Imaging services we provide
Medical imaging at our hospital is designed to diagnose many different conditions, and our team of specialists is committed to delivering you the most accurate imaging results possible.
Types of medical imaging services
Whether your condition is musculoskeletal or an illness, we offer a variety of testing options to determine the proper diagnosis.
Computerized tomography angiography (CTA)
A CTA is an X-ray used to examine blood or lymph vessels to determine the extent and location of narrowed arteries. This test is particularly beneficial for diagnosing conditions associated with serious cardiovascular disorders, such as heart disease and stroke.
Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy uses an X-ray beam to produce real-time images of body structures. These imaging scans can detect a wide range of conditions affecting different parts of the body, including cancers.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
MRI scans use computers and magnetic fields to view the inner details of many areas of the body, including the abdomen, bile ducts, brain, breasts and musculoskeletal system.
Nuclear medicine
Nuclear medicine refers to the use of radioactive substances to detect various conditions and diseases. A widely used nuclear medicine technique is a positron emission tomography (PET) scan, in which radioactive material is used to reveal abnormal cell activity.
Ultrasound imaging
Ultrasound technology uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of body structures. For example, a cardiac ultrasound — also known as echocardiography — gives cardiologists a complete picture of the inside of the heart. Ultrasounds can be used to examine organs, muscles, tendons and blood vessels.
4D ultrasound
In addition to traditional ultrasounds, our outpatient imaging center has advanced 4D ultrasound technology. This ultrasound is often used during biopsies and for procedures related to women's health issues, such as:
- Breast health
- Obstetrics
- Pelvic health
Breast health diagnostics
Our imaging center includes a modern mammography suite, an ultrasound suite and a bone density testing suite. These private, dedicated imaging areas utilize the following services for diagnosing breast health conditions:
Bone density scans
Bone density scans use X-rays to measure bone density, helping doctors detect orthopedic issues like bone loss and osteoporosis. Bone density is related to estrogen production, so your doctor may recommend completing a bone density scan along with an annual mammogram.
Digital mammography
Digital mammography uses X-rays to examine the breasts. The precise results enable your medical team to detect abnormalities too small to be felt.
Stereotactic breast biopsy
If an abnormality is found during your mammogram, we may recommend a stereotactic breast biopsy. This procedure uses mammography technology to collect a breast tissue or cell sample to confirm the presence or extent of a disease.
