Imaging services include:

Mammography

Uses a low-dose x-ray to see inside the breast in order to detect diseases and abnormalities in the breast tissue [Click here for more information]

Nuclear Medicine

Uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose a variety of diseases, including cancers, heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological disorders and other abnormalities within the body

Radiology

Uses x-rays and other high-energy radiation to diagnose bone conditions and the presence of foreign objects

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) 

Uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues allowing us to "see" minor damage and early warning signs

Ultrasound scan (Sonogram)

Uses high frequency sound waves to create an image deep inside the body so that we can view the inside of an organ or vessels (i.e. echo vascular ultrasound)

Computerized tomography (CT Scans or CAT Scans)

Combines a series of X-ray images from different angles to create cross-sectional images, or slices, of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body

The 256-slice scanner does not require the patient's heart to be slowed to scan it effectively for abnormalities. This helps the patient by requiring less manipulation of the heart to analyze it, and the speed at which the images are returned means your physician can get you on the road to heart health faster.
