Defiance Clinic Welcomes New Radiology Specialists

• Defiance Clinic has enhanced and expanded its radiology services through association with the specialists of Consulting Radiologists Corporation (CRC), of Toledo.

  
  

  CRC is a group of 11 radiologists, many with fellowship training in subspecialized areas of radiology. Each practices general diagnostic radiology and each also has a particular area of interest and expertise.

  
  

  CRC is providing three board-certified radiologists for full-time coverage for Defiance Clinic and Mercy Hospital of Defiance. They are: David M. Glowacki, M.D., Don L. Cox, M.D., and Bruce R. Siders, D.O. The on-site physicians will also be consulting with their partners via the Internet.

  
  

  “This is an experienced group with a wide range of advanced training and expertise that will benefit our patients,” said Allen L. Gaspar, M.D., chairman of the board of Defiance Clinic.

  
  

  Added Dr. Siders, who is also medical director of CRC’s private imaging center, “Defiance Clinic has high end Radiology equipment and a top-notch staff as evidenced by their accreditation by the American College of Radiology, not only for digital mammography, but also for numerous additional services. That’s quite an achievement, and we look forward to building on this excellent foundation.”

  
  

  The Radiology Department is ACR-accredited in breast ultrasound, CT (computed tomography), mammography, nuclear medicine, and ultrasound. The department also provides radiography, fluoroscopy, and MRI. An additional service, PET (positron emission tomography) is provided in a mobile unit in cooperation with Mid-American Imaging, Inc.

  
  

  Dr. Siders’ special interests include musculoskeletal radiology, body imaging, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), computed tomography angiography (CTA), high field 3T MRI, and screening studies. Dr. Glowacki’s interests are gastrointestinal radiology, body and musculoskeletal MRI, CT and screening studies including virtual colonoscopy. Dr. Cox also trained as an interventional radiologist in addition to his interests in MRI, CT, nuclear medicine, mammography, body imaging and general radiology.

  
  

  “We will also be able to confer with colleagues at other facilities virtually, that is by sharing digital images via the Internet whenever that is in the patient’s best interest,” Dr. Siders explained. “We have colleagues with expertise in wide range of fields from ultrasound and nuclear studies to adult and pediatric neuroradiology.”
