I enjoy the intellectual challenge of evaluating, diagnosing, and often treating a wide variety of disease processes. Interventional Radiology provides ample opportunities to perform hands-on procedures, thus enabling the practitioner to take a more active role in patient management and outcome.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization has developed into an excellent alternative to hysterectomy in women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. UFE is less invasive, uses conscious sedation and involves significantly less post-procedure recovery. The vast majority of patients receive complete or near-complete symptom relief.

By keeping current with the latest technological advances in imaging, I'm able to tailor examinations for each patient and maximize my ability to provide an accurate diagnosis. Performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures also affords me the opportunity to interact with patients and take an active role in their care.

The practice of radiology, especially with a focus on women's imaging, allows for a unique opportunity to blend our knowledge of science and medicine with our understanding of humanity. I am dedicated to providing the highest quality service without losing sight of the human element vital to maintaining a patient-centered experience. I am privileged to work within an organization that shares the same philosophy and approach to caring for the people of our community.

Imaging has become paramount in diagnosis in all medical fields, and the neurologic field is no exception. Newer and better CT and MR imaging techniques have led to improved detection and differentiation of stroke, tumors and a host of other neurologic disorders. This, in turn, impacts surgical planning, and can often spare patients from unnecessary invasive procedures. Exciting new imaging techniques will continue to be unveiled in neuroradiology, and I look forward to bringing these into the practice to continually improve patient care.

Interventional Radiology as a specialty remains inextricably anchored to the forefront of modern medicine, with an established track record of delivering innovative solutions to complex medical issues across virtually all organ systems. In caring for patients, we offer a glimpse at the future of medicine, with minimally invasive interventions tailored to individual patients, utilizing cutting edge technology, and state-of-the-art image guidance. I value working alongside physicians of all specialties to identify solutions for each unique patient, and am grateful for the opportunity to apply my expertise to the care of patients in the Baton Rouge community.

Interventional Radiologists specialize in performing minimally invasive procedures using imaging guidance," Dr. Black says. "We are able to treat a wide variety of conditions including malignancies, biliary diseases, reproductive health and vascular diseases. As technology continues to progress, we are excited to be able to provide our patients with new and innovative treatments.

As a general radiologist, I review studies of multiple modalities covering all of the human anatomy. I am energized by the challenging work of solving the puzzle, if you will, that each patient presents to me.
Woman's Hospital Main Campus
For the past 19 years I have specialized in the imaging of women and children in our community. My favorite aspect of practicing is my interaction with my patients and their families. From performing biopsies to discussing results with patients, radiology to me is much more than interpreting images all day. It is the opportunity to touch the lives of our patients and make their medical experience better. I love that!

I find abdomen and pelvis imaging fascinating as it encompasses many organ systems with a variety of disease processes. I enjoy using multiple different imaging modalities to formulate accurate diagnoses, which in turn help to direct a patient's treatment. I feel privileged to be a part of a healthcare team providing high quality care to patients in the Baton Rouge community.

For more than 15 years of practicing I've watched Medical Imaging evolve into the diverse, high-tech field it is today. Radiology Associates has always been committed to excellence and I am proud to be part of what has become a vital element of patient care.

Radiology is considered one of the most technical of all of the medical specialties, and my background in biomedical engineering has proven to be very beneficial in my day-to-day practice as I use technology to help individual patients. The members of Radiology Associates continually strive to maintain the highest standards as they integrate the most advanced, state of the art medical imaging services for referring physicians and patients with individualized, personal care.
Our Lady of the Lake RMC
It takes real dedication to be able to offer modern interventional services because they're 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It requires a great team effort, and that's one of the greatest qualities of our interventional team at Our Lady of the Lake. We have to know about all disease processes because radiology is such a broad-spectrum specialty. I particularly enjoy performing the therapeutic procedures in interventional radiology, such as Yttrium-90 radioembolization for liver cancer, because we can really make an impact on our patient's quality of life and survival.

Modern imaging techniques have become increasingly important in diagnosing disorders of the musculoskeletal system," Dr. Malone says. "My interest in this subspecialty began while working as a Battalion Surgeon to treat the sports and training injuries of my Marines and to restore them to full duty. I saw how both noninvasive imaging and minimally invasive therapeutic procedures accurately guided treatment and added value to patient care. The irreplaceable value of high quality musculoskeletal imaging holds true for a wide range of other disorders across all age groups.

The field of radiology, and particularly my specialty of Women's Imaging, has brought me much joy as current innovations and technology are interwoven with one-on-one patient care. As a breast imager, every patient touches my life and I continue to grow as a person and physician because of these encounters each day. I am dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to our patients and am proud to serve the people of Baton Rouge and surrounding communities.
Woman's Hospital Main Campus
With over 25 years of specialized experience in the imaging of women and children, I have been blessed to witness major technological change in radiology. From the introduction of MRI to major improvements in CT and ultrasound technology, to the replacement of film by digital imaging, improved image quality and resolution allow us to see into the human body with remarkable clarity.
Our Lady of the Lake RMC
Since Our Lady of the Lake is committed to affording state of the art diagnostic equipment on par with that of major hospitals in Chicago and with the Texas Medical Center, our practice has been able to implement the latest MRI protocols used in major academic centers. Currently we offer many specialized MRI exams of the liver, pancreas, male and female reproductive organs, bowel and colon, bones and muscles, and brain and spine. We are also the only regional center to offer cardiac MRI, which produces 3D movies of the beating heart. And all this is without the use of ionizing radiation, placing our hospital on the forefront of "gentle imaging" for both adults and children.

I have practiced diagnostic radiology at Woman's Hospital since 1995. In that time, I have witnessed technology evolve to benefit the health and well-being of women, infants, and children in the Baton Rouge community. With the addition of digital mammography and breast MRI, we have been able to further advance our mission of early detection of breast cancer. I am proud to be a part of it!
