MRI/MRA
Magnetic resonance imaging or MRI uses radio waves and magnetic
fields rather than radiation to diagnose many types of problems
virtually anywhere in the body. It produces remarkably clear and
detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues.
Magnetic resonance angiography or MRA utilizes the MRI technology
and is used for studies of the blood vessels. MRA studies may be
performed with a special form of contrast to make MRI images even
clearer.
Our technologists are registered with MRI Certification.
Hours of Operation:
Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Saturday 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Angiography (Special Procedure)
Special Procedures, including Angiography, are minimally invasive
medical tests, using special x-ray equipment, that help physicians
diagnose and treat medical conditions. Most exams are done on an
outpatient basis. These include the placement of special tubes for
receiving medications or removing fluid, injections for the relief
of back or joint pain, and the visualization of blood vessels by
injecting contrast material into an artery. Most procedures do require
some type of preparation prior to the examination.
Hours of Operation:
Monday thru Friday 7:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
On-call (emergency) - After regular hours
CT
Computerized Tomography or CT Scan enables a physician to visualize
detailed and accurate cross-sectional anatomy of the entire body.
An oral and/or intravenous contrast dye may be used before and during
the scan to help highlight the area being examined. During the scan,
a thin x-ray beam is focused on a specific part of the body and
then a computer analyzes the information and constructs an image
on a video monitor. The images produces allow our radiologists to
detect abnormalities that are not seen on conventional x-rays.
Our technologists are licensed and registered.
Hours of Operation:
Sunday thru Saturday - 24-hours
Cardiac Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine is a healthcare specialty involving the use of
radioactive compounds to perform diagnostic imaging examinations
that can lead to the effective treatment of many diseases.
Cardiac nuclear medicine refers to these diagnostic tests that
are used to examine the anatomy and function of the heart.
Our technologists are licensed and registered.
Hours of Operation:
Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Medicine
tests utilize isotopes and a large camera to capture and track images
of a number of internal organs including the liver, thyroid, heart
and brain.
Our technologists are licensed and registered.
Hours of Operation:
Monday thru Friday 6:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Saturday 8:00 a.m. - Noon
On-Call (emergency) - After regular hours
Ultrasound
An Ultrasound examination,
or sonogram, is a diagnostic test that uses high-frequency sound
waves to produce high quality images of soft tissues and motion
within the body.
Our technologists are licensed and registered.
Hours of Operation:
Monday thru Friday 7:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Saturday 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
On-Call (emergency) - After regular hours
Diagnostic X-Rays
Radiography or x-rays as it more commonly known, is the oldest
and most frequently used form of medical imaging. X-rays can produce
diagnostic images of the human body on film or digitally on a computer
screen. Diagnostic procedures include digital fluoroscopy, contrast
diagnostic studies for urology, gastrointestinal, neurology, and
gynecological and routine exams.
Our technologists are licensed and registered.
Hours of Operation:
Sunday thru Saturday - 24-hours
Echo Cardiogram
Echo Cardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to produce a moving
image of a beating heart on a video screen. The physician can study
the hearts thickness, size and function as well as the motion pattern
and structure of the four heart valves.
Our technologists are licensed and registered.
Hours of Operation:
Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m..
Saturday and Sunday 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Vascular Lab
Our comprehensive Vascular Laboratory is accredited by ICAVL and
provides many non-invasive studies to evaluate arteries and veins.
These tests can assist the physician in identifying blood clots,
artery blockages, aneurysms and other information that may help
with diagnosis and treatment.
Our services include:
- Carotid Duplex
- Venous Duplex (DVT, upper & lower extremity)
- Venous Reflux Testing
- Graft Surveillance
- Arterial Physiologic Testing (upper & lower extremity)
- Digit Temperature Scanning
Hours of Operation:
Monday thru Friday 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Mammography
Mammography uses safe, low doses of x-rays to image the inside
of breasts and is the best tool for diagnosing early breast cancer.
We are a participant of the Women's Cancer Program.
Certified by the FDA with ACR accreditation. All technologists
are licensed, registered and Mammography certified.
Hours of Operation:
Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.
Saturday (twice a month) 8:00 a.m. to Noon
Full Field Digital Mammography
Through the use of computers and specially designed digital detectors,
full filed digital mammography produces images that can be displayed
on a high-resolution computer monitor in a matter of seconds, enabling
the radiologist to adjust the brightness, change contrast and zoom
in for close-ups of specific areas of interest.
Additinal benefits to patients include a shorter time spent in the
breast imaging suite, as there is no waiting for film to develop,
as well as a significant reduction in exposure to x-rays.
Certified by the FDA with ACR accreditation. All technologists
are licensed, registered and Mammography certified.
For information or to schedule an appointment,
please call:
456-3936, Monday through Friday.
Bone Densitometry
A bone densitometer uses a very small dose of radiation to measure
your bone mineral density. This assists with diagnosis about your
bone status and fracture risk.
Our technologists are licensed and registered.
Hours of Operation:
Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Saturday (twice a month) 8:00 a.m. to Noon
