A Modern, Precision-Focused Breast Imaging Practice

Your clinical environment at Conway Medical Center is built for subspecialists who want to practice at the highest standards of breast imaging. From the moment you begin your day, you step into a workflow designed around efficiency, accuracy, and meaningful patient interaction. Your practice is more than interpreting images—you become the essential diagnostic anchor for every patient entering the breast health pathway, ensuring timely, compassionate, and expertly guided care.

The majority of your work—over 80%—is devoted to breast imaging. You’ll read a high volume of screening and diagnostic mammograms, including tomosynthesis, and leverage advanced modalities like breast ultrasound, breast MRI, PET/CT, and multimodality correlation to deliver clear and actionable results. Because the system is deeply invested in breast cancer care, your interpretations directly drive decision-making for surgeons, oncologists, and APPs relying on cohesive clinical insights.

A Procedural Practice That Enhances Your Diagnostic Impact

Your procedural work is just as significant. You’ll perform image-guided biopsies with modern tools and experienced staff support, allowing you to ensure patients receive answers with minimal delay. The triple assessment model—clinical exam, imaging, and tissue diagnosis—is embedded across the program, giving you the structured multidisciplinary alignment that elevates detection accuracy and reduces repeat imaging.

Clinical Scope & Daily Workflow

Your daily practice offers both intellectual variety and predictable structure, supported by the system’s robust imaging volumes:

  • 16,000+ annual mammograms
  • 13,000+ ultrasounds
  • 10,000 MRI studies
  • 500+ PET scans
  • 34,000 CT studies
  • Full spectrum of breast biopsies and image-guided procedures
  • Regular participation in breast tumor boards (held bi-weekly)
  • QA programs that give you a voice in protocol refinement and care consistency

With nighthawk coverage for general diagnostics, your time remains protected and dedicated to breast imaging—creating a clearer, more sustainable clinical rhythm compared to traditional radiology groups where subspecialists are often pulled into general reads.

Technology That Enhances Accuracy and Reduces Friction

CMC prioritizes technology that supports both clinical excellence and physician well-being. You’ll work with:

  • 3D mammography & tomosynthesis
  • Breast MRI with advanced sequences
  • Modern biopsy platforms
  • PET/CT scanners
  • 64-slice CT
  • Cerner EMR with Dragon dictation for smoother reporting

These systems are integrated to minimize redundancies and allow rapid correlation across modalities, making your workflow more intuitive and less burdensome than what many radiologists experience in fragmented imaging environments.

A Collaborative, Learning-Oriented Environment

You’ll frequently interface with surgeons, medical oncologists, and advanced practice providers who trust and depend on the precision of your reads. CMC hosts multiple tumor boards—breast, GI, ENT, and PCC—where your input shapes treatment pathways. ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs onsite also offer opportunities to teach when desired, creating a natural outlet for academic engagement without the pressure of an academic center’s workload.

  • Optional teaching with medical students and residents
  • Frequent interdisciplinary discussions that make your work visible and valued
  • Access to a comprehensive infusion center and onsite lab/pharmacy
  • Integrated ICU/CCU, trauma, and surgical teams for advanced diagnostic collaboration

Your clinical experience here centers around meaningful diagnostic work, state-of-the-art technology, and the kind of predictable, focused workflow that allows you to practice your subspecialty at its highest level without compromising balance or quality of life.
