  ## Treatments & Services

 ### Balloon Angioplasty

In balloon angioplasty, a catheter with a small balloon on its tip is inserted into the blockage site. Once there, the balloon is inflated in the artery to flatten or compress the plaque against the artery wall.

  ### Carotid Stenting

When a stent, a small mesh tube that's used to treat narrow or weak arteries, is placed into the carotid artery in the neck to open the artery and allow better blood flow.

  ### Diagnostic Radiology

The Diagnostic Radiology department is a full service, academic medical imaging department for both adult and pediatric patients. A team of licensed and ARRT registered technologists accommodate patients imaging needs. The department houses the most sophisticated medical imaging technology to quickly deliver accurate electronic images to referring physicians. The enhanced digital imaging has many advantages over traditional x-ray units including providing a more detailed image with lower radiation dose in a shorter amount of time in a comfortable and compassionate setting.

  ### Dialysis Care

Patients who need dialysis can receive it through one of many centers in the region. A list of centers is available at http://www.medicare.gov/dialysisfacilitycompare/. Some of these centers also offer a peritoneoal dialysis program which is performed by patients at home, enabling them to remain independent and continue working. The BMC team can assist patients in finding a center that meets their unique needs and can coordinate with primary care physicians and dialysis centers to meet ongoing needs.

  ### Endovascular stent grafts

This is used to treat aneurysms using a minimally invasive approach. In the procedure, the doctor threads a stent (small mesh tube) through a catheter inside of the aneurysm so that blood flows in the proper direction.

  ### Gastrostomy Tube

A gastrostomy tube, also called a G-tube, is a type of feeding tube used when people can't get nutrition through their mouth.

  ### Molecular Imaging and Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear Medicine techniques are often used to look at many organ systems in the body and determine a patient’s best treatment option.

  ### Nephrostomy

Nephrostomy is an open created between the kidney and the skin that lets urine drain from your kidney through a catheter.

  ### Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS)

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt is a procedure where a doctor puts a stent in your portal vein to connect it to the hepatic vein in the liver.

  ### Vena Cava Filters 

Vena cava filters help prevent blood clots from traveling to your lungs.

 [Read more](/content/vena-cava-filters)

  ### Venous Access

Venous Access is when a catheter is placed inside of a vein, usually in the arm, neck, or chest, so that medication can be delivered directly into the blood, without repeatedly puncturing blood vessels.

 [Read more](/content/venous-access)

   ## Diagnostics and Tests

 ### Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

This test uses a magnetic field, radiofrequency pulses, and a computer to produce detailed images of body structures in multiple planes. Some people may need an IV put in place so caregivers can inject a contrast solution into their veins. This depends on the exam the doctor has ordered. MRI is a more detailed tool than x-ray and ultrasound and for certain organs or areas of the body, it provides better images than CT.
