Advanced Digital Imaging Technology
Digital imaging is similar to taking a photo with a
digital camera. Specially designed digital detectors
produce an image that can be immediately displayed
on a high-resolution computer monitor and transmitted
electronically to radiologists for viewing at all locations.
Digital imaging has many advantages, including
improved image quality and instant access. In
addition, digital imaging provides radiologists the
ability to manipulate images for improved accuracy
of interpretation. All images are digitally transferred
between locations using our Picture Archiving and
Communication System (PACS). No matter which
location you choose, you are sure to receive the benefit
of the latest technology and expert interpretation. Your
physician will also have instant access to your results
either through PACS or a compact disc (CD).
Exceptional, Board-Certified
Radiologists
Our radiologists, members of North Metropolitan
Radiology Associations, LLP (NMRA), bring years of
training and clinical experience to Gwinnett Medical
Center’s imaging facilities. All NMRA radiologists
are board-certified with a certificate of added
qualifications in their sub-specialty. Such expertise
allows for more precise reading and interpretation
of radiological studies. Furthermore, several of our
radiologists speak multiple languages, including
Gujarati, Korean and German.
