Advances in medical imaging are transforming healthcare. Today, radiology can detect diseases earlier, guide treatments with more precision, and support long-term health in ways that were unimaginable just a generation ago. At Iowa Radiology, we are proud to bring many of these innovations to Central Iowa, combining advanced technology with the expertise of a large, subspecialized team.
Advancing Cancer Detection
One of the most powerful applications of modern imaging is cancer detection. Iowa Radiology offers 3D mammography, which improves detection of breast cancer and reduces false positives, especially in women with dense breasts. We also provide CT colonography, a minimally invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy, and low-dose CT (LDCT) for lung cancer screening–tools that allow cancers to be found earlier, when treatment is most effective.
These technologies not only improve outcomes but also make screening more accessible and comfortable for patients, reducing barriers to preventive care.
Innovations in MRI and CT
MRI and CT have become indispensable in diagnosing neurological conditions, musculoskeletal injuries, and complex abdominal diseases. At Iowa Radiology, we invest in high-resolution MRI that reveals subtle changes in the brain, spine, and joints, as well as advanced CT imaging that produces detailed images while minimizing radiation exposure.
Interventional Radiology: Minimally Invasive, Highly Effective
Innovation in radiology goes beyond diagnosis. It also extends into treatment. Interventional radiology offers minimally invasive options such as cryoablation for tumor treatment and prostate artery embolization for benign prostatic hyperplasia. These procedures often provide alternatives to surgery, with shorter recovery times and less risk.
At Iowa Radiology, interventional radiology is an expanding area of practice that demonstrates our commitment to advancing patient-centered care.
Technology with a Purpose
Every investment in new technology at Iowa Radiology is made with a clear purpose: to improve patient outcomes, enhance safety, and support providers in delivering the best possible care. Innovation is not just about having the latest equipment. It’s about making sure that technology is used thoughtfully, backed by expertise, and integrated into a patient’s full healthcare journey.
Shaping the Future of Care in Iowa
As medicine continues to evolve, radiology will remain at the center of innovation. Iowa Radiology is committed to staying at the forefront of these advances, ensuring that patients in Central Iowa have access to the same high-quality imaging and interventional services available at leading medical centers nationwide.
A Trusted Source for Innovation and Insight
For patients, innovation means earlier answers, clearer guidance, and less invasive options. For providers, it means access to accurate, timely reports that inform treatment plans with confidence. For the community, it means healthier outcomes and a stronger future.
At Iowa Radiology, innovation isn’t about technology alone–it’s about combining advanced tools with compassionate expertise to deliver insights that guide care. That’s how we’re shaping the future of healthcare in Central Iowa.
