Company History
The founder of Radiological Associates, Dr. Harold Zimmerman, came to Sacramento with this area’s first x-ray machine in 1917, a time when radiology was in its infancy. As Dr. Zimmerman’s practice grew over the years, additional radiologists joined him. Many new diagnostic and therapeutic radiology techniques were pioneered by this group, and it quickly became recognized as the outstanding radiology practice in the Sacramento Valley with bold and imaginative services. In 1947, the Radiation Oncology Centers of Sutter Hospital was opened, with the first million-volt therapeutic x-ray machine west of the Mississippi.
Throughout its history, Radiological Associates has introduced important new radiological methods to the Sacramento community, including:
State-of-the-art megavoltage radiation therapy
Diagnostic ultrasound
Lymphangiography
CT scanning
Full service neuroradiology
Catheter angiography
Computerized nuclear medicine procedures including Positron Emission Tomography
Radiological Associates has grown into a professional corporation of more than 1000 employees within three divisions. The group’s extensive capabilities and wide range of subspecialty - trained radiologists and radiation oncologists make Radiological Associates the premier radiology group in the Sacramento area.
In the early 1980s we bought the first CT body scanner to Sacramento and established the first intraoperative radiation therapy program in the western United States. As technology advanced in the 1990s, RAS introduced many new procedures to the area, including image-guided breast biopsies, which eliminated the need for a surgical procedure; gamma knife radiosurgery; and positron emission tomography (PET).
RAS continued to forge new ground as the new millennium approached, with prostate seed implants, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for cancer treatment, breast MRI and computer-aided detection on all mammograms.
Today RAS maintains that pioneering spirit with PET/CT fusion, image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and outpatient interventional radiology procedures including venous ablation, uterine artery embolization and vertebroplasty.
