Diagnostic studies
Current research indicates that the quality of endocrine tumor imaging, particularly as regards ultrasound and nuclear medicine studies, is highly operator-dependent.
In addition to standard radiographic techniques, such as computed tomography (CT or CAT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we offer:
Thyroid imaging
- Thyroid ultrasound and lymph node evaluation
- Whole body scanning
- Positron emission tomography (PET) and PET/CT scanning
- Parathyroid ultrasound
- Parathyroid sestamibi and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
- Meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scanning
- Fluorine-18 DOPA PET imaging
Diagnostic procedures
- Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy – more
- Selective adrenal venous sampling
Multimodal therapy for endocrine cancers
- Radioiodine ( 131I) ablation
- Targeted therapy for advanced thyroid cancers, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors
- External beam radiation therapy for locally invasive thyroid cancers
