Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology
Diagnostic Imaging services include a complete range of state-of-the-art radiology/diagnostic technology that our skilled medical staff use to perform today’s advanced procedures.
In addition to our 64-Slice CT (CAT) Scanners, we offer the highest quality computerized tomography images, improved minimally invasive procedures, improved detection of disease in earliest stages and dramatically faster scan times, which will allow your physician to create an appropriate treatment plan more quickly.
Diagnostic imaging provides physicians with a clear picture of a patient’s condition, giving them valuable information for the formulation of a treatment plan. Whether it’s as simple as an X-ray of a broken bone, or as complex as breast and prostate ultrasound biopsy, our radiology services are often the first step toward healing.
Patients appreciate our attention to their schedule and comfort. Treatment is often set up to accommodate today’s busy schedules. Our dedicated treatment rooms allow patients to receive care in one central area. Their comfort is important to us – that’s why our diagnostic equipment is accessible to the handicapped and can accommodate persons weighing up to 500 pounds.
Our services are available on both an outpatient and inpatient basis, and include:
• MRI scanning
