Radiology
Diagnostic imaging is pivotal in the diagnosis of benign and malignant
tumors and in monitoring a patient’s response to treatment. Imaging
is often the most accurate way to find and characterize tumors, and through
imaging guidance, to biopsy tumors for diagnosis. At Marshall, we use
state-of-the-art equipment in radiography, mammography, ultrasonography,
computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine
and positron emission tomography (PET) for imaging. Biopsies of tumors
may be performed using ultrasonography, CT and MRI guidance for precise
targeting and patient safety.
All of our radiologists are certified by the American Board of Radiology.
They work closely with primary and specialty care physicians in giving
timely and accurate imaging interpretations, and arranging and performing
biopsies of tumors. They also help devise the best treatment strategies.
Patients will find dedicated, caring and helpful staff who will expertly
tend to their imaging needs. Our diagnostic imaging services are located
within close proximity to other Marshall clinics in Placerville and Cameron Park.
