidelines are based on studies that were published after they last revised its
early detection guidelines from 2002 and 2003. The panel in 2003 concluded there was not sufficient evidence to
recommend MRI scans for high risk women. The result of these studies advised women to talk with their doctor’s
based on their individual case. Now, in 2007, more concise data is available to support MRI as a successful imaging
tool for certain women.

Spine
Our Neuroradiology Team offers the latest and safest techniques specializing in comprehensive screening, diagnosis,
and treatment of spine disease or injury through using the following imaging procedures including Computed
Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Myelography.

A CT uses a special x-ray technique to obtain multiple images from different angles and then joins them together using
advanced computer technology to show 2 dimensional and even 3 dimensional images of the spine.
MRI uses a combination of common radio waves and a magnetic field to obtain remarkably detailed images of the
spine, including the spinal cord. MRI images of the neck and spine are clearer and more detailed than other imaging
methods, enabling the detection of abnormalities that might be obscured by bone on a CT or x-ray.
The purpose of a myelogram is to evaluate the spinal cord and nerve roots for displacement or compression. In most
cases, myelography, is used when other studies have failed to yield enough information to confirm a diagnosis.
Myelogram is excellent in evaluating the presence of arthritic bone spurs, narrowing of the spinal cord, or malformation
of the spine.
Spine imaging procedures can help diagnose and plan treatment options associated with a herniated disc, low back
pain, neck discomfort, piriformis syndrome, radiculopathy, scoliosis, stenosis, infection, tumor detection, and
spondylosis or spondylolisthesis.
Like our radiologists, our highly trained staff and technologists are specially trained in orthopedic and neurological care.
Inland Imaging, along with the care of your family practice doctor and other specialists, can provide advanced medical
resources to better aid in your recovery.
Back Pain
Back pain is the second most common cause of visits to the doctor's office behind cold and flu. Neck and low back pain
can be the result of multiple causes, and often requires the use medical imaging to find exact reason for the discomfort.
Following a physical exam that includes an assessment of sensation, strength, and reflexes, your doctor may order
various diagnostic studies to determine more precisely the nature and extent of a possible disorder. These studies may
include x-ray, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), or myelogram.
X-ray (or radiograph) is a painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Taking
and x-ray involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of radiation to produce pictures of inside the body
according to degree of density. X-raysare the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.
MRI uses a combination of radio waves and a magnetic field to obtain remarkably detailed images of the back or neck,
including the spinal cord. MRI images of the neck and spine are clearer and more detailed than other imaging

cases, myelography, is used when other studies have failed to yield enough information to confirm a diagnosis.
Myelogram is excellent in evaluating the presence of arthritic bone spurs, narrowing of the spinal cord, or malformation
of the spine.
Neurological MRI
The use of MRI provides diagnostic images to better detect abnormalities of the brain, neck and spine soft tissues. MRI
is the most sensitive exam for brain tumors, strokes, and chronic disorders of the nervous system such as multiple
sclerosis. In addition, it is a useful means of discerning brain abnormalities with dementia, and is commonly used for
patients with disease of the pituitary gland and other brain disorders.

MRI is an excellent tool to diagnose bulging, degenerated, or herniated disks – frequent causes for severe lower back
pain.
An MR angiography (MRA) is an MRI that may be ordered to study the blood vessels and aid in the treatment of brain
disorders, stroke, and blood vessel disease. After detection, patients with arterial disease can now even have
treatment in the radiology department rather than undergoing surgery in an operating room.
MRA can be used to screen asymptomatic patients with a family history of arterial aneurysm, a ballooning of a vessel
wall, and if an aneurysm is found, it can often be treated before serious bleeding occurs.
Another application of MRI technology is the use of MR spectroscopy (MRS). This technique generates a
representation of the chemical composition of a region of the brain rather than producing an image. MRS is a special
technique used to characterize the biochemistry of tumors, infarcts, and other pathology. It can be a useful addition to
conventional MRI to distinguish tumors, strokes, and other disease.
An MR venography (MRV) also utilizes MRI technology and is highly accurate in show blood flow in the veins of the
head and neck.
Inland Imaging also offers an open MRI machine specially designed to accommodate patients with special needs
including individuals that suffer from severe claustrophobia or are too large or fragile for a conventional MRI machine.
The “open” design allows for free movement around the patient and is not enclosed. Generally, an open MRI exam
takes longer and does not produce the same resolution image of a standard MRI.
Stroke
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to a certain area of the brain is disrupted. When certain parts of the brain are
denied blood flow, body function, thought processes, and communication can be affected. Stroke is the third leading
cause of death in the United States and is the leading cause of disability. Reducing the risk of vascular disease can
greatly decrease the likelihood of a stroke.
There are two primary types of stoke, ischemic and hemorrhagic. An Ischemic stroke is the result of a blood clot or
thrombus obstructing the vessel and causing lack of blood to a region of brain tissue. This tissue begins to degenerate
without the necessary blood supply. A Hemorrhagic stroke is caused by bleeding into the brain by a breakage in a
blood vessel. This produces too much blood for the brain tissue, leading to cellular damage.
Inland Imaging Neuroradiologists have several imaging tests and their discretion to either detect the risk of a stroke or
examine and provide treatment options the post-stroke symptoms. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed
Tomography (CT), and Vascular Ultrasound are great imaging tools to better diagnose problems associated with
stroke.

