BiopsyA biopsy is a procedure in which tissue samples are removed (with a needle or during surgery) from the body for examination under a microscope; to determine if cancer or other abnormal cells are present.

Diabetes TreatmentDiabetes is a condition where the pancreas is unable to produce insulin or does not effectively use the insulin that is produced. Insulin is a hormone that removes glucose (blood sugar) from the blood and delivers it to the body's cells for fuel. Diabetes is a chronic disease for which there is no cure. Once someone has diabetes, the only treatment is ongoing management of the symptoms through meal planning, weight control, exercise, stress reduction and medication.
Diagnostic Ultrasound (Sonogram)Diagnostic ultrasound (sonography) is a non-invasive medical imaging technology that uses high frequency sound waves to form an image of body tissues. Information obtained from these images can be utilized along with other patient data in order to arrive at a medical diagnosis. Fine Needle AspirationFor a fine needle aspiration biopsy, a very thin needle is placed into the lump or suspicious area to remove a small sample of fluid and/or tissue. No incision is necessary. A fine needle aspiration biopsy may be performed to help to differentiate a cyst from a lump. Hormone Replacement TherapyDrug therapy that supplies estrogen (with or without progestin) to women in order to help reduce menopausal symptoms.

Osteoporosis CareTreatment of osteoporosis, a disease, occurring especially in women following menopause, in which the bones become extremely porous and are subject to fracture. Radioactive Iodine TherapyRadioactive iodine therapy is commonly used to treat some types of thyroid conditions or cancer. Radioactive iodine (I-131), given in a liquid or capsule form, is absorbed and concentrated by the thyroid gland. The treatment destroys thyroid tissue, while sparing the rest of the body. Radioactive iodine has been safely used to treat thyroid nodules for more than 50 years. Thyroid Disease ManagementThe thyroid gland is located in the base of the throat and controls the hormones used in the body's metabolism. Numerous treatment options are available for diseases and conditions impacting the thyroid gland. Thyroid TestingVarious tests may be performed to determine if a patient has a thyroid-related disease or condition. Tests may range from bloodwork to ultrasounds, depending on the patient's symptoms. UltrasoundAn ultrasound, also called sonography, is a diagnostic imaging technique which uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues and organs. Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs as they function, and to assess blood flow through various vessels.
