Imaging Services (Radiology)
Advanced medical imaging helps diagnose and monitor a wide range of health conditions using state-of-the-art technology. Services include X-rays, CT scans, MRI, ultrasound, and other specialized imaging modalities. These tests provide detailed pictures of internal body structures, helping clinicians identify problems, plan treatment, and track healing progress. All imaging is performed by trained technologists and interpreted by board-certified radiologists. Most procedures are painless and many can be completed quickly.

Who This Is For
Those needing diagnostic imaging for injury evaluation, monitoring chronic conditions, cancer screening, surgical planning, pregnancy monitoring, heart and vessel assessment, bone density testing, or follow-up care.
Services Offered
X-ray: Quickly images bones, chest, abdomen for fractures, infections, foreign objects.
CT (Computed Tomography): Detailed cross-sectional images for trauma, cancer detection, surgical planning.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Superior soft tissue imaging for brain, spine, joints, organs without radiation.
Ultrasound: Safe real-time imaging using sound waves for pregnancy, abdominal organs, blood vessels, guided procedures.
Mammography: Specialized breast X-rays for cancer screening and diagnosis.
Bone Density (DEXA): Measures bone strength to diagnose osteoporosis.
Fluoroscopy: Real-time X-ray motion studies.
Nuclear Medicine: Uses radioactive tracers for organ function assessment.
Preparation and Process
Preparation varies by exam type. Some require fasting, contrast agents, or stopping certain medications. Instructions are provided when scheduling. Most imaging appointments last 15-60 minutes. You’ll be positioned appropriately, asked to remain still, and may need to hold your breath briefly. Technologists ensure comfort throughout. Contrast materials may be given orally or intravenously to enhance images. Results are reviewed by radiologists and sent to your ordering clinician, typically within 1-2 days. Urgent findings are communicated immediately.
