our integrated Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system means your
care team will have access to your imaging results as soon as they’re

• CT (Computerized Tomography) Scans - Head and body scans, CT
angiography, and CT-guided biopsies and surgical procedures.

energy bone density imaging for the detection of osteoporosis and
high definition instant vertebral assessment for detection of spine
fractures with rapid, low dose, single energy images in seconds.

diagnostic mammographies, ductograms, needle localizations,
invasive procedures and sterotactic core biopsies.

(MRA). We also offer the High Field Espree Open Bore MRI machine
for those who aren’t comfortable in the traditional enclosed MRI.

to visualize the structure and function of internal organs. Services
include cardiac SPECT scans, thyroid function scans and bone,
gastrointestinal, liver, spleen, and renal (kidney) scans.
• PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Scans - PET scans use
a radioactive drug to show how your tissues and organs are
functioning. PET scans are helpful in diagnosing or assessing several
conditions, including cancer, heart disease and brain disorders.
• Ultrasound - Services include abdominal, breast, OB/GYN, testicular
and vascular ultrasounds, as well as echocardiography, stress
echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and

gastrointestinal conditions and other conditions.
