Welcome to the home of Western Pennsylvania's premier ultrasound and mammography facility. Our services include:
We also offer high-tech imaging, such as 3D and 4D ultrasound, digital mammography, and computer-aided detection (CAD) for mammograms. In partnership with West Mifflin Imaging, our services have been expanded to include breast MRI and MRI-guided breast biopsy.

Finally, we offer
(first in Pittsburgh!) Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI), a new test for detecting breast cancer and for following up questionable mammograms. We are pleased that the women of Western Pennsylvania now have available to them the latest in breast imaging innovation and the chance to detect breast cancers earlier than before.

Our commitment to provide quality imaging services to the people of this region is as strong today as it was when we first opened our doors in 1980.



We are a group of radiologists dedicated to providing expert, customized care to our patients and are committed to treating everyone with dignity and courtesy. As a private practice, we offer a more pleasant and private environment than the typical hospital setting.

All tests are interpreted promptly. Mammogram results are usually given to our patients before they leave the office.
We pride ourselves on being able to schedule appointments in a timely fashion, particularly emergency exams.

Patients can expect friendly and professional staff, as well as technologists and radiologists who are among the best in their specialties. Our physicians are recognized experts who have been selected to evaluate images from across the country as part of national quality assurance programs in mammography and sonography. All of our doctors are Board-certified radiologists. We are accredited in mammography by the American College of Radiology and in sonography by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine. We are certified by the International Society for Clinical Densitometry.

If you are currently a patient of ours, thank you for your trust. If not, it would be our pleasure to serve your imaging needs. We would appreciate it if you would tell your friends and relatives about us (e-mail this site to them).
