Dr. David S. Leder, Medical Director

The specialty of women’s health care has experienced tremendous growth ever since the medical community began recognizing that women have different health care needs than men.  This trend is expected to continue as the population’s life expectancy increases and the need for comprehensive health care for women beyond the reproductive years intensifies.  As women’s health centers spring up around the country, the subspecialty of women’s imaging is destined to grow.   The radiologist will play a critical role as the primary provider of women’s imaging services.

The movement for better women’s health care was spurred by a 1990 report that highlighted several inequities in women’s health care.  As the government began supporting women’s health care issues, female health consumers also started demanding changes to the way they receive medical care, including imaging.  Public surveys found that women desire providers who can offer a full range of services as well as physicians who have specialty training in women’s health care.  In addition, women stressed the importance of convenient hours, an attractive ambience within the center and community education.

In offering comprehensive services for women, Quakerbridge Radiology Associates Women’s Imaging Center provides the full range of imaging technology on-site.  Digital mammography with computer assisted diagnosis (CAD) and breast ultrasound are essential (Breast MRI is available at our Lawrenceville office).  In addition to breast imaging, we offer general radiography, bone densitometry, general ultrasonography, CT and MRI.  The center’s design features a calming, low stress environment within a comfortable, relaxed and private atmosphere.

Our staff within the women’s center plays a vital role in making patients feel satisfied with the treatment they receive.  The technologist can teach patients breast self-examination techniques on request and also will provide an explanation of procedures.  Within this supportive environment, it is important to make each of our patients feel that she is not being rushed, that any questions are being answered and that she is being provided with the quality of services that she seeks and deserves.  Our physicians are all American Board Certified with extensive experience in mammography and woman’s imaging.  Our services are accredited by the American College of Radiology and comply with MQSA standards.

QRA Women’s Imaging Center brings together medical expertise, innovative technology and comprehensive services to address the unique needs of women of all ages.  From adolescence through menopause, QRA is the place to turn to for the information and services you need to maintain your most precious possession – good health.

Give us a chance to exceed your expectations.
