Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Women ages 65 and older at moderate risk for fracture may want to consider getting a DEXA bone density scan, a quick, easy, noninvasive test to measure bone loss. Once discovered, bone loss (osteoporosis) can be treated to help prevent fracture. Women ages 50 and older may seek testing sooner if they have a major risk factor, such as breaking a bone in a minor accident, a history of smoking and/or heavy alcohol use, diabetes, an osteoarthritis-related disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, or a parent who broke a hip. Talk to your clinician about whether a DEXA bone scan might be right for you. RAO offers this service at our Women’s Imaging Center, TimberRidge Imaging Center and TimberRidge Imaging Center Heathbrook Pavilion.
Colonoscopy
The traditional method for colon and rectal cancer screening is with optical colonoscopy. In this procedure, the patient is sedated and a small, flexible, catheter-type device with a camera is inserted into the colon through the rectum.

Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States and is also the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths.
Prostate Cancer
According to the American Cancer Society, one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Caught and treated while it is still localized, prostate cancer has a nearly 100% survival rate. Because prostate cancer tends to be slow-growing, it is rare in men under 40 and rises significantly after age 50. About 60% of cases occur in men 65 and older. Having a first-degree relative (father or brother) who has had prostate cancer more than doubles a man’s risk of developing it himself.
Lung Cancer
Quit smoking. Lung cancer is the country’s leading cause of cancer death among both men and women, and women now surpass men in new cases, including younger women ages 30-49, so don’t assume lung cancer is strictly a disease that affects older people. If you have tried to quit before and been unsuccessful, you’re not alone. Research shows it can take an average of anywhere from 5-30 attempts before a smoker finally quits for good. Don’t give up. No matter what your age or how long you’ve been smoking, quitting now promotes more years of life, easier breathing, better bodily function, greater vitality, reduced risk of heart attack, stroke, lung disease and other maladies, improved appearance, and huge savings. Think about what you could do with the money you spend annually on cigarettes: take a trip, expand your wardrobe, donate to a cause you care about. Talk to your doctor about cessation medications and programs to help ease you through the process. Talk to your doctor about cessation medications and programs to help ease you through the process. If you are still smoking or have quit within the last 10 years, you may be a good candidate for a lung screening (LDCT). Discuss this painless, easy test with your doctor as well.

Mental Health
Get a Check Up. Covid has kept a lot of folks from seeing a doctor for a routine check-up. But diseases don’t wait for Covid to go away or for schedules to clear – they just happen. Good health includes early discovery of disease so problems can be addressed before they have a chance to progress and worsen. Your provider can perform the necessary exams to assess how you’re doing, including testing your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and other important metrics. Your doctor will recommend the right screening exams for you, such as a mammogram, a pap smear or a colorectal exam. Your doctor can also advise you about ways to quit smoking, drugs and/or alcohol, manage mental health struggles, prevent/treat STDs, address difficulties related to menstruation, perimenopause or menopause, plus a whole lot more. If you haven’t had a routine health exam in a while, make an appointment today. You’re worth the investment.

Thyroid
Parathyroid 4D-CT is particularly useful in cases where surgery, thyroid disease or anatomical issues have rendered less detailed imaging systems, like ultrasound and sestamibi, incapable of discovering abnormalities, resulting in negative readings. In fact, 4D-CT can prevent the need for invasive exploratory surgery as well as assist in the planning of necessary surgeries, including re-operations of patients who have been designated ineligible for further surgical treatment, providing for many a new possibility of a cure.

