Radiologists diagnose and treat illnesses using equipment like X-rays, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The expert team at NewYork-Presbyterian provides a full spectrum of diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology services to children and adults.
The Department of Radiology at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia University Irving Medical Center features a specialized PET Center, which provides state-of-the-art positron emission tomography (PET) and PET/CT services; a comprehensive breast imaging center, and an MRI Center which combines cutting-edge MRI research with the most up-to-date diagnostic care.

Services We Provide
We provide a full range of diagnostic tests, including:
- Computed tomography (CT) scans. A CT or CAT scan is a painless, non-invasive x-ray examination used to take a series of detailed pictures that provide a multidimensional look at your body tissues and structure.
- Diagnostic radiology and fluoroscopy. Digital radiography is an x-ray examination with special equipment that creates images using an extremely low dose of radiation.
- Interventional radiology. Interventional radiology is a sub-specialty of radiology that uses minimally-invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat many kinds of conditions.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is a noninvasive and painless procedure in which radio waves and powerful magnets linked to a computer are used to create remarkably clear and detailed pictures of organs and tissues inside the body, without the use of radiation.
- Mammography. A mammogram is a low energy X-ray exam of your breast, used to detect breast problems and changes. Mammography is the most effective screening tool to detect breast cancer, as it can detect changes in your breast that are too small to feel.
- Nuclear Medicine. Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose or treat disorders such as inflammation, tumors, and pain. It is also used to identify abnormalities very early in a disease, sometimes long before many medical problems can be detected using other diagnostic tests. Learn more about nuclear medicine.
- Ultrasound (sonography). Sonography produces pictures of the inside of the body using high-frequency sound waves that bounce off tissues and organs in real time.
