- Fluoroscopy Procedure Interpretation: Interpreting real-time X-ray imaging (fluoroscopy) used during procedures like barium studies (GI tract), hysterosalpingograms, or to guide certain injections.
- Bone Densitometry (DEXA) Scan Interpretation: Analyzing DEXA scans to measure bone mineral density, assess osteoporosis risk, and monitor treatment effectiveness.
- Mammography and Breast Imaging Interpretation: Expert review and reporting of mammograms (including tomosynthesis/3D mammography) and breast ultrasound for cancer screening, diagnosis, and follow-up.
- Computed Tomography (CT) Scan Interpretation: Detailed review and reporting of cross-sectional CT images for evaluating trauma, cancer staging, vascular disease, infections, and other complex conditions throughout the body.
- Ultrasound Interpretation (Sonography): Evaluation and reporting of diagnostic ultrasound images for assessing organs (e.g., liver, kidneys, thyroid, reproductive organs), blood flow, pregnancies, and musculoskeletal conditions.
Note: This list provides an overview of common radiology services. Dr. Janoski interprets a wide range of medical imaging studies and/or performs procedures as indicated by your referring physician. Specific subspecialty services depend on the physician's focus and training.

- Are imaging studies interpreted by Dr. Janoski covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?
- Medically necessary diagnostic imaging studies interpreted by a Radiologist like Dr. Janoski are typically covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB when prescribed by your referring physician and performed at an accredited medical facility. Some advanced or specialized interventional procedures may also be covered. It's always best to confirm specific coverage details with Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) or the imaging clinic/hospital.
- Do I need a referral from my doctor to have an imaging study interpreted by Dr. Janoski?
- Yes, almost all diagnostic imaging tests (like X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasounds) and interventional radiology procedures require a formal request or requisition from your family doctor, specialist, or other authorized healthcare provider. Dr. Janoski provides expert interpretation of these physician-ordered studies.
- What does a Radiologist actually do? Do they take the pictures?
- A Radiologist (like Dr. Janoski) is a medical doctor who has completed extensive specialty training in interpreting all types of medical images (X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, etc.) to diagnose diseases and injuries. They provide a written report of their findings to your doctor. While skilled technologists operate the imaging equipment to take the pictures, the Radiologist is the expert physician who analyzes these images to provide a diagnosis. Some Radiologists (Interventional Radiologists) also perform image-guided minimally invasive procedures.
- What's the difference between an MRI and a CT scan?
- Both are advanced imaging tests, but they use different technologies. CT (Computed Tomography) scans use X-rays and a computer to create detailed cross-sectional images; they are excellent for bone, lungs, abdomen, and detecting acute bleeding. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create highly detailed images of soft tissues like the brain, spine, joints, and internal organs, without using ionizing radiation. Dr. Janoski or your referring doctor will determine which test is best for your specific medical question.
- What is Interventional Radiology?
- Interventional Radiology is a subspecialty of radiology where physicians use medical imaging (like X-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI) to guide minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis (e.g., biopsies) or treatment of a wide range of conditions in nearly every organ system. These procedures are often alternatives to open surgery. Dr. Janoski specializes in these image-guided procedures.