Ultrasound
An ultrasound-guided breast biopsy may be used when lumps or abnormalities of the breast are found on a mammogram and/or ultrasound. The radiologist uses ultrasound guidance to help guide the biopsy instruments to the area of concern for sampling. A biopsy will determine whether the finding is benign or malignant.
MRI
When a screening mammogram or other test shows evidence of cells that need to be tested for cancer, MRI guided imaging allows pinpoint direction to the area being investigated so that a sample can be collected with minimal disturbance to surrounding tissues.
Radiology
Our radiologists are certified by the American Board of Radiology and are the exclusive providers at AdventHealth Ocala, Ocala Regional Medical Center, West Marion Community Hospital and Bravera Health Seven Rivers in Citrus County.
X-Rays
Nuclear Medicine
The DaTscan is a safe nuclear medicine study used to evaluate the brain for tremors and/or Parkinson’s Disease. It utilizes the injection of a material called Ioflupane I123 into the bloodstream, where it travels to the brain and highlights the neurons responsible for controlling movement. From there an RAO imaging expert will take pictures of the affected area using a gamma camera, a device designed to capture detailed pictures of the brain and its neurons for assessment.
Mammography
Stereotactic breast biopsy is a breast biopsy method that uses a hollow needle and x-ray guidance to take a sample of a suspicious lesion. A special computerized mammography machine uses intersecting coordinates to pinpoint the area of tissue change. A biopsy needle is then passed through the skin into the lesion. A small tissue sample is obtained and sent to a pathologist (a physician specializing in the analysis of tissue samples under a microscope for diagnosis). When your biopsy findings are ready you may have an appointment with your clinician to discuss the results and decide on the next step. If cancer is found you may be referred to a surgeon or tumor specialist.
Computed Tomography
PET/CT is a diagnostic imaging system that combines PET and CT into one unit. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) utilizes a low-level radiopharmaceutical to visualize metabolic activity within the body to help diagnose, stage, or guide your clinician in the treatment of cancer. CT stands for Computed Tomography (otherwise known as a “Cat Scan”). This technique uses x-rays to make cross-sectional images (called slices) of your body. PET/CT combines both functional and anatomical information into one single scan. This allows your doctor the ability to pinpoint the exact location of interest and determine its functional status. PET/CT scans have been shown to provide more accurate diagnoses than the two scans performed separately.
Chemotherapy
As many as 30% of prostate cancers never grow large enough to become life-threatening, and MRI can also help avoid overtreatment in those cases. Men with localized and low grade prostate cancer usually have the option to monitor their condition using regular MRI exams, PSA monitoring and clinical evaluations instead of undergoing surgery, chemotherapy or other treatments.
Interventional Radiology
RAO’s radiologists are the exclusive providers of imaging and interventional radiology services at AdventHealth Ocala, Ocala Regional Medical Center, West Marion Community Hospital and Bravera Health Seven Rivers in Citrus County. Additionally, we have Synapse Mobility FUJI PACS in our outpatient centers. This allows our radiologists to have immediate and secure access to all your imaging studies, reports, and previous exams when they are done in our outpatient centers or at the hospitals. This eliminates the delays associated with traditional film-based imaging and data transfer.

Breast Surgery
When a mammogram or other breast imaging test reveals a tumor that can’t be felt manually, SCOUT® wire-free radar localization provides leading-edge technology to mark the area for lumpectomy or surgical biopsy. SCOUT is a tiny rice-sized implant that your RAO breast specialist places at the tumor site to guide your surgeon directly to the area(s) being treated, for unparalleled accuracy. Unlike wire localization, SCOUT can be inserted a day or more before surgery to avoid scheduling conflicts, which can delay treatment.

Skin Cancer
Cyst
Lesions
The Board Certified radiologists of RAO are proud to utilize the latest advance in early parathyroid disease detection, the Parathyroid 4D-CT, a specialized four-dimensional imaging system that can discover abnormal parathyroid glands and tumors earlier and smaller than ever before. Performed with or without iodine-based intravenous contrast dye, 4D-CT goes beyond 3D imaging to include multiple phases, adding time elapse as another dimension in discovery, for amazing clarity of the parathyroid glands and any lesions, abnormal positioning and other irregularities.

Sports Medicine
Probably the most common use of x-ray is to assist the physician in identifying and treating fractures. X-ray images of the skull, spine, joints, and extremities are performed every minute of every day in hospital emergency rooms, sports medicine centers, orthopedic clinics, and physician offices. Images of the injury can show even very fine hairline fractures or chips, while images produced after treatment ensure that a fracture has been properly aligned and stabilized for healing. Bone x-rays are an essential tool in orthopedic surgery, such as spinal repair, joint replacements, or fracture reductions.
