27 Park Street Hyannis MA, 02601About
Dr. Damian Dupuy is a radiologist practicing at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, MA . Dr. Dupuy specializes in diagnosing and treating cancer patients and diseases using minimally invasive image-guided techniques whereby small needle-like devices are placed into tumors and create intense heat or cold to destroy cancerous tumors. These techniques can be performed as alternatives to surgery or radiation and are done as outpatients with nothing more than a band-aid on the skin at the end of the procedure.

Are there any side effects of iodine contrast?
Allergic reactions and side effects from iodinated contrast media are very uncommon with modern day formulations. READ MORE
Is an MRI used to diagnose kidney stones?
No, CT is better. READ MORE
Is chemotherapy different for urethral cancer?
Chemotherapy differs just like pesticides and herbicides. Some work for some cancers and some for others. READ MORE
I have persistent cough, however my doctor says there is no need for a X-ray. Should I still go for one?
A chest X-ray is more sensitive at detecting lung abnormalities than a stethoscope. READ MORE
My sons's lung X-ray shows a different condition than it originally did. Why?
X-rays show changes in tissue density. Patterns of density can have many different causes. Sometimes pneumonia can look like a tumor or fluid and sometimes a tumor or fluid can look like pneumonia. A CAT scan can provide more specific information than a chest X-ray, and even then, sometimes a biopsy would need to be performed to find out the cause. Dr. Dupuy READ MORE
My abdominal X-ray look a little hazy. What could this indicate?
If you continue to have abdominal pain, you should get a CAT scan with oral and IV contrast media. Haziness could be fluid, lack of bowel gas, or a mass. READ MORE
Open MRI
Open MRI scanners tend to have weaker field strength magnets. This means there is less signal to noise to generate images of your body. You can use the analogy of the cell phone camera on a flip phone compared to the latest one on an Iphone X. If you want to have the best anatomic detail of your brain, spine, or body, a higher field strength magnet will provide higher quality images. READ MORE
How effective is radiation therapy in liver cancer?
It depends what kind of liver cancer and where it is located and if it has spread beyond the liver or originated outside of the liver and spread to the liver. Internal radioactive beads placed via the artery feeding the tumor or external radiation have both been used for certain liver cancers. READ MORE