Inland Imaging has the unique advantage of offering a CTA or Computed Tomography Angiography to visualize blood
flow in arteries and veins throughout the body. This exam is used to screen patients for arterial disease and identify
aneurysms or vascular malformations. CT angiography is increasingly employed in the evaluation of patients with
acute stroke and produce even more detailed images than MRA.
CT perfusion is a technique that evaluates blood flow to the brain and allows neuroradiologists to detect portions of the
brain with impaired blood flow. The CT perfusion test is most often used in providing critical information on acute stroke
patients.
A vascular ultrasound may be ordered to examine blood vessel health or evaluate the presence of arterial plaque. This
painless test does not submit the patient to radiation, but rather uses sound waves to generate an image of vascular
structures and evaluate risk for vascular disease.
In some cases, an interventional radiology procedure may be needed to treat a variety of disorders associated with
stroke without surgery. Through the use of x-raysor other imaging techniques, interventional radiologists are able to
open arteries when narrowed or occluded.
Headaches
Inland Imaging is able to offer imaging techniques to help diagnose and treat patients suffering from recurrent and
painful headaches. Cluster headaches, migraines, and rebound headaches are the most common diagnoses for
patients suffering from repeat headaches and are generally symptomatically diagnosed by your family caregiver.
However, in extreme cases, diagnostic medical imaging may be needed to look for more severe causes of a headache.
A neuroradiologist may use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), and Positron Emission
Tomography/CT (PET/CT) to aid diagnosing or ruling out a hematoma, brain aneurysms, meningioma (brain tumor), or
brain trauma.
CT perfusion is a technique that evaluates blood flow to the brain and allows neuroradiologists to detect portions of the
brain with impaired blood flow.

A Positron Emission Tomography/CT test provides anatomical detail, such as size or location of a mass, and metabolic
detail, such as cellular activity of a mass. Inland Imaging’s PET/CT scanner is one of the most powerful imaging tools
available for localizing, evaluating and therapeutic monitoring of head and neck cancer.
Dementia
Dementia is a progressive brain dysfunction that results in limitations with daily activities and increases with advancing
age. Alzheimer’s patients commonly suffer from dementia and require long term care to help aid with impaired
memory and orientation dysfunctions such as concentration, proper judgment, personality changes, and impaired
motor skills.
In order to better diagnose and treat dementia, your primary care physician may order brain imaging tests such as
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), and Positron Emission Tomography/CT (PET/CT)

Alzheimer’s
More than 5 million American’s have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, a disease affects brain function. Alzheimer’s
patients commonly suffer from dementia and require long term care to help aid with impaired memory and orientation
dysfunctions such as concentration, proper judgment, personality changes, and impaired motor skills.
Though there is not a cure for Alzheimer’s, treatment for symptoms combined with the professional support can make
a patient live a more comfortable and productive life.
In order to better diagnose and treat Alzheimer’s, your primary care physician may order brain imaging tests such as
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), and Positron Emission Tomography/CT (PET/CT)
MRI uses a combination of common radio waves and a magnetic field to obtain digital images of the head or brain. MRI
images are clearer and more detailed than other imaging methods, enabling the detection of abnormalities that might
be obscured by bone on a CT or x-ray.
A CT uses a special x-ray to obtain multiple images from different angles and then joins them together using advanced
computer technology to show a cross section of the brain.

metabolic detail, such as cellular activity of a mass. Inland Imaging’s PET/CT scanner is one of the most powerful
imaging tools available for localizing, evaluating and therapeutic monitoring of head and neck cancer.
Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis is a result of inflammation of the white matter of the central nervous system. Over time, destruction
of myelin or the fatty covering that insulates nerve cell fibers in the brain and spinal cord begins to hamper the
transmission of electrochemical messages between the brain, spinal cord, and rest of the body.
When the myelin becomes damaged, neurological transmission of messages may be slowed or blocked completely,
leading to diminished or lost function. The name "multiple sclerosis" signifies both the number (multiple) and condition
(sclerosis, meaning scarring or hardening) of the demyelinated areas in the central nervous system.

