Radiology Imaging Options in the ER

We offer computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (ultrasonography), X-rays, and other emergency radiology services in Southern California.

The fastest and most convenient ER imaging tests in the emergency setting are X-rays and ultrasound. For more detailed images, our ER doctors prefer CT scans and MRIs. CT scans are effective at helping diagnose a range of medical emergencies, including spine injuries. MRI takes longer than other imaging tests, but it excels at capturing images of the brain and other internal organs.

Radiology Specialists Focused on You

Our highly trained ER doctors and radiologists are experts at emergency imaging. They determine your specific imaging need based on your current condition, medical history, and age. Children are more sensitive than adults to radiologic imaging, so they are good candidates for emergency ultrasound.

At Dignity Health Southern California, we always do what it takes to generate results as quickly and comfortably as possible to diagnose your condition and guide treatment, including emergency surgery.
