Imaging tests we offer

At our imaging center, we use state-of-the-art technology, including:

  • 3D and digital mammography is used for the early detection of breast cancer and other conditions related to breast health.
  • Computerized tomography (CT) allows radiologists to see inside your body. It uses a combination of X-rays and computers to get pictures of organs, tissue, bones and joints.
  • Interventional radiology uses imaging to direct minimally invasive surgical procedures that diagnose and treat a variety of conditions.
  • Ultrasound imaging (sonography) uses sound waves to capture images inside your body. It is often used to diagnose infections or heart conditions. It is also commonly used to assist with biopsies and examine babies in the womb. Ultrasounds do not use radiation and are noninvasive.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnets, radio waves and computers to take detailed pictures of the inside of the body. They may be used to determine the effectiveness of treatment.
  • Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radioactive materials to examine organ function.

Bone density screening

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is typically an integral part of orthopedic care and can be used to examine bone density, bone strength and bone fractures. Among other things, this technology allows us to identify your risk of developing osteoporosis.

Breast imaging

As part of our complete breast health services, we offer a wide range of imaging techniques to detect breast cancers and diseases.

Heart and lung imaging

Using X-rays, MRIs and CT scans, our team can perform a variety of exams to detect heart disease and cardiopulmonary disorders.

Image-guided biopsies

Biopsies help determine if cells are cancerous and the stage of cancer. Our staff uses CT scans, MRI scans and ultrasounds to precisely guide biopsies to secure tissue samples for examination.
