imagingwest: Christopher Riedl, M.D., Ph.D.

If you ever need a Pet-Scan, this is your "go to" place. Very friendly and polite staff, neat and clean facility. I will go back here in the future if another scan is needed. Do not go to a hospital where you are ignored and treated as if you are on an assembly line.

The compassionate team at imagingwest in Hawthorne, New York, specializes in advanced positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging to diagnose cancer and dementia. Dual board-certified nuclear radiologist Christopher Riedl, MD, PhD, his experienced PET/CT technologists, and caring staff take pride in the precision of their diagnostic imaging while maintaining holistic, patient-centered care.

Referring physicians depend on a quick 24-hour report turnaround when needed. They can access diagnostic images from any electronic device, get real-time updates, access previous studies, and directly order the study online. While physicians have the convenience of electronic platforms, Dr. Riedl is always available to discuss patient results.

At imagingwest, each patient is more than just a number. Unlike large hospitals, the team gives patients 100% of their attention, energy, and care, including car transportation (within 25 miles of the office), high-quality imaging for lower costs than hospitals, and fast appointments.

Patients immediately notice the office’s modern, natural design. The team created an environment to help each person feel comfortable and relaxed, such as warm lighting, curated TV channels, massage chairs, calming music, and meditation art.

Dr. Riedl invests in the most innovative PET/CT technology, including scanners with the highest image quality while maintaining short scan times. He also uses the latest radiotracers.

For example, he offers the most recently approved radiopharmaceuticals, such as tracers for targeting estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer, prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and beta-amyloid brain plaque for dementia diagnostics. In addition to PET/CT scans, the team also performs CT scans, including low-dose scans for lung cancer screening.
