Pediatric Care
RAI, formerly known as Radiology Affiliates of Central New Jersey, is a 38-physician radiology imaging practice serving New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware for over 50 years. RAI is one of the largest and most prestigious medical diagnostic imaging centers in the region. RAI physicians are board certified with subspecialties in neuroradiology, musculoskeletal, pediatrics and women's diagnostic imaging. RAI provides radiology services for 3 outpatient imaging centers, eight regional hospitals and ten hospital outpatient centers performing over 900,000 procedures each year.
Emergency Care
When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.

Kidney Stones
Doctors rely on laboratory testing and medical imaging to diagnose kidney stones. When the patient's symptoms and laboratory tests suggest kidney stones, doctors would turn to medical imaging to determine the number and location of those stones. For many years, computed tomography (CT) scans have been the go-to imaging test when it comes to di...

Prostate Cancer
The prostate gland is a walnut-sized gland located between the penis and the bladder that produces a special fluid that surrounds and protects sperm during ejaculation. Each year in the U.S., about 161,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed, according to data from the American Cancer Society, and nearly 27,000 deaths occur as a result of prostate cancer.

Like many medical screening tests, lung cancer screening is used in men and women who are more likely to be at risk for developing the disease, including those who...

Ultrasound
Also called EVLA or EVLT, endovenous laser ablation is a minimally-invasive procedure that uses lasers to shrink varicose veins, precisely damaging the lining of veins so blood flow is prevented. EVLA uses a very thin fiber that's inserted through a tiny opening in the affected vein. As the fiber is carefully advanced through the damaged vein, it fires off a controlled “stream” of laser energy, creating controlled damage to the vein lining. EVLA is typically performed in conjunction with ultrasound technology, which is used to track the location of the fiber to ensure the laser energy is targeted with utmost precision for greater accuracy and optimal results.
MRI
RAI offers weekend appointments for MRI and CT at both our Hamilton and Lawrenceville locations. We are happy to now offer appointments for MRI with contrast and CT with contrast on Saturdays (8am - 12pm) at our Lawrenceville location.
Radiology
We understand you may have concerns and want to give you peace of mind, so you know what to expect before and during your appointment. Radiology Affiliates Imaging will follow the below safety measures.

Mammography
Also called digital breast tomosynthesis, 3-D mammography uses a special approach to enable highly-detailed images of the breast tissue to be captured. RAI is proud to be the first to offer 3D Mammography in Mercer County in an effort to improve breast cancer screening and prevention. 3D mammography is performed in conjunction with traditional mammography; once the 2D images have been made, a special x-ray arm sweeps over the curve of the breast, emitting x-rays as it progresses to make a series of images of thin slices of breast tissue that can be examined individually, viewed as a dynamic interactive animation or combined using special software to produce three-dimensional images of the interior of the breast.
Computed Tomography
Calcium scoring is a diagnostic imaging system that uses CT (computed tomography) scans of the coronary arteries to detect the presence of calcified plaque, a substance that builds up inside the artery walls and hardens, making it difficult for oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart. This buildup of calcified plaque in artery walls is called atherosclerosis, or “hardening” of the arteries. When calcified plaques occur in the coronary arteries, the condition is called coronary artery disease, or CAD, which is a leading cause of heart attack and death. During calcium scoring, the amount of calcium in the coronary arteries is measured and a score is obtained that can help determine an individual's risk for heart attack or heart disease.
Chemotherapy
Ports offer several advantages over IVs for patients with long-term care needs. First, a port can be left in place for a long period of time – even years, if necessary. Ports enable administration of a much broader range of medications compared to IVs, which are not ideal for administration of some types of medications. Once a port is placed, it can be used to take blood samples over time to monitor the effectiveness of treatment, eliminating the need for multiple needle jabs. And because they're concealed beneath the skin, ports are far less prone to infection compared to IVs that have openings on the skin's surface. Ports are used in patients who require ongoing medical treatments that include regular administration of medications directly to the blood vessels, including chemotherapy, kidney dialysis and nutrition therapy for bowel or digestive tract diseases.
Interventional Radiology
The following procedures are performed by our Interventional Radiology team at designated hospitals. Click on each procedure to learn more.

General Surgery
Traditionally treated with surgery, today's advances in radiologic treatments have resulted in minimally-invasive approaches that provide effective treatments for varicoceles without long and uncomfortable recovery periods or the risks associated with general surgery. Percutaneous embolization uses a tiny incision, usually in your groin, that allows a thin, hollow tube or catheter to be carefully guided to the varicocele. Image-guidance using fluoroscopy or a similar technique will be used to guide placement of the catheter. Once the catheter is in place, a special solution or tiny coils are released to create controlled scarring that blocks blood flow in the varicocele, diverting blood flow to other vessels. Once the procedure is complete, the catheter will be withdrawn and the incision will be covered with a special dressing. No sutures are needed, and you can return home soon after the procedure is complete, resuming most activities within about 24 hours. Percutaneous varicocele embolization is usually performed under sedation or local anesthetic (or both) without the need for general anesthesia and the risks it can involve.
Joint Replacement
MRIs may be used to assess a joint prior to complete or partial joint replacement surgery or to assess the spine prior to spinal fusion or other spine surgery.
