Radiology

Since its inception in 1983, Roswell Radiology Associates (RRA) has made exceptional patient care its priority. We provide women’s imaging services at North Fulton Hospital and Roswell Imaging Center. The members of RRA have completed their diagnostic radiology and fellowship training at some of the most prestigious programs in the US. All members are board-certified by the American Board of Radiology and are members of major radiological societies, including American College of Radiology, Radiological Society of North America, Society of Interventional Radiology, Society of Nuclear Medicine and American Society of Neuroradiology. Several members have also had their work published in leading medical journals.

What sets RRA apart is that all members bring a high level of expertise to women’s imaging. All of our radiologists are breast specialists, and at Roswell Imaging Center, we operate a high-volume breast & women’s imaging center with approximately 10,000 visits per year. Our members have received additional training in the latest imaging techniques, including digital mammography, PET/CT and breast MRI. Additionally, we provide expert skills in minimally-invasive biopsies using imaging guidance. This includes ultrasound, MRI, and stereotactic guided biopsies. Each member maintains their high standards with monthly peer-review conferences, active participation in tumor board conferences, and by pursuing extensive continuing medical education in many national and international imaging and interventional conferences.
