Tampa General Hospital’s Imaging Department provides state-of-the-art imaging services for a variety of conditions at our outpatient imaging centers and hospital facilities. Our imaging capabilities serve as the foundation for many of our treatments, giving our clinicians the guidance they need to establish effective management plans and interventional treatments that may be offered as alternatives to more invasive surgeries. Our fellowship-trained radiologists are trained in diagnostic imaging techniques for all our hospital’s sub-specialties, including neuroradiology, and cardiac, musculoskeletal, thoracic, body, and vascular imaging.

Our extensive diagnostic radiology imaging abilities can be used to diagnose a variety of medical conditions, and they can also be used to provide visual guidance during certain minimally invasive treatments. For example, our experienced interventional radiologists can perform prostatic artery embolization (PAE) and uterine fibroid embolization, as well as treatments for cancer and vascular aneurysms, using digital imaging to guide their movements. Using CT and ultrasound imaging, we can also perform organ biopsies with very low complication rates.
Patient Safety
TGH’s Imaging Department always makes patient safety a top priority.