To monitor or diagnose Multiple Sclerosis, your healthcare provider may order a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
test to help distinguish new plaques from old and help locate central nervous system lesions. Magnetic Resonance
Spectroscopy (MRS) is a now used to investigate MS. Unlike MRI, which provides an anatomical picture of lesions,
MRS yields information about the biochemistry of the brain in MS.
MRI uses a combination of common radio waves and a magnetic field to obtain digital images of the head or brain. MRI
images are clearer and more detailed than other imaging methods, enabling the detection of abnormalities that might
be obscured by bone on a CT or x-ray.
MR spectroscopy (MRS) is an application of MRI technology that generates a plot representing the chemical
composition of a region of the brain rather than generating a picture.
Women’s Health
At Inland Imaging, we are dedicated to women’s health and offer the most advanced diagnostic imaging procedures
available. Highly trained medical professionals and board-certified radiologists deliver outstanding care in a
comfortable and compassionate environment.
We work closely with our patients and their health care providers to provide timely and accurate results.
Breast Imaging
Reproductive Imaging
Osteoporosis
Breast Imaging
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women today. It is estimated that one in seven women in
the U.S. will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Yet research shows the 5-year relative survival rate for those who
detect their breast cancer early is 82 percent.
Inland Imaging provides you and your physician with state-of-the-art technology and advanced medical expertise to
gain important information about your breast health. The breast imaging procedures offered include screening and
diagnostic mammography, breast ultrasound, breast biopsies, breast MRI, and PET/CT.
Mammography services at Inland Imaging are accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and certified by
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Inland Imaging’s radiologists who read breast-imaging studies are board-
certified physicians who specialize in diagnostic breast imaging. Our mammography technologists are dedicated
mammography professionals who perform over 45,000 exams annually.
A screening mammogram is an examination used for women who have no symptoms of breast problems and is
performed in private by a qualified female technologist. The results of your examination are read and interpreted by a
specialized radiologist. The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends a yearly screening mammogram for all
women age 40 years and older.
A screening mammogram procedure does not require a referral from your doctor. If you would like to schedule a
screening mammogram for yourself or receive additional information, please call 455-4455.
Computer aided detection (CAD) technology reviews a patient’s film and evaluates it after the radiologist has made an
initial interpretation. Studies show that CAD analysis improves the detection of early cancer by as much as eight to ten
percent. If the software detects any abnormalities on the mammogram film, it marks them. The radiologist then reviews
the marked areas to determine if the areas are suspicious and require further evaluation.
A diagnostic mammogram is a problem-solving exam that may involve additional views of the breast and is ordered
after an abnormality or symptom is found in an initial screening. The technologist who performs the exam works closely
with a radiologist to determine the best images needed to aid in the breast evaluation. This work up will determine if

further imaging is needed, such as a breast ultrasound or breast MRI.
Breast ultrasound is a noninvasive exam that uses sonar technology to determine if a suspicious area is a fluid filled
cyst or a solid mass that require further testing, such as a biopsy.
A breast biopsy is a tissue sampling technique used to confirm or rule out the presence of breast cancer. Breast
biopsies can be surgical or non-surgical; Inland Imaging specializes in non-surgical breast biopsies. Utilizing these
methods benefits patients by decreasing recovery time and reducing scarring compared with surgical excisional
biopsy. Inland Imaging utilizes two primary non-surgical methods to obtain samples: ultrasound-guided core-needle
breast biopsy and stereotactic breast biopsy.
Ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy is commonly used to evaluate suspicious masses within the breast, whether or
not they can be felt during a clinical examination. An ultrasound probe is placed over the site and a radiologist guides
a biopsy needle directly into the mass. Local anesthesia is used during this procedure as well as during stereotactic
breast biopsy.
Stereotactic biopsy uses a dedicated biopsy table combined with digital mammography to determine the exact biopsy
location. Tissue samples are then extracted using a vacuum assisted biopsy instrument called the Mammotome™.
Patients have minimal discomfort during and after the procedure and can usually resume normal activity the following
day.
Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent problem solving technology. It is often used to investigate
breast concerns first detected with mammography, physical exam, or other imaging exams. Breast MRI has been
approved by the FDAsince 1991 for use as a supplement to mammography to help diagnose breast cancer. Unlike
mammography, which uses low dose x-raysto image the breast, MRI uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves
to create images of the breast.
Patients undergoing a breast MRI exam lie face down on the MRI table that is specially configured so that the breasts
are positioned to hang freely through two openings called breast coils. After images have been acquired and assessed
with CAD, a radiologist reads and interprets the images.
Biopsies may also be performed using breast MRI. MRI-guided breast biopsy is a fast, safe and easy way to find and
biopsy breast abnormalities without any unnecessary surgery.
Positron emission tomography (PET), combined with computed tomography (CT), is a nuclear medicine imaging
technique that uses very short-lived radioactive compounds that localize in cancer cells. Typically a patient will undergo
other imaging exams first before receiving a PET/CT scan. In relation to breast cancer, PET/CT is used solely in the
initial staging or re-staging of cancer, and in evaluating its response to treatment.
Reproductive Imaging
Reproductive imaging has become an essential tool in monitoring pregnancy and fetal health and providing insight into
fertility problems.
Limited pelvic MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses no x-raysor radiation. It produces detailed images
that are often used to evaluate the benefits of surgical interventions. Symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain and
dysfunctional uterine bleeding are often studied using this exam. Limited pelvic MRI can help to identify the source of
these symptoms and their relationship to pregnancy complications.
In women who are pregnant, ultrasound continues to be the preferred imaging method. Inland Imaging technologists
who perform this examination are trained professionals who focus on the internal structures of both the mother and the
baby. Through the use of ultrasound, physicians can confirm early pregnancy; evaluate the baby’s age, size, and
overall health.
The most common cause of hysterectomy surgery is uterine fibroid tumors. Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) is a
less-invasive, nonsurgical option that is giving many women new hope for keeping their uterus.

