| Radiology Info is designed with
the patient in mind. Developed jointly by The
American College of Radiology and the Radiological
Society of North America, this site provides information for Diagnostic Radiology,
Radiation Therapy and Interventional Radiology including how the various procedures are
performed, what the experience is like from the patient's point of view and how to prepare
for the exams. An extensive glossary of terms is also included. The
Breast Cancer Site – By simply visiting this web site and clicking the button
"Fund Free Mammograms" you can help provide a free mammogram for a woman in
need. Supported by advertising sponsors, funds generated by visitors' clicks at The Breast
Cancer Site go to the National
Breast Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives through
early detection. The National Breast Cancer Foundation uses funds from the site
specifically to provide free mammograms to minority, low-income and working-poor women
living in inner cities across the United States.
National
Osteoporosis Foundation - A recent report by the National Osteoporosis Foundation
estimates that eight million American women and 2 million men have osteoporosis, and an
estimated 34 million more have low bone density. Prevalence estimates based on 2000 census
data for 2010 and 2020 show those numbers growing. The National Osteoporosis Foundation
web site provides useful information on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
A Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD) is the only way to
diagnose osteoporosis. Are you a candidate for BMD? See our Osteoporosis Risk Questionnaire. |
