North Broward Radiologists
Leveraging Subspecialized Radiology Procedures

The field of radiology has become so complex and advanced that today it plays an integral part in almost all areas of healthcare. As a patient, having a radiologist on your case that has a subspecialization is an added advantage that proves to be vital. Subspecialized radiologists increase the quality of care patients receive with their higher levels of insight and diagnosis than a general radiologist.

Since their inception in 1969, North Broward Radiologists (NBR) has positioned themselves to meet this growing need for subspecialized radiological services. They are an experienced, American Board of Radiology-certified group of physicians providing professional diagnostic imaging services based in Broward County, Florida.

To keep pace with the increasingly complex medical landscape, NBR’s specialized set of radiologists offers accurate and detailed interpretation compared to reports written by general radiologists. Most healthcare professionals within NBR have completed fellowship training in various subspecialties of radiology, including neuroradiology, pediatric imaging, PET imaging, ultrasound and interventional radiology. Many are also academic staff at major institutions.

“We focus on delivering timely, expert diagnosis to our referring physicians for every exam we perform,” says Dr. Brett Staller, President of NBR.

NBR offers services in multiple specialties, including diagnostic radiology like X-ray, musculoskeletal, vascular and interventional radiology, and fluoroscopy. They are also at the forefront of interventional radiology (IR) in oncology, which uses minimal invasive surgical procedures and image guidance. This treatment method is typically offered for patients that do not qualify for surgery or if the tumor is located where surgeons cannot normally access. NBR’s team’s extensive experience in this oncologic IR enables them to treat tumors with medication or chemotherapy delivered via the artery that supplies blood to the tumor using catheters. The group also does biopsies of both benign and malignant tumors.

NBR continues to stay relevant with the recent advancements in cardiac and neuroradiology subspecialties and is working on more subspecialties. They have added the latest methodologies to their service portfolio pertaining to cardiac imaging while providing a full range of services for any kind of vascular and interventional procedures, including intravascular stent placement and catheter placement for selective chemotherapy infusion. For example, the group provides accurate imaging of treatable lesions and diagnoses them using minimal invasive methods. This approach outweighs the traditional method, which requires a contrast to be injected into arteries. They also carry out procedures to remove the fluid accumulation.

Through numerous interactions with the patient population, NBR realized that many are keen on understanding the medical procedures recommended by their physicians. NBR provides patient education and community lectures in hospitals, especially for those who come in for an annual screening or OB ultrasound. This is highly beneficial to patients as the in-depth understanding helps them to discover personal approaches to maintaining optimal health.

NBR ascribes all its success to a nurturing culture that encourages collaboration within the team. To ensure continuous improvement in patient care, the group follows a highly democratized style where every radiologist gets a say in how services are rendered to patients. It also contributes significantly to their high retention rate.

The combination of diversified radiology services and experienced, subspecialized personnel enables NBR to deliver best-in-class radiological services. With the commitment to align with the latest advancements in treatment methodologies, NBR continues to stay ahead of the curve in the radiology space.
