Bone Density
Bone Density testing is one of the most accurate ways to assess your bone health. It can detect osteoporosis in both women and men at its earliest stage so treatment can begin sooner.
CT Scan
A "CT" or "CAT" scan is the term used to describe a radiologic test known as "computerized tomography." The scanner is a donut shaped machine that takes pictures of cross-sections of your body called slices.
CT can see inside the brain and other parts of the body, into areas that cannot be seen on regular x-ray exams.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)is a technology that combines a strong magnetic field and radio waves to explore the intricate structures and chemistry of the body in depth and detail previously unattainable.
Mammography
A mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breast. It is used to detect tumors and cysts and to help differentiate benign(non cancerous)and malignant(cancerous)disease.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine is a sub-specialty of radiology. The primary pupose is to image, evaluate organ function, localize disease or tumor.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs and systems within the body.
Vascular Ultrasound
This test examines the blood flow in the major arteries and veins of the body. It is non-invasive and does not use radiation.
X-Ray
Conventional x-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation just like visible light. It is similar to photography except that it looks inside the body.
