MRI is a painless imaging technique that uses a strong cylindrical-shaped magnet, radio waves, and a computer to create images inside the body. The strong magnetic field provides an environment in which harmless radio waves sent from the MRI to the patient’s body cause the protons in the latter to emit a radio frequency response back to the machine.
CT scanning pairs traditional x-ray technology with a computer to create a detailed image of a person’s body in a very short amount of time.
A mammogram is an imaging procedure that uses x-ray technology to detect abnormalities in breast tissue. Mammography plays an important part in the early detection of breast cancer. Please see our dedicated women’s section (below) for more information.
Bone densitometry, also known as DEXA, is a test that uses x-rays to determine bone mineral density.
A radiograph, also known as an x-ray, is a painless and non-invasive imaging procedure that uses ionizing radiation (x-rays) to produce an image of the inside of one’s body. X-rays are electromagnetic waves like radio waves or light waves, only stronger. They can pass through most objects, whereas light waves cannot.
Fluoroscopy is a study of moving body structures–similar to an X-ray “movie.” A continuous X-ray beam is passed through the body part being examined. The beam is transmitted to a TV-like monitor so that the body part and its motion can be seen in detail. Fluoroscopy, as an imaging tool, enables physicians to look at many body systems, including the skeletal, digestive, urinary, respiratory, and reproductive systems.
Ultrasound imaging, also known as sonography, is a procedure that uses harmless high-frequency sound waves to produce an image of inside the body. The patient is not exposed to any radiation in an ultrasound exam. Ultrasound imaging is particularly useful because it allows for real-time imaging of the movement of the body’s internal organs, as well as fluids flowing through the body.
Nuclear medicine imaging uses small amounts of radioactive material, a special camera and a computer to create images of the inside of your body. It provides unique information that often cannot be obtained using other imaging procedures to help diagnose many types of cancers, heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological disorders and other health conditions. Because nuclear medicine procedures are able to pinpoint molecular activity within the body, they may detect disease in its earliest stages when it is most easily treated.
Great staff and facilities. Best place to go for your imaging needs!!!
