With access to some of the most advanced technology available, our highly skilled radiologists diagnose and treat a variety of conditions ranging from liver tumors and uterine fibroids to strokes and abdominal aortic aneurysms. Our state-of-the-science imaging technology includes a 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, a 64-slice combined positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) scanner, high-field MRI scanners, five helical CT scanners for ultra-fast imaging, digital mammography, single-plane and bi-plane angiography, and technologically advanced procedure suites. Our Radiology Services team at UC Irvine Medical Center has expertise across a variety of specialties, including abdominal imaging, molecular imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, chest imaging and breast imaging. Specialized training and experience results in better and more effective patient care. In fact, experts in our radiology services divisions frequently provide interpretations for imaging centers throughout California. As faculty members of UC Irvine’s School of Medicine, these specialists are also at the forefront of advances in radiological diagnoses and treatment. Divisions of Radiology Services Abdominal Imaging Abdominal imaging is a specialty that involves diagnosing diseases of the liver, pancreas, kidneys, gallbladder, colon and adrenal glands as well as performing complex abdominal interventions, among them ultrasound and CT-guided biopsies, abscess drainages and CT enterography for conditions involving the gastrointestinal tract.
