Dr. Greg Carbone relocated to North Carolina from Arlington, Virginia where he was on staff at Georgetown University as an Assistant Professor of Radiology. Dr. Carbone received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1994. He then completed a residency in Diagnostic Radiology at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and another residency in Nuclear Medicine at State University of New York at Buffalo. He then went on to complete a fellowship in Abdominal Imaging at Georgetown University.

Dr. Carbone will complement Lincoln Medical Center’s Radiology Department with his experience and expertise in the interpretation of MRI, CT, Nuclear Medicine, mammography, bone densitometry for osteoporosis, ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound and diagnostic radiology. Coinciding with the Charlotte Radiology affiliation, Lincoln Medical Center has made significant technological advances in its department of radiology with the purchase of a new CT scanner, which scans the entire body in less than 40 seconds, and a new nuclear medicine camera, the finest method for detection of heart and lung disease.

At the beginning of the year, Lincoln Medical Center replaced two ultrasound machines. A state-of-the-art GE Logiq 9 ultrasound machine will allow the radiology department to perform echo cardiography, abdominal and arterial vascular studies and a Vivid 7 machine will serve as a backup for cardiac and vascular ultrasound.
“Our new ultrasound machines deliver crisper digital images with better penetration of the organs and tissues. With the combination of Dr. Carbone and Charlotte Radiology providing full diagnostic radiology services and these new machines, we have the same technology and medical expertise here that large medical centers offer,” says John Shelton, Lincoln Medical Center’s Radiology Director.

Charlotte Radiology was founded in 1967, and currently has 60 physicians on staff in Mecklenburg, Union, Anson, Richmond, Swain and Jackson Counties. Recently it expanded the practice into South Carolina’s Chesterfield General Hospital
and Marlboro Park Hospital in Cheraw and Bennettsville, respectively. The affiliation with Charlotte Radiology provides communities, such as Lincolnton, with 24 hour subspecialized radiological interpretations and consultations via teleradiology.
