Diagnostic imaging services
Our hospital is equipped with the technology needed to perform a wide range of imaging procedures, including:
- Bone density testing—This test measures bone density and identifies patients with low bone density who may be at risk for fractures due to conditions such as osteoporosis.
- Computed tomography (CT) scan—A CT scan uses multiple X-ray images that are combined using computer technology to produce a single, cross-sectional image.
- Fluoroscopy—A fluoroscopy displays a continuous X-ray that appears on a computer monitor; it is often described as a X-ray movie.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—A MRI uses a strong magnetic field to create images of organs and structures in the body.
- Nuclear medicine—A nuclear medicine study implements a radiotracer, which is ingested by a patient or administered intravenously, to highlight certain internal structures and processes that are picked up by imaging technology.
- Ultrasound—An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves that bounce back from structures in the body to create images of the body.
- X-ray—An X-ray uses radiation to produce images of structures in the body by demonstrating differing shades of black and white.
