Services

At Parklane Radiology, we offer a comprehensive range of diagnostic imaging services tailored to meet diverse patient needs.

• Mammography:
  We use Tomosynthesis (3D) mammography to produce high-resolution breast images, which are crucial for early detection.
• Breast MRI:
  Our advanced MRI technology delivers detailed images of breast tissue. This service aids in the accurate diagnosis and staging of breast cancer.
• Breast Ultrasound:
  We conduct thorough ultrasound examinations to differentiate between cystic and solid masses. Consequently, precise diagnoses are achieved.
• Biopsy Procedures:
  Our team performs image-guided biopsies, including stereotactic biopsies, to obtain tissue samples for histopathological analysis. This step is vital for confirming diagnoses.
• Cryoablation:
  We offer cryoablation, a minimally invasive procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy small breast tumors. This technique provides an effective alternative to traditional surgery.
• General Imaging:
  Our services also include X-rays, oncology imaging, children’s imaging, and neonatal imaging, ensuring comprehensive diagnostic support.

Our facility features cutting-edge equipment, such as multi-slice CT scanners, advanced MRI machines, and digital imaging systems.
