NM radiology refers to radiology services within the state of New Mexico. This encompasses a broad range of medical imaging techniques, including but not limited to:
- Nuclear Medicine: A specialized area of radiology using small amounts of radioactive materials to diagnose and treat diseases. This is exemplified by nuclear cardiology testing, which provides detailed information about heart structure and function (https://www.nm.org/conditions-and-care-areas/imaging-services, https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diagnostics/4902-nuclear-medicine-imaging, https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/nuclear-medicine, https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/nuclear-medicine, https://nyulangone.org/care-services/nuclear-medicine-imaging). Nuclear medicine utilizes radioactive tracers to produce images showing organ function and structure (https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/nuclear-medicine). Licensing for administering nuclear medicine is handled by the state (https://www.env.nm.gov/rcb/medical-imaging-radiation-therapy-program/).
- Other Modalities: Many radiology practices in New Mexico offer a wide array of diagnostic imaging procedures covering all standard radiology modalities (https://xranm.com/). Examples include X-rays, MRI, and Mammography (https://www.raaonline.com/).
Several institutions in New Mexico provide radiology services and education, including the University of New Mexico School of Medicine (https://hsc.unm.edu/medicine/departments/radiology/, https://hsc.unm.edu/medicine/departments/radiology/education/radiologic-sciences/). These services are committed to providing excellent patient care throughout New Mexico and the Southwest (https://hsc.unm.edu/medicine/departments/radiology/).
