Our Approach

At Providence Medical Group Santa Rosa - Radiology & Imaging Services, we offer quality diagnostic imaging for patients of all ages, in all stages and variations of health and disease. These tests allow radiologists and doctors to make comprehensive evaluations, and diagnose, plan and monitor treatments. We also work to reduce and monitor radiation doses for all patients, and are accredited for our radiology services.

Medical Imaging is one of the most important tools the doctor has for diagnosing and treating your medical condition. Providence Medical Group’s radiologists and technicians use medical imaging techniques such as CT scans, MRI, X-rays, echocardiograms and ultrasound to help develop your treatment plan for serious illness and diseases.

There are two types of radiology - diagnostic and interventional radiology:

• Diagnostic radiology is used to diagnose the cause of your symptoms, monitor how your body is responding to treatments and screen for illnesses such as breast and colon cancer or heart disease.
• Interventional radiology uses imaging such as CT, ultrasound, MRI and fluoroscopy to help guide procedures. This is often used when inserting catheters, wires, and other small instruments and tools into your body.