During UAE, an interventional radiologist uses a catheter to deliver a special material that blocks the blood supply to
the fibroids. Your physician may advise you of this minimally invasive therapy, or suggest surgical interventions, such
as hysterectomy. It is important that you discuss each option with your physician to see what is the best treatment for
you.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become more porous, gradually making them brittle and more
susceptible to breaking. Eighty percent of those affected by osteoporosis are women. If bone densitometry is
conducted at intervals of a year or more, it can be used to determine the rate of bone loss and/or monitor the effects of
treatment.
Bone densitometry is a safe, painless and accurate way to measure the density of bones. This testing can help your
physician in making treatment decisions related to your bone status and fracture risk. This makes bone densitometry
an excellent screening exam for osteoporosis.
Body Injury and Orthopedics
Inland Imaging provides a large set of imaging procedures to better evaluate the cause of pain or presence of body
injury. Diagnostic imaging plays a very important role in providing you and your physician with information you will need
to make key decisions about your health.
We continually invest in the latest musculoskeletal and body imaging technology to provide patients with advanced and
accurate medical resources.
Orthopedics is the study of the musculoskeletal system that includes the skeleton, joints, muscles and other supporting
structures such as ligaments and cartilage. Inland Imaging provides valuable diagnostic medical images for the
prevention and repair of body injuries or disorders.
Athletic Pain & Injury
Body Injury
Athletic Pain & Injury
The likelihood of body injury or pain can increase with repetetive activity, athletic competition, or exercise. With an
injury such as a visible dislocation or a broken bone, it's likely to be obvious that you need medical attention. However,
other injuries may be less clear and will require more investigation to evaluate and confirm a diagnosis. In both cases,
medical imaging can be a powerful tool for you and your healthcare provider to determine treatment options.
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test may be ordered to help diagnose and develop treatment options for
orthopedic disorders. Even after a thorough physical examination by an expert, it is often difficult to precisely diagnose
a soft tissue or joint injury. MRI accurately depicts soft tissue injuries such as muscle, ligament and meniscal tears, as
well as cartilage and bone injuries.
Images from an MRI allow your physician to formulate a possible treatment plan. In many cases, MRI documents non-
surgical injuries, such as rotator cuff tendonitis and bone bruises, sparing the patient surgery and ensuring you receive
the appropriate treatment faster and more cost effectively. MRI also detects subtle bone marrow edema and
architectural disturbances of the soft tissues, making it the modality of choice in the diagnosis of many other joint and
bone disorders, such as bone and soft tissue tumors, infection, and avascular necrosis of bone.
Another test, Computed Tomography (CT) is very useful in the diagnosis and follow up of many musculoskeletal
disorders, particularly those pertaining to bone, such as fractures that cannot be seen on x-ray, healing fractures and
bone tumors. Recent developments in multi slice computed tomography (MSCT) allow reconstruction of images in
multiple planes as well as 3D imaging.

