Imaging Studies

We offer advanced imaging studies to aid in accurate diagnoses and provide comprehensive insights into your health. Our state-of-the-art imaging technology, along with experienced radiologists and technicians, ensures precise and reliable results for our patients. Some of the essential imaging studies we offer include:

• X-ray: X-rays are a common diagnostic tool used to visualize bones and detect fractures, joint dislocations, and lung conditions like pneumonia. We perform various types of specialized X-rays tailored to specific areas of the body, including chest X-rays, hand X-rays, knee X-rays, and more. During an X-ray, you will be positioned between the X-ray machine and a special imaging plate. A brief exposure to X-rays produces images that are digitally captured for analysis.
• Ultrasound: Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of organs, soft tissues, and blood vessels, making it valuable for monitoring pregnancies and diagnosing conditions affecting the abdomen, pelvis, and heart. A gel is applied to the skin, and a transducer is gently moved over the area of interest, emitting sound waves that generate images on a screen.
• Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: CT scans provide detailed cross-sectional images of various body parts, allowing for the detection of tumors, internal injuries, and complex bone fractures. During a CT scan, you'll lie on a table that moves into a doughnut-shaped machine. X-ray beams rotate around you, and a computer compiles the images to create cross-sectional views.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs, soft tissues, and the nervous system, making it valuable in diagnosing brain and spinal cord conditions, joint problems, and tumors. You'll lie on a table that slides into a tunnel-like machine. The MRI scanner uses magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images, which are then interpreted by our skilled radiologists.
• Mammography: Mammograms are specialized X-rays used for breast cancer screening and early detection. During a mammogram, the breast is compressed between two plates to capture X-ray images, aiding in the detection of any abnormal masses or microcalcifications.
• Fluoroscopy: Fluoroscopy is a real-time imaging technique used to visualize moving structures, such as the digestive tract and joints. A continuous X-ray beam is passed through the body part of interest while the images are viewed on a monitor, enabling real-time evaluation of the area's function and movement.
• PET Scan: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans involve the use of a small amount of radioactive tracer to visualize metabolic activity in the body. PET scans are valuable in diagnosing cancer, neurological disorders, and heart diseases.

At our Diagnostic Center, we prioritize patient comfort and safety during imaging studies. Our experienced staff will guide you through each procedure, ensuring a smooth and efficient process. The results of these imaging studies are invaluable in providing our healthcare professionals with the information they need to deliver accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans for your well-being.
