MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is incredible technology that gives a detailed look inside the human body. Your primary care or specialist physician may recommend a MRI to diagnose tumors, anomalies in the spinal cord or brain, abdominal diseases, pelvic pain issues including endometriosis or fibroids, joint injuries, and so much more!

Most of the time, the MRI is a brief appointment taking 30 to 60 minutes. After the appointment, a radiologist will read the results of the scan and share the information with your referring physician. Ultimately this should lead to more effective treatment and faster recovery, giving you the reassurance that you are receiving the best healthcare that is available.

Ultrasound

Most people think of ultrasound as something that is used during pregnancy to visualize the unborn fetus. We certainly do love to use ultrasound to get an idea of how baby is doing, but the uses go even further than that. Ultrasound technology can give the physician and patient reliable diagnostic information regarding heart health, vascular function, joint health, and virtually any other part of human anatomy. 

What makes ultrasound technology even easier is its non-invasive nature. With minimal preparation for the patient, ultrasound yields incredibly detailed information within minutes and interpreted in time for your next physician appointment.

CT SCANS

CT scans are also referred to as computed tomography or CAT scans. By taking a series of X-ray images from various angles, it allows us to construct a 3-D representation of bodily structures, like bones or soft tissue.

The pictures produced by a CT scan allow doctors to make medical decisions very quickly if need be. Because of this, CT exams are one of the most commonly performed medical procedures in both hospitals and imaging centers. These scans help doctors find diseases and injuries that previously could only be found through surgery or an autopsy. Although it uses low dose radiation, CT scans are relatively safe and non-invasive.

Digital X-ray

X-ray machines use electromagnetic radiation, passing these particles through the body to capture specialized images of harder bodily structures like bones.

Depending on what part of your body requires an X-ray, the specially trained technologist will position you so the device can get the best images. You could be asked to sit, lie down on a table or even stand. You may also be asked to change positions several times.
