MS Awareness Week
We know that MS affects each person and family differently.
It can be unpredictable and isolating. In honor of MS Awareness week, we are sharing
diverse and powerful solutions that defy MS.
Together we will change the world — together
we are stronger than MS.
- Here are a few of the ways people are overcoming the challenges of living with MS:
- A woman in Orlando builds an innovative mechanism that allows her husband, who relies on his power chair for mobility, to stand tall and proud on his own for a few hours each day.
- A single mother of five coaches football because it’s rewarding and funny, and reminds her of the team that it takes to face the challenges of MS.
- A woman with progressive MS manages fatigue by swimming nearly every day to revive body, mind and spirit.
- A sculptor who can no longer stand independently uses a weight belt strapped to each side of his sculpting table to keep him upright while crafting beautiful marble creations.
Find these and other innovative solutions, and add your own, here.
We also hope to see you at the MS Walk on May 21st
at Jones Beach, where Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology will be supporting all
participants.

Coram Office Now Open!

Zwanger-Pesiri
Radiology Features Both 3T and Open-Sided MRI Machines in New Coram Office
Radiology
Practice Opens 20th Location on Long Island
Coram,
NY - On February 9, 2016, Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology opened
its newest office at 347 Middle Country Road in Coram. This is Zwanger-Pesiri’s 20th office
overall and their 13th facility in Suffolk County. Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology provides the most
advanced technology to its patients, and this office will be the first
radiology facility on Long Island to feature both a 3T MRI machine and a 1.2T Open-Sided
MRI machine under one roof.
Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology prides itself on being a
patient-centric practice and these two MRI units are the most progressive of
their kind with the ability to comfortably accommodate almost all patients. The 3T MRI system has long been regarded as
the best medical imaging device available, as it provides incomparable images,
short exam times, and is large enough to accommodate patients weighing up to
550 pounds. The Oasis Open-Sided MRI machine
can accommodate patients weighing up to 660 pounds and is meant to create a relaxing
environment for people who cannot comfortably receive a standard MRI exam due
to their size or fear of tight spaces.
This Open-Sided MRI unit also offers the patient an unobstructed view
for almost every exam it performs, while still allowing for high quality
images. The new Coram office is the
first location where the Oasis 1.2T and 3T MRI machines will be available in
one location. Coram will also offer CT,
PET/CT, 3D Mammography, DEXA Bone Density scans, X-ray, and Ultrasound on the
most cutting-edge equipment available.
Throughout the company’s expansion, Zwanger-Pesiri
Radiology has become well-known for consistently upgrading their equipment and
providing fast turnaround time of results.
They employ over 50 subspecialty-trained radiologists who only read
studies within their field of expertise, leading to better and more definitive results;
80% of which are finalized within one hour of the exam time. The results and images of exams performed at any
Zwanger-Pesiri facility are made available to their patients on the Patient
Portal, while also being sent to the referring physicians. Patients can then securely fax or email their
information to additional physicians with just a few clicks.

ZP Loves Hearts!
In honor of February, we at Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology want to
remind you of the services we can provide you and your cardiac health.
CT Calcium
Scoring
Performed in Lynbrook, Merrick, Lindenhurst, West Islip, Plainview and Stony Brook
Calcium scoring is a noninvasive way to view your coronary arteries and help identify the location and extent of calcified plaque
A buildup of plaque may indicate coronary artery disease (CAD) which can narrow arteries, reduce blood flow to the heart, and lead to an increased risk for heart attack
The scan is designed for undiagnosed people and can show whether you're at risk before symptoms occur
Echocardiograms
Performed in Massapequa, Medford and Smithtown East
A non-invasive and painless sonogram of the heart which exposes the patient to no radiation
Zwanger-Pesiri is ICAEL Accredited for Echocardiography
Identifies cardiac tumors, masses and endocarditis, as well as wall thickness, congenital defects and heart anatomy
Nuclear
Stress Test
Performed in Massapequa
Measures blood flow to the heart muscle and evaluates heart function during rest and exercise
Determines the need for coronary CTA or cardiac catheterization
Identifies blocked coronary arteries and evaluates efficacy of prior coronary bypass grafts and angioplasty
Cardiac MRI
Performed in East Setauket
A non-invasive exam that does not expose you to any radiation
A cardiac MRI is used to evaluate the anatomy and function of the heart, valves and major blood vessels, as well as the surrounding structures and the effects of coronary artery disease
A cardiac MRI is also used when the results from a nuclear stress test or echocardiogram are unclear
Coronary CT
Angiography
Performed in Lynbrook, Plainview, Smithtown East, Stony Brook and West Islip
Creates complete images of blood vessels in heart, as well as other body parts such as the lungs, kidneys, arms and legs
Detects narrowed coronary arteries which increase the risk of heart attack
Low radiation, no incision, no catheterization and extremely short scan times
Recommended for symptomatic patients with unclear nuclear stress test results, and patients with a family history cardiovascular disease
