Diagnostic Imaging
Our diagnostic imaging services include a full range of tests and scans like MRI and CT to accurately diagnose a range of health conditions. Our digital imaging technology allows doctors to access test results immediately, allowing treatments to begin quickly.
-
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine is a specialized area of radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials given orally or intravenously. The radioactive materials transmit an image back to your provider that allows them to examine your organ’s structure and metabolic function.
-
Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology is a minimally invasive approach that treats a variety of conditions. Radiologists or surgeons guide catheters or wires to an affected area for targeted treatment.
Healing Begins With an Accurate Image
- Preparing for Your Upcoming Imaging Exam
-
Knowing what to expect reduces anxiety and increases confidence. We also need to know what to expect, so before your exam, we’ll discuss your medical history and allergies. We’ll even ask if you experience claustrophobia and take steps to make your screening process less cramped.
In preparation for some tests, you may need to change into scrubs or a gown, and we may ask you to remove any metal jewelry or electronic devices. In certain cases, you may need to fast for several hours beforehand. To help us get a clearer look at the inside of your body, we may ask you to drink a liquid called a contrast, or we may inject this intravenously.
Following your test, your recovery period will be fairly short.
We’ll guide you from start to finish. After your test, a board-certified radiologist will assess your images and deliver results to your doctor as soon as possible. If you have any concerns or questions, just ask.
