Desert Radiologists Early detection is vital for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases and conditions. Since it was founded in 1966, Desert Radiologists has been at the forefront of medical imaging in Southern Nevada. With more than 60 board-certified, subspecialty-trained radiologists, the experienced team is Nevada’s largest provider of leading-edge medical imaging and one of the country’s largest private diagnostic imaging practices. Most recently, Desert Radiologists became the only outpatient facility in Nevada to offer 3-D mammography, called breast tomosynthesis, for breast cancer screening. The latest in digital imaging technology, it produces an exceptionally sharp 3-D view of breast tissue that helps radiologists identify and characterize individual breast structures, one layer at a time, without the masking of overlapping tissue from a traditional two-dimensional mammogram. Breast cancer screening with tomosynthesis, when combined with conventional two-dimensional mammography has a 40 percent higher m8 M e d i c a l P R O F ILES
cancer detection rate than conventional two-dimensional mammography alone and fewer false positives, which eliminates the need for additional follow-up studies and unnecessary stress and concern for the patient. Providing fast and accurate information is equally important, and Desert Radiologists excels in these areas. Comprehensive systems are in place to ensure the highest level of quality and service. In fact, the practice defines quality as “report turnaround, thoroughness and accurate report delivery to referring physicians and hospitals.” Measured in minutes – not hours – many reports are available in less than 15 minutes, with most available in less than an hour. In 2013, Desert Radiologists completed more than 1.4 million studies and procedures. Desert Radiologists’ philosophy of care also encompasses making its services accessible by operating five American College of Radiology-accredited full-service outpatient facilities throughout Las Vegas and Henderson. It recently opened a sixth office in northeast Las Vegas,
the only imaging center east of Interstate 15 and U.S. 95. The practice is the radiology provider for 11 Nevada hospitals and provides radiology services for a large cancer center, group of multispecialty medical centers and several other facilities throughout Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Desert Radiologists offers the most comprehensive procedures available, including angiography, computed tomography (CT), CT colonography, DEXA, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), interventional and cardiovascular radiology, MRI/3T MRI, 3-D/two-dimensional mammography, nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET/CT), stereotactic and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy, uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) and ultrasound. In addition, the practice offers a complete array of vascular services at its Desert Vascular Institute.
