Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic Imaging offers a complete state-of-the-art Imaging Department. Our technical support staff have an uncommon dedication to patient care and comfort. This allows the highest quality diagnostic medical imaging standards while providing the highest level of concern for our patients. We are constantly striving to offer new services to our patients and physicians alike.
Bone Densitometry (Dexa)
Uses low dose x-ray to measure your bone mineral density. The technology is dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Some bone loss is expected with aging, but severe bone loss or Osteoporosis is a dangerous disease. The bones most likely to break are the hip, spine and forearm. You can have a spine fracture and not know it. They are often painless. Hip fractures are painful and debilitating. Osteoporosis can be treated and it’s progress slowed.
Computed Tomography (CT)
CT Machine
Computed Tomography, also known as computed axial tomography (CAT), is medical technology that uses X-ray and computers to produce three-dimensional images of the human body. Unlike traditional X-rays, which are used primarily for dense body parts, such as bones, CT provides detailed views of the body’s soft tissues, including blood vessels, muscle tissue, and organs, such as the brain.
Digital Mammography
Digital mammography differs from conventional mammography in how the image of the breast is viewed and, more importantly, manipulated. The radiologist can magnify the images, increase or decrease the contrast and invert the black and white values while reading the images. These features allow the radiologist to better evaluate microcalcifications and focus on areas of concern.
Echocardiology
We are proud to offer Echocardiology services to the community. Our Technical staff is highly trained and dedicated to providing the best care and services for you.
We have Digital Imaging utilizing the Philips 5500 Ultrasound machine in conjunction with the Ecelera Digital platform.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Our Philips Intera MRI unit is one of the latest models on the market. Patients can now listen to music while lying comfortable on the table. You are welcome to bring your own CD to listen to (unless you are having a brain MRI)
MRI uses a very strong magnet to acquire images of the body.
