Attention: All exams except for x-rays need to be scheduled. X-rays are a walk in basis.


Digital X-Ray

X-Ray imaging itself is painless. Some discomfort may result from lying on the table, a hard surface that may feel quite cold. Sometimes to get a clear image of an injury such as a possible fracture, you may be asked to hold an uncomfortable position for a short time. Any movement could blur the image and make it necessary to repeat the procedure to get a useful, clear picture.     

 

Digital Computed Tomagraphy (CT)

CT scans are relatively safe and painless. CT scans can often replace exploratory surgery and other diagnostic procedures. This can save the patient discomfort and inconvenience.

 

 

Digital Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Because MRI can give such clear pictures of soft-tissue structures near and around bones, it is the most sensitive exam for spinal and joint problems. MRI is widely used to diagnose sports-related injuries, especially those affecting the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow and wrist. The images allow the physician to see even very small tears and injuries to ligaments and muscles.

 

Digital Flouroscopy

Digital Fluoroscopy uses X-rays to capture images of an organ while it is moving and functioning, such as the movement of food through the intestinal tract. Digital Fluoroscopy is most commonly used to analyze the digestive tract or to aid in catheterization. Typically, a contrast medium such as barium is used to help aid the visualization.

 

 

Digital Ultrasound

Digital Ultrasound is a procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to show what is inside your body