An X-ray is perhaps the most familiar type of musculoskeletal imaging test. Its most common use is in evaluating
possible fractures and is also used for evaluation of arthritis or bone tumors.
Nuclear imaging is often used to determine musculoskeletal pain with non-specific x-ray images to determine whether
or not a bony abnormality is the source of pain. Also, this study is used often to diagnose the spread of cancer.
Ultrasound is useful in evaluating soft tissue abnormalities, such as masses, tendon or muscle injuries, and the hips of
infants suspected of having congenital hip dysplasia. It is most commonly used in the evaluation of rotator cuff injuries.
Ultrasound images are obtained using a wand that is guided across the skin surface over the affected area.
There are also a variety of needle procedures performed by radiologists to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal
disorders. These include therapeutic as well as diagnostic joint aspirations and injections, bone and soft tissue
biopsies, facet and epidural steroid injections and discograms.

Cancer
Nearly half of all men and a little over one-third of all women in the United States will develop cancer during their
lifetimes. Today, millions of people are living with cancer or have had cancer. However, research shows the sooner a

cancer is found and treatment begins, the better the chances are for recovery.
Imaging techniques are able to produce pictures of areas inside the body and are becoming the key to early detection.
However, physicians no longer use imaging simply for detection. It can also show what is happening inside the body
during and after cancer treatment. Essentially, it not only can determine the primary location of cancer, but also if the
cancer has spread to surrounding areas. This aids in directing surgery and other cancer treatments, as well as
evaluating tumor recurrence.
At Inland Imaging, there are several different imaging technologies available to cancer patients. Each modality is
designed to acquire specific information. Often an oncologist will utilize several of these technologies to get the best
overall picture of a patient’s health.

Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer develops in the small walnut-shaped gland that produces seminal fluid in males. It is one of the most
common types of cancer in men, affecting about one in six men in the United States. Prostate cancer tends to grow
slowly and remains confined to the prostate gland where there may not be initial harm. Some types of prostate cancer
grow slowly and may need minimal or no treatment, while other types are aggressive and can spread quickly. If
detected early, successful treatment of prostate cancer greatly improves.
If symptoms arise or your prostate cancer screening tests come back positive, your doctor may order an imaging test
to better evaluate for the most accurate means of treatment. You may also need further tests to help determine if the
cancer has spread. Many men don't require additional studies and can directly proceed with treatment based on the
characteristics of their tumors and the results of their pre-biopsy PSA tests.
A bone scan may be ordered to take a picture of your skeleton in order to determine whether cancer has spread to the
bone. Prostate cancer can spread to any bones in your body, not just those closest to your prostate, such as your
pelvis or lower spine.
An Ultrasound study not only can help indicate if cancer is present, but also may reveal whether the disease has
spread to nearby tissues.

A Computed Tomography (CT) scan produces a series of detailed cross-sectional images of your body and can
identify enlarged lymph nodes or abnormalities in other organs. However, a CT scan cannot determine whether the
visible problems are due to cancer. Therefore, CT scans are most useful when combined with other tests.
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test produces detailed, cross-sectional images of your body using magnets and
radio waves. An MRI can help detect evidence of the possible spread of cancer to lymph nodes and bones.
Inland Imaging Interventional Radiologists provide amazing new medical technologies to treat lever cancer such as
radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation. In either procedure, several needle probes are inserted directly through the
skin into a tumor, using a series of real-time computed tomography (CT) images to guide the probe. Magnetic
resonance imaging and ultrasound sometimes are used instead of CT scans to view the procedure.
Once the probe is positioned in the center of the tumor, the radiologist applies electrical heat in the form of radio waves
to “vaporize” the tumor or applies cold energy to kill the abnormal tissue.
Liver Cancer
In the United States, cancer affecting the liver is often times metastatic cancer, which occurs when tumors from other
parts of the body spread (metastasize) to the liver. Cancers that commonly spread to the liver include colon, lung and
breast cancers. These kinds of cancers are treated based on where the cancer began, rather than being treated as
primary liver cancers.
Primary liver cancer is rarely discovered early and many times doesn't respond to current treatments. Though
treatments fail to provide great improvement in the liver cancer itself, pain and other signs and symptoms caused by
liver cancer can be aggressively treated to improve quality of life.
If you present liver cancer symptoms, your doctor will perform several screening tests and may order additional
imaging tests and procedures to better evaluate your diagnoses or treatment options. Interventional Radiologists are
on staff to provide groundbreaking treatment options for individuals with lung cancer.
An Ultrasound may be ordered to produce a picture of internal organs, including the liver. During the test, sound waves
that are reflected from your liver and transformed into a computer image. Ultrasound provides information about the
shape, texture and makeup of tumors.
A Computerized Tomography (CT) scan uses X-rays to produce detailed a series of thin cross-sectional images of your
body. Your doctor may also order a variation of the test, called a CT angiogram, where contrast dye is injected into a
vein in your arm. CT uses X-ray technology to track the dye as it flows through the blood vessels in your liver. A CT
angiogram can provide detailed information on the number and location of liver tumors.
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) creates images using a magnetic field and radio waves. The test can show
images of the ducts that transport bile from the liver to the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum) as well as of
the arteries and veins within the liver.
Yttrium-90 microsphere administration, where microscopic radioactive beads are injected to specially target cancer
within the liver.
Other interventional procedures include radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation. In either procedure, several needle
probes are inserted directly through the skin into a tumor, using a series of real-time computed tomography (CT)
images to guide the probe. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound sometimes are used instead of CT scans to
view the procedure.

