Imaging services available
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 also provide low-dose CT lung screenings. Getting a low-dose CT scan may help find lung nodules or cancer early, when it is most treatable.
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.
X-ray
X-rays are used to produce images of bones, organs and other tissues in the body. There are many different types of X-rays. Your doctor will order the type of X-ray that is right for you. We take the time to explain how to prepare for your X-ray. Most do not require any preparation.
For many imaging tests, a referral from your healthcare provider is required. For questions about your insurance coverage, talk with your insurance provider.
