Since its founding 61 years ago, Asheville Radiology Associates has provided
high quality, cost effective radiology services to the community. From our board-certified
radiologists to our expert technologists and friendly office staff, Asheville Radiology is
dedicated to meeting the needs of patients and their physicians.
Body Imaging
Body imagers are radiologists who use cross-sectional imaging techniques to diagnose and follow disease
processes of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. With the use of CT, ultrasound and MRI, they identify
neoplastic, inflammatory and traumatic lesions throughout the body.
Cardiothoracic Imaging
Cardiothoracic imaging is the imaging of the chest area including the lungs and heart.
Chest x-rays and CT are the standard procedures used in the evaluation of the respiratory and
cardiovascular system.
Diagnostic Radiology
Is the process of creating images of the body, its organs, and other internal structures with external
radiation. Diagnostic radiology procedures are generally non-invasive, meaning the body is not entered
with any equipment or cut open for imaging. Certain procedures can combine diagnostic radiology techniques
along with minimally invasive procedures to diagnose a treatment.
- Angiogram
- Barium X-ray
- CT
- Fluoroscopy
- MRI
- Ultrasound
- X-ray
- Nuclear Medicine
Interventional Radiology
Our Interventional Radiologists are fellowship-trained and specialize in
performing image-guided procedures to treat and diagnose a wide range of vascular and nonvascular diseases.
Musculoskeletal Radiology
The Section of Musculoskeletal Radiology offers the full spectrum of imaging
modalities to diagnose disorders of the musculoskeletal system, including plain
film radiography, CT, MRI, arthrography, MR arthrography, CT arthrography, image
guided pain management, bone biopsies and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of
bone tumors. The section works closely with our colleagues in Orthopaedic Surgery,
Sports Medicine, Rheumatic and Immunologic Disease, and general practice to provide
accurate and cost-effective diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal pathology.
MRI
Dedicated extremity coils including wrist coils. Multiplanar imaging useful
for evaluating joint, tendon and ligamentous pathology.
MR Arthography
Used to evaluate:
- Intercarpal ligaments
- Glenoid labrum
- Acetabular labrum
- Postoperative meniscus
- Osteochondritis dissecans
- Articular cartilage defects
Whole Body MRI
New modality in hte evaluation of skeletal metastasis and detection of multiple
myeloma.
Image-Guided Procedures
Steroid and Anesthetic injections for use in:
- Major joints
- Epidural space
- Facets
- Selective nerve root blocks
- Foot and Ankle joints
- Sacroiliac joints
- Pseudoarthrosis
- Piriformis syndrome
- Tenography
- Radiofrequency Ablations
- Image-guided biopsies
Multislice CT
Sagital and Coronal reformats for pre and post surgical morphology
3D surface rendering
Orthopedic hardware imaging
CT arthrography for:
- Chondromalacia
- Intra-articular loose bodies
- Evaluation of articular cartilage
Interventional Neuroradiology
Our Interventional Neuroradiology team offers a full spectrum of contemporary and emerging
endovascular therapeutic and neurointerventional techniques
Nuclear Medicine
Specialize in the use of radiopharmaceuticals for the diagnosis of a variety of conditions.
Nuclear medicine uses the administration of small amounts of radioactive tracers to study body
physiology. Cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, thyroid, hepatobiliary and musculoskeletal systems
can be imaged to provide valuable functional information.
Vascular Surgery
Our vascular surgeons are experts in diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease.
They employ the most up-to-date open and endovascular techniques.
