Body Radiology
The Body Imaging Division at Albany Medical Center specializes in advanced imaging of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary system. Our residents work with fellowship trained radiologists to interpret ultrasound, radiography, CT scans and MRI examinations of the body. We provide advanced imaging of the liver and biliary tree, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands and kidneys. We provide additional specialization in imaging of female pelvic disorders including MRI of pelvic floor disorders. We work closely with our urologic colleagues with MRI of the prostate including MR targeted biopsy. Our body radiologists interpret advanced imaging of the bowel with MR and CT enterorrhaphy, Rectal MRI and CT colonography. Additionally, we offer MRI for evaluation of suspected fetal anomalies as well as MRI evaluation of placental abnormalities during pregnancy read by highly experienced radiologists with many years of experience.
Our body imaging also provides specialized imaging and interpretation of vascular abnormalities utilizing CT angiogram to evaluate the aorta and branch vessels arising from the aorta. This includes CT angiography for suspected aortic dissection, aortic aneurysms and evaluation of aortic endografts for complications. Lastly, we work closely with our plastic surgery colleagues to image abdominal wall vasculature for women undergoing breast reconstruction (DIEP or PAP flaps).
