State-of-the-art diagnostic and full-service outpatient imaging
1.5T MR imaging uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone and virtually all other internal body structures.
A cardiac CT scan is a non-invasive way of obtaining information about the location and extent of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries—the vessels that supply oxygen-containing blood to the heart wall.
Ultrasound imaging, also called sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body.
MRI of the breast offers valuable information about many breast conditions that cannot be obtained by other imaging modalities, such as mammography or ultrasound.
A breast biopsy is performed to remove some cells—either surgically or through a less invasive procedure.
Studies are performed with a machine called a fluoroscope. This is a device that has a tilting table connected to an x-ray machine and a television screen.
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation used in imaging or therapy that uses short wavelength energy beams which penetrate the body to form an image on film.
This is often beneficial for patients who experience pain in areas while in motion with normal x-ray/CT/MRI results.
Nuclear Medicine is a multi-professional, independent, medical discipline based on the application of probes labelled with radionuclides (radiopharmaceuticals) to both diagnose and treat various diseases.
PET scans use radioactive tracers to visualize metabolic activity in real-time, allowing for early detection of diseases such as cancer and evaluating organ function. PET-CT scans are a combination of both scans.
A DEXA scan, or Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry scan, is a medical imaging procedure used primarily to assess bone density and diagnose conditions such as osteoporosis.
