- ObstetricsUltrasound, also known as sonography, uses a small transducer (probe) and ultrasound gel to create high-frequency sound waves. Echoes produced by the sound waves are recorded and displayed as real-time, visual images. Ultrasound is commonly used in obstetrics as well as breast, thyroid, renal, liver, scrotum, vascular, and other pelvic and abdominal imaging. Additionally, several biopsy procedures are done under ultrasound guidance. No ionizing radiation is involved in ultrasound imaging making it is safe for pregnant women and children.
- Internal MedicineDr. John J. Strobel grew up in Rexburg, Idaho. He received his Associates Degree at Ricks College and graduated with his Bachelors of Science and Medical Doctorate from Creighton University. While attending Creighton, he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. After completing his education, Dr. Strobel did residencies in Internal Medicine at Creighton University and Diagnostic Radiology at University of Nebraska. As a strong leader, Dr. Strobel served as Chief Resident during his residency at University of Nebraska. He has been affiliated with Regional West Medical Center in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Dr. Strobel joined Medical Imaging Associates in January 1997 specializing in Interventional Radiology.

- MRIUnlike other imaging techniques, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) does not use radiation, but rather radio waves and a powerful magnet to produce clear images of organs, structures and tissues inside the body. Hundreds of images taken one slice at a time offer an unparalleled look inside the body helping physicians and radiologists diagnose abnormalities, disease, trauma to internal tissue, and so on. MRI exams are extremely safe as long as strict precautions are taken regarding metal objects – including pacemakers, prostheses, implants (stents, shunts, screws, pins, plates, surgical staples), body piercings and jewelry. Teton Radiology uses a 3T MRI. The “T” refers to Tesla, a unit of measurement. A magnet with strength measured at 3 Tesla is approximately 60,000 times the earth’s magnetic field. What does this mean for patients? Quicker scan times and clearer images to make a more accurate diagnosis, but safety always comes first. Please notify Teton Radiology if a patient has an implant of any kind, prior surgeries, or has been welding or grinding metal. Want a more accurate diagnosis? Teton Radiology’s 3T MRI provides physicians with some of the highest resolution images in the industry. It also offers patients quicker scan times than most MRI scanners on the market. Clearer images and faster scan time at no additional cost...that’s what we call superior patient care.
- RadiologyTeton Radiology has played an important role in the medical community since 1985 offering superior patient care then and maintaining unsurpassed standards today.

- Nuclear MedicineMedical Imaging Associates is pleased to introduce a select group of radiologists who offer an array of expertise in Neuroradiology, Body Imaging, Musculoskeletal Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, General Radiology, Cardiac Imaging, & Breast Imaging. Their education & practical backgrounds come together from across the country. The physicians that make up Medical Imaging Associates attended distinguished schools and were instructed in rigorous programs graduating top of their classes. Medical Imaging Associates has provided a wealth of knowledge & resources to the medical community for over fifty years & counting.
- MammographyMammography uses a low-dose x-ray system to examine the breasts and aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases. While you can’t prevent breast cancer, you can take steps to find it early.
- Computed TomographyComputed Tomography (CT or CAT) is a noninvasive, painless imaging exam used to help diagnose and treat an array of medical conditions. CT scans are similar to conventional x-rays, but provide better clarity of internal organs, bone, soft tissue and blood vessels. Numerous x-ray beams and a set of electronic x-ray detectors rotate around you, measuring the amount of radiation being absorbed throughout your body. At the same time, the examination table is moving through the scanner, so the x-ray beam follows a spiral path. A special computer program processes this series of pictures, or “slices”, to create two-dimensional cross-sectional images which are then displayed on a monitor. Enhancements in detector technology allow modern CT scanners to obtain multiple slices in a single rotation. These scanners are called “multi slice CT” enabling multiple, thinner slices to be acquired in a shorter period of time, resulting in more detail and additional view capability.
- Interventional Radiology“Many conditions that once required surgery can be treated less invasively by interventional radiologists. Interventional radiology treatments offer less risk, less pain and less recovery time compared to open surgery.”
