Osteoporosis
We offer a variety of health screenings available at our offices located in Venice, Englewood and Sarasotao Florida. Osteoporosis Screening, Breast MRI, Lung and Heart Scans, Digital X-Ray, Prostate MRI, and Peripheral Artery Disease Screening.
Arthritis
Approximately 700,000 vertebral, or spinal bone, fractures occur each year — usually in women over the age of 60. Researchers estimate that at least 25 percent of women and a somewhat smaller percentage of men over the age of 50 will suffer one or more spinal fractures. Younger people also suffer these fractures, particularly those whose bones have become fragile due to the long-term use of steroids or other drugs to treat a variety of diseases such as lupus, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. Of particular concern are spinal fractures caused by a progressive weakening of the bone -- a condition called osteoporosis. The pain and loss of movement that often accompany bone fractures of the spine are perhaps the most feared and debilitating side effects of osteoporosis. For many people with osteoporosis, a spinal fracture means severely limited activity, constant pain and a serious reduction in the quality of their lives.
Primary Care
Claustrophobic patients should consult with their primary care physician in order to obtain a mild anti-anxiety to bring with them to take prior to the scan. Transportation should be arranged according to medication instructions.

Pregnancy

Prostate Cancer
MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a noninvasive test that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to generate detailed images of the body. A Prostate MRI provides detailed images of the prostate and surrounding tissues. For this reason, it is often used to diagnose, evaluate and monitor prostate cancer and its treatment.
Lung Cancer
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. If you and your physician are concerned we can help with a low dose radiation CT Lung Screening call us for more information on this potentially life saving screening. Venice/Englewood 941-488-7781 or Sarasota 941-342-7283.

Anxiety

Ultrasound
Ultrasound Pelvic: Female: drink 32 ounces of water one hour prior to exam and hold. Male: 24 ounces of water one hour prior to study and hold.
MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging, commonly known as MRI is a medical test that aids physicians in diagnosis and treating medical conditions. This is a noninvasive and typically painless test. In contrast to the more common X-Ray that uses ionizing radiation, MRI uses a strong magnetic field, radio waves and a computer. This enables MRI to make very detailed pictures of bone, organs, soft tissues and any other body structures. Differences between normal and abnormal tissue is often clearer on an MRI image than a CT. And while there is no radiation involved in an MRI scan, it can be a noisy exam and takes longer than a CT. Learn more about MRI Scan
Radiology
Radiology Associates of Venice, Englewood, and Sarasota is pleased to introduce you to our web site. It is our goal at RAVE to combine years of physician education and experience with cutting edge technology to provide excellent radiologic diagnosis and intervention. To that end, and in the interest of improving your experience and communication with RAVE, we are maintaining this web site. Patients, please notice our links to educational pages and patient preparation instructions. Physicians, let us make our images and reports available to you on line through our PACS link. RAVErad.com is a work in progress. It does not include all that we do.
X-Rays
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Medicine: Specific instructions pertaining to fasting versus non-fasting will be given at the time of scheduling. It is essential that patients have not had barium studies or other nuclear medicine procedures within 2 days of procedure. Comfortable clothing should be worn, preferably with no metal.
Mammography
Breast tomosynthesis, also called three-dimensional (3-D) mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), is an advanced form of breast imaging, or mammography, that uses a low-dose x-ray system and computer reconstructions to create three-dimensional images of the breasts. Breast tomosynthesis aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast disease.
Computed Tomography
CT Scan sometimes called CAT scanning is a painless and a non-invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. CT uses a very thin special X-ray beam to produce detailed, cross sectional views of the area being studied. The images can be examined on a computer or printed. CT is often the preferred method of diagnosing causes of pain and many different forms of cancer. CT of the internal organs, bone, blood vessels and soft tissue provide greater clarity than conventional x-ray exams.
Radiation Therapy
With the high-tech images that the PET/CT scanner provides, patients may be able to avoid other unnecessary procedures. A PET/CT image also provides early detection of the recurrence of cancer, revealing tumors that might otherwise be obscured by scar tissue that results from surgery and radiation therapy, particularly in the head and neck.

Gangrene
If severe enough, blocked blood flow can cause gangrene (tissue death). In very serious cases, this can lead to leg amputation.

Skin Cancer
An IV will be placed in your vein so that we can administer an injection of F-18 FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) which is a sugar-based solution with a short-lived radioactive isotope. Following this injection, you will wait 60 to 90 minutes to allow the isotope to be distributed throughout your body. FDG is taken up by all the cells in the body. However, more abnormally active cells (e.g. tumors) take up a greater percentage of the FDG than normally active cells. These cells present as "hot spots" on the images. After the 60 to 90 minutes wait period you will be escorted to the PET/CT scanner for imaging. You will be lying still on the scanner table for 30-45 minutes. Melanoma patients will be lying still on the scanner table for approximately 1 hour.
