Our services include:

  • Digital 3D Mammography: This advanced mammography technique provides clearer images and improved detection of breast abnormalities compared to traditional 2D mammography, offering enhanced peace of mind.
  • X-rays: A fundamental diagnostic tool, X-rays are used to visualize bones and certain soft tissues, aiding in the diagnosis of fractures, infections, and other conditions.
  • Bone Densitometry (DEXA): This specialized scan measures bone mineral density, a crucial tool for diagnosing osteoporosis and assessing fracture risk.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI utilizes strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs, soft tissues, bone, and virtually all other internal body structures. It is invaluable for diagnosing a wide array of conditions, from neurological disorders to joint injuries.
  • Computerized Tomography (CT): CT scans combine a series of X-ray images taken from different angles to create cross-sectional images of the body. This provides more detailed information than conventional X-rays, particularly for complex bone structures, soft tissues, and blood vessels.
  • Ultrasound (US): Our ultrasound services encompass a variety of procedures, including:
    • General Ultrasound: Used to examine various organs and structures within the abdomen, pelvis, and neck.
    • Vascular Ultrasound: Specifically designed to assess blood flow and identify blockages or abnormalities in arteries and veins.
    • Breast Ultrasound: Often used in conjunction with mammography to further evaluate breast lumps or other concerns.
    • OB/GYN Procedures: Essential for monitoring pregnancy, evaluating reproductive organs, and diagnosing gynecological conditions.
  • Nuclear Medicine (NM): Nuclear medicine procedures involve the use of small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and treat a variety of diseases, including cancers, heart disease, and gastrointestinal, endocrine, and neurological disorders.
  • Interventional Radiology (IR): Our interventional radiologists perform minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat conditions in nearly every organ system. These procedures often offer less risk, less pain, and shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgery.
