XRAY / MEDICAL IMAGING

Our Radiology Department provides many services from ultrasounds to MRI.  Below is a list of services that we provide:

Computed Tomography (CT) creates detailed images of your body's internal organs using x-rays with computer technology.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create cross sectional images of your head, body, muscles, and blood flow.

Nuclear Medicine uses tiny amounts of radioactive materials introduced into the patients body to create images of the body.

Conventional Radiography Radiographs are taken by radiographic technologists upon order from the attending physician.  They are evaluated by the radiologist to help the attending physician diagnose and treat the patient.

Digital Fluoroscopy uses a continuous x-ray beam to create a sequence of images that are projected onto a monitor.  Digital Fluoroscopy frequently makes use of a contrast agent like barium.  These agents provide a white appearance on the image and as the agent moves through the exam area, generally an organ, the radiologist is able to track its path to evaluate the organ as it functions.

Ultrasound uses high frequency sounds waves to evaluate organs in the body and commonly to examine fetal development.

Digital Mammography is primarily used for screening patients for early detection of breast cancer, while diagnostic mammography follows patients with a suspected or know breast issue.  Digital mammography uses computers and specially designed digital detectors to produce an image that can be displayed on a high resolution computer monitor, and transmitted and stored like computer files.
