Radiation Oncology Specialists - Robert A Belgam

Our Specialists offer a wide variety of imaging-guided procedures to diagnose and treat medical conditions. This includes catheter placement, biopsy, fluid drainage, stent and filter placement, vascular angioplasty embolization and thrombolysis, TIPS (Transjugular Porto-Systemic Shunt) placement, injections for pain management, minimally invasive procedures for treating spine fractures (kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty) and administration of radioactive microspheres for cancer treatment.

This technique uses an x-ray producing devise to safely and painlessly deliver precise radiation doses to a tumor while minimizing the dose to surrounding normal tissue. A non-surgical radiation therapy used to treat small tumors of the brain. It delivers precisely-targeted radiation in fewer treatments than traditional therapy, which can help preserve healthy tissue.

When it comes to your health, appropriate imaging and accurate interpretation is key. Our 21 board-certified Physicians interpret over 250,000 cases per year, and adhere to strict quality and safety standards advocated by the American College of Radiology. We also place importance on helping to educate patients more about the Radiology services available to them.

Our Radiologists have taken the appropriate pledges to Image Wisely (adults) and Image Gently (children). The American College of Radiology (ACR) advises that no imaging exam should be performed unless there is a clear medical benefit that outweighs any associated risk. The ACR supports the 'as low as reasonably achievable' (ALARA) concept which urges providers to use the minimum level of radiation needed in imaging exams to achieve the necessary results.

Radiology Associates of Appleton understands the importance of being accessible to referring providers for consults and other issues related to patient care. Our radiologists are available in house from 7:00am - 11:00pm to help our medical colleagues answer questions, review clinical information, and discuss guidance on any additional testing that may be necessary.