Head and Neck Cancer
Cancer that arises in the head or neck region includes the brain, nasal cavity, sinuses, lips, mouth, salivary glands,
throat, or larynx (voice box).
If symptoms are present or cancer tests come back positive, your doctor may order further imaging tests to better
evaluate the most accurate means of treatment. You may also need further tests to help determine if or how far the
cancer has spread.
A Computerized Tomography (CT) scan may be ordered to produce a series of detailed images of your head or area of
concern. A special contrast may be injected into your bloodstream after a few CT scans are taken. The contrast helps
make tumors more visible on X-rays.
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan uses magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images of the head.
Images produced by an MRI are particularly useful in diagnosing brain tumors. Sometimes a special contrast is
injected into your bloodstream during the procedure to help distinguish cancerous areas from healthy tissue.
An Angiogram test involves injecting a special dye into your bloodstream. The dye flows through the blood vessels in
your brain and can be seen on an X-ray. This test helps show the location of blood vessels in and around a brain
tumor.
An X-ray of your head may show alterations in skull bones that could indicate a tumor. It may show calcium deposits,
which are sometimes associated with brain tumors. However, a routine X-ray is a far less sensitive test than are brain
scans.
Other tests include magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), single-photon emission computerized tomography
(SPECT) or positron emission tomography (PET) scanning, help doctors gauge brain activity by studying brain
metabolism and chemistry and blood flow within your brain. These scans can be combined with an MRI or CT to help
doctors understand the effects of a tumor on brain activity and function, but doctors don't typically use them to make an
initial diagnosis of brain tumor.
Ultrasound imaging technique uses no radiation, but combines high-frequency sound waves and computer processing.
Ultrasound is especially good for providing information about the shape, texture and makeup of tumors and cysts.
While you relax on a bed or examining table, a wand-like device (transducer) is placed next to your head. It emits
inaudible sound waves that are reflected back to the transducer (similar to sonar). Those reflected sound waves are
then translated into a moving image by a computer.
Abdomen
Abdominal or Gastrointestinal cancers include colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and stomach (gastric) cancer. If
symptoms are present, your doctor may order specific blood tests or a colonoscopy to better diagnose colon or
abdominal cancers. Several additional imaging techniques can help your doctor detect the exact location of cancer,
determine if cancer has spread, or evaluate possible treatment options.
A fluoroscopy x-ray may be ordered to image the gastrointestinal or digestive system. The x-ray tests examine the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the areas of the body from the esophagus to the rectum. These x-raysare able to detect
cancers or abnormalities that occur in any portion of the GI tract.
Fluoroscopy is used to better contrast the outline of the GI tract, with areas of concern appearing white on the x-ray
images. It helps to visualize problem areas and can indicate difficulties with swallowing (dysphagia) or digestion,
ulcerations, malignancy or structural abnormalities.
A newer procedure that might be an option for detecting presence of colon cancer is virtual colonoscopy. The test uses
Computed Tomography technology to scan to take pictures of the colon. The CT scan creates cross-sectional and 3-D
images than can reveal polyps or other irregularities.

