Our Services
X-ray technologies such as CT and MRI scans are used in medical imaging to show detailed cross-sectional images of the internal organs of the body. PET/CT imaging can be used along with nuclear medicine to evaluate specific cellular changes to identify certain diseases at their earliest stages.
Ultrasound technology uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the body's organs and blood flow through vessels. This type of imaging is so safe that a baby's health and development can be monitored during pregnancy using this type of technology. Ultrasound technology is often used in mammography along with low-level radiation X-rays to view breast tissue. Ultrasound exams do not use X-rays or radiation.
