Our Premier Imaging Services

Modern medicine relies on precise and advanced diagnostic tools. Our facility offers a range of services designed to provide accurate results and improve patient outcomes. From detailed scans to guided biopsies, we ensure every procedure is tailored to your needs.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Our MRI technology uses TIM (Total Imaging Matrix) for multi-organ imaging. This system reduces noise and enhances clarity, making it ideal for diagnosing complex conditions. Whether it’s brain, spine, or joint imaging, we deliver detailed results quickly and comfortably.

Computerized Tomography (CT) Scans

Our Siemens Somatom Definition AS CT scanner adapts to patient size, ensuring precise imaging for trauma assessments and pre-surgical planning. With 40-slice scanning, we capture high-resolution images in minutes. Learn more about our CT scans and their benefits.

Mammography

We offer both 2D and 3D mammography for breast cancer detection. Our CAD (Computer-Aided Detection) system double-checks results, improving accuracy. Studies show 3D imaging detects up to 41% more invasive cancers than traditional 2D methods.

Bone Density Testing

Using Hologic bone density scanners, we follow NOF guidelines to assess fracture risk. Our advanced algorithms detect early signs of osteoporosis, helping you take proactive steps for bone health.

FAQ

What is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues within the body. It’s a non-invasive procedure often used for diagnosing conditions in the brain, spine, and joints.

How does a CT scan differ from an MRI?

A CT scan uses X-rays to create cross-sectional images of the body, while an MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves. CT scans are faster and often used for bone imaging, while MRIs provide more detailed soft tissue images.

What should I expect during a mammogram?

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast used to detect early signs of breast cancer. During the procedure, the breast is compressed between two plates to capture clear images. It’s quick and essential for early diagnosis.

Are there any risks associated with imaging procedures?

Most imaging procedures, like ultrasound and MRI, are safe and non-invasive. CT scans involve minimal radiation exposure, but the benefits usually outweigh the risks. Your doctor will discuss any concerns before the exam.

How long does it take to get imaging results?

Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours. Your doctor will review the findings and discuss them with you during a follow-up appointment.

Do I need a referral for imaging services?

Yes, most imaging services require a referral from your healthcare provider. This ensures the right test is ordered based on your medical needs.

What should I wear for an MRI or CT scan?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal zippers or buttons. You may be asked to change into a gown to avoid interference with the imaging equipment.

Can I eat or drink before an imaging exam?

It depends on the type of exam. For some tests, like an ultrasound, you may need to fast. Your provider will give you specific instructions before your appointment.

How do radiologists interpret imaging results?

Radiologists are specialized doctors who analyze images to detect abnormalities or diseases. They use advanced technology and their expertise to provide accurate diagnoses for your healthcare team.
