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.

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.
