Imaging services available

Our radiology care team focuses on your needs. From chest X-rays and preventive health breast and lung screening tests to diagnostic testing for illness or injury, we deliver a wide range of tests and procedures using state-of-the-art technology. Our diagnostic radiologists use a secure digital network to communicate timely test results to your doctor. Imaging services include:

CT Scan (Computed Tomography)

CT scans use an X-ray generating device that rotates around your body and a powerful computer to create cross-sectional images. When you arrive for your test, you will change into a gown and lie on a table that slides in and out of a large tube called a CT. It is a painless imaging test that takes only minutes to complete. We deliver various types of CT scans, including: CT calcium score (heart healthy scan), CTA coronaries (FFR and TAVRS), CT enterography, and LDCT lung cancer screening.

Healthy Heart CT Screening

Schedule a preventive healthy heart CT scan appointment online. The heart screening test is $75 and is intended for men ages 40+ or women ages 45+ with one or more of the following heart disease risk factors: high blood pressure (greater than 140/90), cholesterol levels greater than 160 LDL, diabetes, obesity, tobacco use, or family history of heart disease or stroke.

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)

An MRI uses strong magnetic fields to create detailed images of organs and other structures in your body. During your appointment, you will be asked to change into a gown and remove all jewelry, glasses, and hearing aids. You will lie flat in a tube that is open on both ends. The tube then slides into the MRI machine. For some MRI tests, a contrast dye is inserted through an IV. The scan may last anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour, depending on what images are needed.
