Pueblo Radiology Furthers Quality and Convenience to Ventura’s Growing Women and Senior Populations
March 24, 2010 – Ventura, Calif. – Pueblo Radiology Medical Group
announces the addition of PET/CT services in its Ventura office
beginning April 26. PET/CT is used to diagnose, stage, and monitor
treatment plans for various diseases, especially cancer. This addition
makes Pueblo Radiology the only full-modality diagnostic imaging and
interventional radiology facility in Ventura with two subspecialty
trained radiologists on-site at all times.
PET/CT is a diagnostic imaging study that diagnoses and stages diseases
such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and cardiac disease. Using a
combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed
tomography (CT or “CAT Scan”), radiologists are able to identify the
precise biological location and metabolic activity of disease.
When asked why the decision was made to add PET/CT, Pueblo radiologist
and PET specialist James Day, MD said, “We recognized a growing need for
full-body imaging and sought a high quality piece of equipment that
would add convenience to our patients and referrers and complete our
circle of women’s diagnostic imaging services. PET/CT provides a
complete picture of tumors in the body. Detecting distant cancer lesions
will improve treatment plans, assess the effectiveness of treatment,
and save lives.”
Over half of Ventura’s residents are women – a subgroup that will
particularly benefit from the Pueblo’s full line of services. Of the
3,330 expected new cancer cases in Ventura County this year, 590 are
predicted to be breast cancer. If a routine mammogram finds
abnormalities, breast cancer patients could have all follow-ups from
detailed breast MRI, to ultrasound or MRI guided biopsies, to PET/CT
done at a single facility by the doctors who are most familiar with
their complete history. Pueblo Radiology also offers a full range of
woman’s diagnostic imaging to service all women’s health needs including
ultrasounds, bone density screening, calcium scoring, laser vein
treatment, hysterosalpingography, in addition to PET/CT.
The addition of PET/CT provides Pueblo Radiology’s patients with
complete state-of-the-art oncologic diagnostic imaging services and
serves an increasing need in the community. According to the American
Cancer Society 93% of cancer cases occur between the ages of 40 and 80 –
approximately 48% of Ventura’s 795,000 residents. With the population
of “baby boomers” steadily making the transition into senior-status, the
necessity for the quality, accuracy, and convenience of a full-service
imaging facility in the area is increasing.
The American Cancer Society attributes a 17% decrease in cancer
mortality rates from 1988-2005 to an increase in early detection; a
number that Pueblo Radiology hopes to help boost in Ventura with the
addition of PET/CT. For more information regarding this story or other
services offered by Pueblo Radiology, please contact Samantha Havard at
