Interventional Radiology
Diagnosis of certain conditions may require biopsies, performed by our interventional radiologists, using CT or ultrasound to guide collecting the tissue sample for examination by our fellowship-trained, board -certified pathologists.
Our interventional radiologists also perform ablations of tumors and abnormal tissue in the liver, kidney, lung and other locations. Utilizing CT, ultrasound or both, interventional radiologists guide electromagnetic waves to destroy cells without requiring surgery.
Echocardiography (ECHO)
Echocardiograms offer a non-invasive way to evaluate your heart’s health and guide appropriate treatment.
Interpreted by our experienced cardiologists using advanced ultrasound technology, echocardiograms provide detailed insight into how your heart is functioning. These studies help diagnose a wide range of conditions including structural heart issues, heart failure, valve abnormalities and aneurysms.

Non-invasive vascular imaging
Using advanced ultrasound technology and interpreted by experienced vascular specialists, our non-invasive vascular imaging provides accurate insight into circulatory health. These studies help identify stroke risk through carotid ultrasound, which can detect blockages in the carotid arteries. We also perform peripheral vascular testing, including ultrasound of the extremities, to evaluate blood flow and identify conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

AI enhanced screening and personalized breast cancer risk assessment to support earlier detection.
As a commitment to innovation in breast cancer detection, Riverside Health has partnered with Transpara® BreastCare, a leading artificial intelligence (AI) system designed to help radiologists detect cancers in mammograms. The software serves as a second set of eyes for providers to identify patterns of cancerous breast tissue and aims to detect cancer early, when it may be easier to treat.
All of Riverside’s Diagnostic & Imaging Centers are accredited by the American College of Radiology, including three locations that are designated as Breast Centers of Excellence.
As part of your annual screening mammogram, you will be invited to take a complimentary breast cancer risk assessment. Empowered with this information, you’ll gain the knowledge to understand your risk, and if you learn you are at higher risk of developing breast cancer, than that of the general population, Riverside’s High Risk Breast Clinic shares with you ways to reduce your risk and detect breast cancer at an earlier stage, when it is easier to treat.
Whether found during screening or incidentally, our team ensures prompt assessment by expert pulmonologists.
Our radiologists review every imaging study with care. Should a concerning lung nodule be detected during a lung cancer screening or found unexpectedly in an imaging study ordered by your doctor, in the emergency room or during a hospital stay, you will be referred automatically to Riverside’s Lung Nodule Clinic for further evaluation. The vast majority of nodules are not cancerous, however some may be early signs of lung cancer, which is why expedited access to our expert pulmonologists is so important.
Did you know you can screen for lung cancer? If you are between the ages of 50-80 years old and have an extensive smoking history, lung cancer screening through a quick and painless low dose CT scan can be life-saving.
A noninvasive CT scan can help you identify hidden plaque and better understand your heart health.
A coronary calcium scoring CT Scan (CCS) is a noninvasive test, used to identify, locate and measure the build-up of calcified plaque deposits in the coronary arteries. This results in a calcium score, or coronary artery calcium score, that is used to evaluates a patient’s risk of coronary heart disease.
This test is not intended to be used by individuals who have already been diagnosed with heart disease such as atherosclerosis or heart failure.
A coronary calcium scoring CT Scan, is not yet covered by insurance, but is available for $111.
Talk with your health care provider if you are interested in a CCS, so they can place an order. CCS is available at the following locations:
- Riverside Diagnostic Center Hampton
- Riverside Regional Medical Center Diagnostic Services
- Riverside Walter Reed Hospital Diagnostic Services
- Riverside Diagnostic Center Williamsburg
To schedule a coronary calcium scoring CT Scan, contact Central Scheduling by calling 757-989-8830, option 2. For patients on the Eastern Shore, call 757-302-2102, option 2.
Should you learn you are at higher risk, you can talk with your health care provider about next steps, to include lifestyle modifications, cholesterol lowering medications and routine surveillance.
