Radiologists
at Loyola University Health System (Loyola) are recognized
nationally and internationally for their clinical excellence,
innovative diagnostic and therapeutic methods, and for
using latest technology. The group offers a full spectrum
of imaging services ranging from the simplest radiographs
and ultrasound images to the most complicated and high-tech
computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) and nuclear medicine. Electronic images are available
instantly to physicians through an electronic medical
record system for efficient consultation. Our radiologists
perform the latest interventional techniques in the
central nervous system, vascular system, abdomen, breast
and musculoskeletal system.
Specialty
Services
Oakbrook
Terrace Imaging Center
An open MRI, CT scanner and computed radiography are
offered at this convenient office in the western suburbs.
3D
Imaging Lab
The lab constructs three dimensional models from CT
and MR images.
Neurointerventional
Angiography
The department offers high-tech, minimally invasive
treatment for neurological problems - such as brain
aneurysms, blood clots and tumors - that can prevent
the need for surgery.
Positron
Emission Tomography
Loyola offers one of the world’s most sophisticated
PET scanners for detecting cancer, heart disease and
neurological problems.
Interventional
Radiology
Using imaging technology and very small instruments,
radiologists treat a variety of disorders without surgery,
such as balloon angioplasty to open blocked blood vessels,
embolization to stop bleeding or block blood flow to
an aneurysm or tumor, and radiofrequency ablation to
kill cancerous tumors.
Pediatric
Radiology
Two faculty members focus exclusively on radiological
imaging of pediatric patients.
Women’s
Imaging
Screening and diagnostic imaging is performed in a facility
dedicated exclusively to women’s imaging. Other
procedures include image-guided breast biopsies.
Research
The
research program includes study of helical CT, breast
imaging and intervention, ultrasound imaging, vascular
and neurovascular intervention. State-of-the-art stroke
intervention and liver tumor treatment programs are
underway.
