Imaging services
Imaging services refers to the performance of imaging exams for better visualization and treatment of medical conditions. Different exams allow radiologists and physicians to view structures and activity within the body. Imaging exams are vital for diagnosis and there are a wide range of tests that can be performed.

Our diagnostic imaging services
Our imaging services include:
Bone density testing
We use dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to measure the density of your bones. The DEXA scan is an X-ray scan that uses a small amount of radiation to take images of different bones.
Our advanced bone densitometer is the most complete bone assessment tool ever devised for diagnosing osteoporosis and assessing a patient's fracture risk. This technology offers excellent precision in detecting bone changes in a variety of clinical conditions.
Computerized tomography (CT) scan
A CT scan uses X-ray technology to capture images of the inside of the body. It can take more precise and detailed pictures than X-rays. CT scans are often used to examine the brain, chest, abdomen and pelvis to help doctors diagnose diseases or life-threatening illnesses.
Our advanced CT scanner offers the latest in CT technology, allowing physicians to perform multiple diagnostic exams quickly and accurately.
CT scans have several diagnostic capabilities, including:
- Viewing bleeding inside the body, especially in the skull
- Studying the chest and abdomen
- Determining the size and site of a tumor
- Diagnosing skeletal problems
- Diagnosing blood vessel diseases
- Planning radiation treatments for cancer
- Guiding biopsies and other tests
- Planning surgery
- Identifying injuries from trauma
Fluoroscopy
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Our advanced MRI technology delivers breakthrough results, including enhanced image quality and ease of application. The combination of faster and better scanning has proven to decrease the time for the patient in the magnet significantly.
When it comes to breast MRI, our innovative and powerful MRI system enables simultaneous, contrast-enhanced acquisition with high spatial resolution imaging of both breasts. Patients no longer have to come back a second time to obtain the highest quality images.
Ultrasound
X-ray
Interventional radiology
Interventional radiology is a medical sub-specialty where imaging technology is used to guide a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure or treatment. Our hospital offers a wide range of interventional radiology procedures, including:
- Arteriography and venography
- Vertebroplasty for back pain
- Vascular stent placements, including aortic artery stenting
- Interventional MRI of the breast
- CT scan of the sinuses
- Non-invasive treatment of fibroids
- Stereotactic breast biopsy
- Imaging total joint replacement with MRI
- Carotid stenting
Interventional vascular procedures
Advanced radiology technology
Our radiologists use a picture archiving communication system (PACS).
