Professional Radiology has been serving the El Paso community for many years, providing reliable and accessible diagnostic imaging services to patients and referring physicians. Our practice is built on a foundation of clinical excellence, compassionate care, and a commitment to using advanced imaging technology to support accurate diagnoses. We understand that medical imaging can be a source of anxiety for many patients, which is why our team prioritizes clear communication, comfort, and a welcoming environment. Our radiologists are board-certified and have extensive experience in interpreting a wide range of imaging studies. We work closely with local physicians to ensure timely and accurate results, supporting effective treatment planning and patient care. Whether you're coming in for a routine screening or a more specialized study, our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
We offer a comprehensive range of imaging services to meet the diverse needs of our patients. Our services include digital X-ray, which is useful for evaluating bones, lungs, and certain soft tissue conditions. We also provide ultrasound imaging, a non-invasive method often used during pregnancy and for examining abdominal and pelvic organs. Our CT (computed tomography) scans deliver detailed cross-sectional images, helping to diagnose a variety of conditions including injuries, infections, and tumors. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is available for high-resolution imaging of the brain, spine, joints, and soft tissues without the use of radiation. Additionally, we perform mammography for breast cancer screening and DEXA scans for bone density assessment. We also offer specialized procedures such as fluoroscopy for real-time imaging guidance and certain interventional radiology services. All imaging is performed using modern equipment and follows strict safety protocols to minimize radiation exposure.
Our imaging services assist in the diagnosis and management of numerous health conditions. We help evaluate acute injuries such as fractures, sprains, and joint problems through X-ray and MRI. For patients with chronic conditions, imaging can monitor the progression of diseases like arthritis, osteoporosis, or spinal disorders. We also support the detection and assessment of infections, inflammation, and tumors in various parts of the body. Women benefit from our mammography services for early detection of breast abnormalities. Pregnant patients can receive safe and detailed ultrasound examinations to monitor fetal development. Our imaging also aids in evaluating neurological conditions affecting the brain and spine, as well as vascular issues that may impact circulation. By providing clear and accurate images, we help physicians make informed decisions about treatment and care.

Your first visit to Professional Radiology is designed to be straightforward and comfortable. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by our friendly staff and asked to complete any necessary paperwork, including a brief medical history and consent forms. If you have a referral from your physician, please bring it with you. Depending on the type of imaging study, you may be asked to change into a gown and remove any metal objects such as jewelry or watches. Our technologist will explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have before beginning. During the scan, you'll be positioned comfortably, and the process is generally painless and non-invasive. Some studies, like MRI, may require you to remain still for several minutes, while others, like X-ray, are completed very quickly. After your appointment, our radiologists will review the images and send a detailed report to your referring physician, typically within one to two business days.
Question: How should I prepare for my imaging appointment?
Answer: Preparation depends on the type of study. For most X-rays and ultrasounds, no special preparation is needed. However, for certain MRI or CT scans, you may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours beforehand, or to refrain from wearing makeup or lotions. If contrast dye is required, we'll provide specific instructions. Please bring your referral form and any relevant medical records.
Question: When will I receive my results?
Answer: After your imaging study is completed, our board-certified radiologists will review the images and prepare a detailed report. This is typically sent to your referring physician within one to two business days. Your doctor will then discuss the results with you and recommend any next steps. If you need your images for a second opinion or specialist visit, we can provide copies upon request.
