Imaging Services Offered at this Location
CT (Computed Tomography) Scan
A CT scan takes Xray images of a body from multiple angles and produces a detailed view of the patients bones, organs and blood vessels. It’s a non invasive procedure that helps doctors diagnose problems.
MRI Services
A non-invasive, painless procedure in which radio waves and a magnetic field are assisted by a computer to create remarkably clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues without the use of radiation. Including knee (acl & mcl) MRI, head scan MRI, prostate MRI, cancer MRI.
Vascular Ultrasound
A non-invasive imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of vessels within the body. Vascular Ultrasound is commonly used to evaluate veins and arteries in the arms, legs and neck.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Medicine exams are non-invasive tests that are frequently done first before more invasive procedures are performed, such as biopsies or surgeries
Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy is a procedure that uses a special table and x-ray tube along with contrast material to view organs that would normally not show up on a regular x-ray.
Interventional Radiology
Interventional Radiology, uses minimally-invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system by guiding tiny catheters and other instruments through the blood vessels and other pathways.
PET/CT Imaging
PET images contain information about tissue function. PET uses a radioactive isotope that absorbs into tissue, and visualizes highly metabolic diseased cells. This is used to diagnose malignant tumors, measure cancer growth as well as evaluate neurological disorders.
Ultrasound
A non-invasive imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures within the body.
Vascular Ultrasound
A non-invasive imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of vessels within the body. Vascular Ultrasound is commonly used to evaluate veins and arteries in the arms, legs and neck.
X-Rays
The most commonly used imaging technique in radiology. To make a radiograph, a part of the body is exposed to a very small quantity of x-rays. The x-rays pass through the tissues, striking a film to create an image. We offer Walk-In X-rays.
