Lung cancer screening saves lives—and it’s easier than you might think. 💨

Using low-dose CT (LDCT), this fast, painless, noninvasive scan takes detailed X-ray images of your lungs while you simply lie still and hold your breath. If everything looks good, you'll just repeat it next year.

Your scan will be read by a board-certified radiologist at Radiology and Imaging Specialists, and a full report will be sent to your doctor.

Yes, it's called an Amyloid scan.

An Amyloid PET scan can provide important answers when it comes to memory loss or cognitive decline. 🧠✨

This scan uses a tracer called Amyvid to detect amyloid plaque in the brain—a key indicator of Alzheimer’s disease. A negative scan helps rule out Alzheimer’s, while a positive scan offers valuable insight that can guide next steps in treatment and care.

We offer Amyloid PET Brain scans for Alzheimer’s at the Central Office only in addition to the NM Dat scans and MRI brain scans. Learn about brain scans at RIS: https://www.risimaging.com/services/brain-imaging/

It’s a quick, minimally invasive procedure done right in the office. You'll get a local anesthetic to numb the area, then a tiny needle is guided into the thyroid using ultrasound to collect a sample. It only takes a few minutes—and afterward, you'll just need a band-aid and can go about your day like normal!

✨ Why patients choose Open MRI:
✔ More room and visibility
✔ Less anxiety and discomfort
✔ Ideal for children, seniors, and those with larger body types
✔ No sacrifice in diagnostic quality

Don't let fear keep you from getting the care you need. Learn about our Open MRI: https://www.risimaging.com/services/diagnostic-imaging/magnetic-resonance-imaging-mri/open-mri/

Most thyroid nodules are harmless, but there are times when they need a closer look. If you notice a lump in your neck, have trouble swallowing or breathing, experience voice changes, or have a family history of thyroid cancer, it’s important to talk to your doctor.

In some cases, your provider may recommend a thyroid biopsy using fine needle aspiration (FNA)—a quick, minimally invasive test that helps determine whether a nodule is benign or needs further treatment. While most nodules aren’t cancerous, early evaluation can provide peace of mind and help you avoid unnecessary procedures.

When it comes to prostate health, clarity matters. A Prostate MRI offers a non-invasive, radiation-free way to get a detailed view of the prostate—helping detect cancer earlier, avoid unnecessary biopsies, and guide treatment with greater precision.

Unlike traditional methods, MRI can differentiate between aggressive and slow-growing tumors. That means fewer false alarms and more personalized care.

Here’s what a Prostate MRI can do:
✅ Detect suspicious areas that may be missed by other tests
✅ Help avoid unnecessary biopsies or surgeries
✅ Support active surveillance in low-risk cases
✅ Provide critical detail for treatment planning

If you have an elevated PSA, a family history of prostate cancer, or are considering a biopsy, ask your doctor if a Prostate MRI should be your next step.

✔ Know your risk
✔ Talk to your doctor about screening
✔ Get screened!

Let’s be honest: no one looks forward to mammogram day. While 3D mammograms (aka digital breast tomosynthesis) still involve breast compression like traditional 2D ones, many patients say the experience feels smoother. That’s likely because the machine moves more efficiently and captures images faster.

But here’s where 3D really shines:
✨ Sharper, clearer images—especially helpful for women with dense breast tissue
✨ Fewer callbacks for repeat scans, which means less stress and uncertainty

So while the physical comfort may be similar, the emotional peace of mind and improved accuracy make a big difference. More clarity. Less worry. That’s a win.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death—but it’s also one of the most preventable. With the latest in non-invasive cardiac imaging, we can detect heart issues early and give you the answers you need to stay on top of your cardiovascular health.

🔹 Calcium Score (Heart Scan): A quick, painless CT that measures calcium buildup in your coronary arteries—an early sign of heart disease.
🔹 Coronary CT Angiography (CTA): Visualizes blood flow in the coronary arteries to assess blockages or narrowing.
🔹 Cardiac CT & Cardiac MRI: Offers detailed views of the heart's structure, helping to diagnose conditions like cardiomyopathy, congenital defects, or scarring after a heart attack.
🔹 Echocardiogram (Echo): An ultrasound of the heart that checks how well your heart chambers and valves are working in real-time.

These tests can help identify silent risks before symptoms begin—and give your care team the insight they need to personalize your treatment.
