North Shore Radiological Associates

The radiologists at NSRA realize that undergoing medical testing can be stressful for both patients and their families. Anticipation of the exam itself, as well as the results, may add to anxiety. We encourage our patients to educate themselves about the radiologic exams they will be having.

Since there is a bewildering amount of information available, ranging from poor to excellent, we have selected some invaluable resources for review. Radiology Info is a comprehensive site which explains both diagnostic studies and interventional procedures.

If you have further concerns before or after your test, a technologist or radiologist is always available  to answer your questions.

Radiolology Info - Patient information about radiologic procedures and the role of radiologists in healthcare. Concise, accurate descriptions of diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic radiology procedures, how each is performed and what patients might experience.

Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging - Information for parents regarding radiation safety in medical imaging. As part of the "Image Gently" campaign, we actively try to reduce pediatric radiation exposure particularly for CT exams 

Mammograms and Breast Imaging procedures - American Cancer Society web page explaining mammography, ACS recommendations for screening and other breast imaging modalities.
