    Your Oncologist can provide specific details about your specific situation and care plan. Also, consult the Radiation facility for detailed information about your treatment plan and what to expect during your therapy. For stomach cancer, radiation is commonly used to control symptoms. Usually externally as a short course from a day to 2 weeks depending on your specific situation. Radiation will be given over a longer period over 5 weeks when there are concerns about cancer cells being left behind after surgery.

  • How long will a prostate CT scan take?

    Most all Radiology Centers have the same procedures for exams. I recommend you contact the imaging facility for detailed instructions before your appointment. Below are basic patient instructions: 1. Arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time. 2. Nothing to eat or drink anything for 4 hours before your scan appointment. If the facility requires oral preparation to prepare for your scan, they provide or order the solution and instructions. 3. Continue taking medications as usual. Consult your doctor or imaging facility if you have questions. 4. Change into a gown because snaps and zippers can interfere with the scan. 5.

  • Is interventional radiology the same as vascular surgery?

    Interventional radiology is a sub-specialty of radiology utilizing minimally-invasive image-guided procedures. Interventional radiology is used to aid diagnosis and treat patients using the least invasive technique to minimize risk to the patient and improve health outcomes. In comparison to open surgery procedures have the least risk, pain, and recovery time Vascular surgery is indicated when the vascular disease cannot be treated by less invasive or non-surgical treatments. The purpose of vascular surgery is to treat vascular diseases of the arteries and veins. Vascular surgery involves techniques relating to endovascular surgeries such as balloon angioplasty, stenting, aortic and peripheral vascular endovascular stent or graft placement, thrombolysis, and other adjuncts for vascular reconstruction. Speak with your medical provider with any questions or concerns about your medical condition and the appropriate approach. READ MORE

  • Is chest CT scan harmful?

    A chest CT delivers higher radiation than a chest x-ray however CT images allow the radiologist to see the very fine detail of the structures in your body. They provide valuable information about your health and help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis. Imaging centers and hospitals apply the principles of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) every effort is taken to decrease radiation risks. The benefit gained from medical imaging, which can aid in diagnosis is greater than the risk that comes with a CT scan. Speak with your doctor or the radiologist about any concerns or the risks of a procedure. READ MORE

  • Does a CT scan show varicose veins?

    Ultrasound is the standard of care for diagnosing venous problems. If the Provider is concerned with possible pathology in the pelvis or abdomen as an underlying cause for venous issues, they may order a CT venogram. It may be able to help determine the anatomy and level of pathology. CT scans can be ordered for persistent concerns along with Ultrasound to find deep, hidden varicose veins and even the root disorder in lower body circulation behind the symptoms in patients with varicose veins. This is not my area of practice. Most specialists can explain in detail the appropriate exam for your condition. READ MORE

  • Are you awake during radiation therapy?

    Radiation therapy is noninvasive, usually anesthesia is not required. Most require lying down on a table with the required immobilization devices holding the body in the given position. The radiation device moves in various directions around the affected area to pass the radio waves. This is not my field area, but speak with your Oncologist for any available sedatives if you are claustrophobic. The facility for radiation therapy is able to help answer specific questions and provide more information regarding your treatment plan. READ MORE