An endoscopic ultrasound may help determine whether cancer has spread into the walls of your stomach or to nearby
tissues and lymph nodes. An endoscope carries a small ultrasound probe that uses high-frequency sound waves to
create images of your stomach and surrounding tissues, including lymph nodes.
Your doctor may order a Computerized Tomography (CT) scan to evaluate the spread of cancer outside your stomach,
especially to organs such as your liver and lungs. A CT scan uses split-second computer processing and X-ray beams
to produce detailed cross-sectional images of your internal organs.
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) also looks for the spread of cancer to areas outside of your stomach. Unlike a
CT scan, MRI uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to produce cross-sectional images of your body.
Another test is a Chest X-ray that checks whether cancer has spread to your lungs. An X-ray is not as sensitive as a
CT scan.
Lung
In the United States, lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer death among men and women. Lung cancer
generally starts to develop in the cells that line your lungs and may spread if not treated early. Nearly 90 percent of
lung cancer cases are directly related to smoking, whether it is in smokers or those exposed to secondhand smoke.
There are two major types of lung cancer based on the appearance of lung cancer cells, small cell lung cancer and
non-small lung cancer. Inland Imaging offers several imaging tests to better assist your physician in deciding what
treatment plan will help you most. Interventional Radiologists are also on staff to provide groundbreaking treatment
options for individuals with lung cancer.
Your healthcare provider may order a chest x-ray of your lungs to look for an abnormal mass or nodule based on
symptoms associated with lung cancer.
A Computed Tomography (CT) scan produces a series of detailed cross-sectional images of your body and can
identify small lesions in your lungs.
other imaging exams first before receiving a PET/CT scan.
radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation. In either procedure, several needle probes are inserted directly through the
skin into a tumor, using a series of real-time computed tomography (CT) images to guide the probe. Magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound sometimes are used instead of CT scans to view the procedure.
Pelvic
Pelvic cancers can b e characterized as bladder, uterine, ovarian and prostate cancer. It is generally referenced as any
cancer that appears in the large, bony, basin-shaped cavity where the hips and legs join to the lower part of the body.
With many cancers, survival of the disease increases when found early. However, in many cases the disease can be
difficult to detect in its early stage because of its location and unfortunately the disease has spread before it is
diagnosed.
Inland Imaging offers a wide variety of imaging techniques to evaluate the presence of cancer or assist your doctor in
formulating a treatment plan if you have been diagnosed with the disease.

Your healthcare provider may order a pelvic ultrasound, a test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce
images of the inside the body. The test is a safe, noninvasive way to evaluate the size, shape and configuration of the
pelvic area. It can also detect fluid build up associated with some forms of pelvic cancer.
Other imaging tests offered by Inland Imaging for pelvic evaluation include computerized tomography (CT) and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which both provide detailed, cross-sectional images of the inside of your body. A
chest X-ray may help determine if cancer has spread to other parts of your body.
Thyroid
Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck, just below your Adam's apple. Though the
thyroid gland is small, it produces important hormones that regulate every aspect of your metabolism, from heart rate
to calorie burning.
Development of one or more solid or fluid-filled lumps called nodules may form in your thyroid. In many cases, these
are noncancerous and do not cause any major health risks. However, a small percentage of cases come back as
cancerous and can result with serious complications.
Prognosis is often excellent for those that are diagnosed with thyroid cancer and can often be completely removed with
surgery.
An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to outline the neck anatomy and detect abnormal growths. While very
good at identifying whether a growth or nodule is present, ultrasound scans can't tell for sure whether it's malignant or
benign. Ultrasound is safe, with virtually no complications associated with its use.
A computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test may be ordered by your doctor to
determine if cancer is present or evaluate if it has spread to the lymph nodes or other areas of your neck.
Cardiovascular
58 million Americans have been diagnosed with one or more forms of cardiovascular disease, making coronary artery
disease (CAD) the number one cause of death in the United States. More Americans die each year of heart disease
than all types of cancer combined.
Coronary artery disease is most commonly a result of plaque deposits in the wall of the coronary arteries. The “waxy”
build up causes a narrowing of the arteries and can eventually lead to heart attack or stroke. Until recently, there were
no non-invasive studies that could directly evaluate coronary arteries for the presence of atherosclerotic disease.
Inland Imaging is taking the necessary steps to help your healthcare provider eradicate heart disease and reverse the
deadly treads associated with it. We offer several tests that can better help your doctor measure your cardiovascular
health and begin treatment if there is presence of heart disease.
Cardiac CTA
Calcium Scoring
Coronary PET/CT
MRA
Cardiac MRI
Vascular Ultrasound
Cardiac CTA
Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) is a powerful tool used to examine the small arteries that feed nutrients to the heart
muscle. Through Computed Tomography (CT) technology, we are able to visualize blood flow in the coronary arteries
with greater detail than more traditional studies.

