Advanced Radiology Services

Computed Axial Tomography (CT) scan - Saint Francis Memorial Hospital currently offers the only 160-slice CT scanning services in San Francisco. This ultra-fast, 3D, state-of-the-art system delivers the lowest radiology dose possible, while capturing cross-sectional internal body images in minute detail.

Low-dose Coronary CT Angiogram - allows radiologists and cardiologists to examine the coronary arteries and the heart in 3D in a non-invasive manner.

Nuclear Medicine - uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and determine the severity of a variety of diseases, offering the potential to identify disease in its earliest stages.

Radiology Screening Services

Low-dose Calcium Scoring - this basic heart screening study evaluates your risk for coronary artery disease. It detects the amount of calcium in the walls of vessels and calculates "calcium score." A high score for your age group is statistically associated with increased risk of coronary events in the future.

Low-dose Lung Cancer Screening - using low-dose CT scanning as a screening methodology for high-risk current and former smokers, smaller cancers can be detected earlier when more treatment options are available. This service is now covered by Medicare.  

Mammography - digital mammography offers superior images with high definition. Because they are viewed on a computer, areas can be enlarged for closer investigation and more accurate diagnostic readings.  

DEXA Bone Density Screening - the dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) screening for osteoporosis is completely painless and delivers minimal radiation exposure while accurately measuring bone density.

From Mammography to Bone Density Screenings

Our technicians are here to help you with your annual screenings because early prevention is key to successful treatment.

Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine is a safe diagnostic tool using small amounts of radioactive tracer materials to provide early diagnosis or therapeutic treatment for a wide variety of conditions. Learn More
