  • Management of Thyroid Cancer
  • Minimally-invasive Parathyroidectomy
  • Laparascopic Adrenal Surgery
  • Laparascopic Pancreatectomy

Diagnostic Studies

Current research indicates that the quality of endocrine tumor imaging, particularly as regards to ultrasound and nuclear medicine studies, is highly dependent on who is performing the studies.  Our radiologist have high success rates for endocrine tumor imaging.

In addition to standard radiographic techniques, such as computed tomography 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 imaging

  • Parathyroid ultrasound
  • Parathyroid sestamibi and single photon emission computed tomograph

Adrenal imaging

  • CT scan
  • PET imaging

Diagnostic procedures

  • Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy
  • Selective adrenal venous sampling

Multimodal therapy for endocrine cancers

  • Radioiodine (131I) ablation
  • Selective chemotherapy
  • External beam radiation therapy for locally invasive thyroid cancers
