Imaging Specialties

A CT scan gives your doctor a fast, non-surgical way to see inside your body. It combines X-ray technology with computer imaging to create detailed pictures of your organs, bones and tissue, which can help diagnose injuries, illness, or conditions that aren't visible with a standard exam.

Your doctor may order a CT scan if you're injured, ill, or if they need more specific information than a routine exam can provide.

PET/CT is an advanced imaging exam commonly used in cancer care. It can help find cancer, see if it has spread, understand how well treatment is working, and watch for cancer that may have returned. Different types of PET/CT exams are used depending on the type of cancer being evaluated.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the body without radiation. Our 3T MRI technology provides exceptional detail and supports a wide range of advanced imaging.

Nuclear Medicine uses small amounts of radioactive material, called a radiotracer, to show how organs and tissues are functioning inside the body. A special camera detects the tracer and creates images that can help diagnose disease, evaluate organ function, and guide treatment.

The amount of radiotracer used is carefully selected for each exam. Preparation varies depending on the type of study, and our team will provide instructions before your appointment.

X-ray is the most common form of diagnostic imaging, and your doctor may order one to help confirm or rule out a diagnosis. Dense structures like bone appear white on the image, while muscle, fat and fluid appear as shades of gray—giving your doctor a clear picture of what's going on beneath the surface.

Ultrasound uses sound waves, instead of radiation, to create real-time images of soft tissue, organs, and blood flow. A technologist moves a small handheld device over the area being examined, and the images appear on a monitor as they're captured.

Because ultrasound doesn't use radiation, it's considered one of the safest imaging options available, and it's been safely used for decades.
