Russo M.D. and Associates Radiology

Our new Breast Tomosynthesis unit in Fairfield is now available. This is an additional screening tool used in conjunction with mammography in the fight against breast cancer.It doesn't even add additional time to the exam and no additional radiation either! This tool converts digital breast images into a stack of very thin slices that creates a 3D image that the radiologist can look at in one millimeter layers.

Our Fairfield Office has been awarded a three year term of accreditation in breast ultrasound as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). This is a great achievement for our Fairfield Office and practice as a whole. The ACR is a national professional organization serving more than 34,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services. Please stayed tuned for the official press release.

Russo Radiology is proud to announce our recognition in the Imaging Economics "Best of 2011 Radiology Facilities" annual profile of top radiology facilities, that are committed to excellence. 

As editor for Imaging Economics Marianne Matthews stated "There are approximately 30,000 radiologists practicing in the United States.  They are hard at work at hospitals, in imaging centers and in private practices across the country.  In addition to the radiologists there are thousands of radiology technologists and administratitve personnel working at the imaging facilities daily. Together these professionals make up a vital community, a medical imaging community.

Yet, all to often we hear the negative news.  Small practices are losing contracts to teleradiology companies, imaging centers are closing their doors in the tough economic climate, however some radiology practices are not only surviving but are thriving.  Imaging Economics felt it was important to celebrate the positive in the medical community by awarding the Best of 2011 Radiology Facilities."

Russo Radiology is thankful to its patients and referring physicians for the continued support.
