Global
Diagostic Team of Interpreters
Experts in Medical Imaging
Eighty five percent of disorders are asymptomatic
for years. In most cases disease can be identified before it is symptomatic
and slowed, halted, or reversed. Global Diagnostic Imaging has a team of
medical imaging specialists who devote themselves to bringing the best evidence
based medicine to patients. through physicians like you. Their goal is to
help you separate wellness from disease enabling you to treat diseased with
the best care.
This team makes Global Diagnostic Imaging
unique among in office medical imaging services because of the level of
experience and expertise these specialists offer. We have assembled some
of the experts in the medical imaging field by using digital image transfer
to focus their experience on your patients. The Global Diagnostic Imaging
interpreters diagnose and recommend evidence based treatment through such
tools as our “Echo consult & CT/MRI Consult” that has good clinical
outcome data.
Our Team consists of Radiologists and Cardiologist with
both Clinical and Research Expertise.
James
Seward MD - Cardiologist that has been
the Director of all three Mayo Echocardiography Laboratories since their origin.
He is an expert in pediatric and adult echocardiography. Jim is clinician
in the Mayo model of researcher, innovator, inventor, author, and teacher.
While with Mayo he developed the laboratories and teaching programs that are
considered the world’s most respected which has produced many of the leaders
in the CV ultrasound field. He has been responsible for the classification
of cardiovascular diseases and their treatment. Currently he teaches more
cardiologists through an international conference sponsored by Mayo Clinic
and The American Society of Echocardiography for sonographers and clinicians.
Jaque
Barth MD - Cardiologist who in the 1960’s
discovered the value of using the measurement of Carotid Intimal-Media Thickness
(CIMT) to predict future risk of MI, CVA, and TIA. He first discovered how
to digitize the intima and media of carotid arteries. Jaque directed many
large multicenter population and drug studies which have shown that this carotid
anatomy reveals a marker of the earliest atherosclerotic change in blood vessels.
For over 30 years he has proven its value to predict a person’s increased
risk for developing atherosclerotic CV disease. His work has been recognized
by AHA-ACC as valid and clinically useful to be used in algorithms to identify
risk, institute early treatment, and develop new algorithms for patient diagnosis
and management. He is a world leader in this new technology, a clinician,
and teacher.
Jeffery
Hellinger MD - Radiologist, trained at
Emory and Stanford Universities. He was the Director of CV imaging and 3D
Lab at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. A major focus for him is adult
and pediatric imaging of cardiovascular disease and advanced visualiztion.
He has front line experience in clinical imaging but is also a researcher
and innovator working at reducing radiation exposure for adults and children
which brings imaging techniques safely to a broader population of patients.
Michael
Mancina MD - Cardiologist was trained
as an invasive coronary and peripheral interventionist, and non invasive cardiologist
trained by the inventor of Echocardiography and Stress Echocardiography. He
received special training with the first American Cardiologist to train with
the Swiss inventor of balloon angioplasty (Gruenzig). He has clinical experience
with one of the country’s most renowned cardiology groups. Prior to clinical
practice he did vascular research that led to the development of a research
model used worldwide to culture cardiac muscle cells for clinical pharmacologic
research. Mike recognized the advantage of early diagnose of CV risk and valued
the ability of non-cardiologists to treat their patients who are in the early
stages of CV disease. He has been a clinical educator and directed the development
of SonoNet, bringing the tools of CV imaging to clinical offices outside the
fields of cardiology and radiology.
Global
Diagnostic Imaging is one of the largest office imaging CV CT/MRI services
in the US. It is a nationally certified ultrasound laboratory by the intersocietal
commission on imaging known for setting the highest clinical standards certified
by ICAEL and ICAVL to perform both cardiac and vascular techniques in clinical
medicine. Global Diagnostic Imaging has
focused on imaging for clinical practices where the need is greatest. Global
Diagnostic Imagingt has been a pioneer in digital image transfer that
allows high quality interpretation by expert’s from anywhere in the world.
