Medical Imaging

The Medical Imaging Department provides a full range of diagnostic services. All exams require a physician's order. Your physician will give you a written order which you should bring with you. It is important that we do the correct exam, and the written physician's order is required for us to bill your insurance.

Radiation Safety

Most outpatient exams are done by appointment. It is best to arrive 20 minutes prior to your appointment time to register in outpatient registration. We will make every effort to do your exam at your appointment time. However, an emergency exam could become necessary and delay the schedule.

Routine x-rays

  • Fluoroscopic exams
  • Ultrasound
  • CT
  • MRI
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Certified Mammography
  • Bone Densitometry
  • Peripheral Vascular Lab

Scope of Service
The department is divided into seven (7) distinct modalities: General Radiology, Computerized Axial Tomography (CT), Ultrasound, Mammography, Magnetic Resonance, Peripheral Vascular and Nuclear Medicine.

These various modalities utilize ionizing radiation, ultrasonic waves, medical isotopes and magnetic field in order to acquire the desired images that best serve the referring physician's needs. Through the careful application of these services by licensed and competent personnel, exposure to and damage by these imaging means is controlled at an acceptable level. Subsequently, all aspects of each modalities' services are vital to the overall safety of our patients and personnel.