Advanced computer software manipulates the data into 3 dimensional (3D) images with exceptional quality. CCTA is a
noninvasive procedure to examine the walls of the coronary arteries and evaluate the presence of hard and soft
plaque. Information from the procedure can help your healthcare provider determine your risk of a heart attack and
develop a treatment plan.
If coronary disease is present following a cardiovascular screening test done by your doctor, a Coronary CT Angiogram
may be ordered to help with preventive management and treatment of the disease. Those recommended for the exam
include:
- Patients with an intermediate to high-risk profile with no typical coronary symptoms
- Patients who have had inconclusive results from a stress test
- Patients with unusual symptoms for CAD, but low to intermediate risk profiles.
Prior to a CCTA, avoid drinking or eating anything four hours before your exam. Do not consume anything containing
caffeine or nicotine starting at midnight on the day of exam. Three hours proceeding, you will be given or prescribed
100 mg of a medication in order to lower your heart rate. You will also take one 0.4 mg tablet of sublingual nitroglycerin
just prior to the exam and 80-120 cc of IV contrast. Following the CT exam, you should expect to wait an additional 15-
30 minutes for observation.
The images from the test will be sent to a subspecialized coronary radiologist for review. Your physician will receive the
results and determine appropriate treatment options for reducing the signs of heart disease. This may include diet and
lifestyle changes, medication and/or further testing.
Calcium Scoring
A Calcium Scoring exam is a screening tool to evaluate coronary artery disease. The test quantifies the total load of
calcified, or hardened plaque, in the coronary arteries. Results of the exam are based on the volume and density of
calcified plaque and then comparing that score to a large reference population matched to a patient's age and sex.
The exam can be used as a valuable tool in conjunction with other clinical risk factors such as family history,
cholesterol level, and lipid profile. Results from the test can help your healthcare provider determine a treatment plane
for reversing coronary artery disease.
A Calcium Scoring Exam is a strong problem-solving tool for individuals considered to be at high risk for developing
heart disease. The risk factors for heart disease include:
- Men 40 yearsor older, women 45 or older
- High cholesterol
- History of smoking
- High blood pressure
- Family history of heart disease
- High stress levels
- Sedentary lifestyle
If any categories apply to you, we encourage talking with your doctor about considering a Calcium Scoring exam.
Individuals not recommended for the procedure include those that have had previous cardiovascular treatment or
surgery, including coronary stinting, coronary bypass surgery, pacemaker placement, or valve replacement.
The scan itself generally takes ten minutes and does not involve any injections or medications. Lying down on a table
fully dressed, a trained staff technologist will place EKG leads on your chest. You will be asked to hold your breath for
a brief period to better capture still pictures. A cardiovascular specialized radiologist from Inland Imaging will read the
scan and send the results to your physician.
Coronary PET/CT
An efficient and noninvasive test, PET/CT serves as a powerful tool for evaluating the coronary anatomy and tissue

viability. PET/CT is a form of molecular imaging that has the ability to visualize and monitor processes on a cell level,
providing information about possible defects or pathology transformation.
PET/CT requires an ingestion or injection of a radioactive isotope that releases positrons at the cellular level. These
collide with electrons creating a light pattern that can be scanned. The combination of PET and CT technology uses
two ‘machines’ on a single scanner, allowing the clinician to see images at the metabolic level and uncover physical
problems or anatomical abnormalities.
MRA
A Magnetic Resonance Angiogram of the cardiovascular system is a minimally invasive medical test that uses MRI
technology and in some cases contrast material to produce pictures of major blood vessels throughout the body. The
test uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer produce the detailed images.
A computer processes the radio wave signals and generates a series of detailed images. The computer compiles the
images into three-dimensional representations of the body that can be studied from many different angles on a
computer monitor.
During the MRA study, contrast material may be administered to generate clearly defined images of blood flow
throughout specific areas of the vascular system.
Cardiac MRI
A Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test is a noninvasive, painless medical procedure that helps physicians
diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions.
MRI uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed images of the heart and vascular
system. A Cardiac MRI may be ordered by your healthcare provider to evaluate the structures and function of the
heart, valves and major vessels or detect and evaluate coronary artery disease.
Cardiac MRI allows radiologists and your doctor examine the size and thickness of the chambers of the heart. And
determine the extent of damage caused by a heart attack or progressive heart disease. It may also be used to detect
the buildup of plaque and blockages in the blood vessels.
Detailed Cardiac MRI images may allow physicians to better evaluate your cardiovascular health more adequately than
other imaging methods such as x-ray, ultrasound or computed tomography (CT).
Vascular Ultrasound
Vascular Ultrasound, also known as vascular sonography, involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to produce
images of the vascular system. Ultrasound images are captured in real-time and are able to visualize internal
structures, movement, and blood flow.
During an ultrasound examination, a transducer is pressed against the skin and directs a stream of inaudible, high
frequency sound waves into the body. As the sound waves bounce off of internal organs, fluids and tissues, images
are produced through tiny changes in the sound's pitch and direction.
Vascular Ultrasound is a useful tool for evaluating the body's circulatory system, identifying blockages (stenosis), blood
clots, plaque or emboli. The test can also help determine whether a patient is a good candidate for angioplasty.
Doppler ultrasound, a special application of ultrasound, measures the direction and speed of blood cells as they move
through vessels. Computer technology collects and processes the sounds, creating graphs or pictures that represent
the blood flow. It is good test to evaluate blood flow through a blood vessel, including the body's major arteries and
veins in the abdomen, arms, legs and neck.
