One of the most shared and common concerns today is wondering about the safety, cleanliness, and risk factors involved as we venture out. Some of the most populated places like markets, stores, gas stations, and beaches are thought to be the most dangerous due to crowds and cross-contamination, However, for those that need medical care, you should not put off any screenings or treatment due to these fears. Why? Because medical facilities, especially ones such as RAVE Imaging, are trained in rigorous protocols to keep everyone safe (patients and staff), and in a time like this, the methods RAVE uses are amplified with stringent guidelines.

Interventional Radiology
Interventional Radiology is a subspecialty of radiology in which minimally invasive procedures are performed using imaging guidance. Some of these procedures are done for purely diagnostic purposes, while others are done for treatment purposes. Pictures are used to direct these procedures, which are usually done with needles or other tiny instruments like small tubes called catheters. The images provide road maps that allow the Interventional Radiologist to guide these instruments through the body to the areas of interest.
As mentioned, it’s imperative not to put off any screenings, such as breast mammography, lung CT’s, Brain imaging, or any other services or surgical procedures that are crucial to monitor and maintain your health at the highest level. Some cancers and conditions can rapidly proliferate or wreak havoc on your health if they are not examined and evaluated in a timely manner.
You can Trust that RAVE Imaging is here for you through these uncertain times, and their top priority is your health and safety.
