Our procedures include diagnostic imaging as well as the following services:

  • 3D Mammography – A diagnostic screening tool that uses low-energy X-rays to examine the human breast with the purpose of early detection of breast cancer.
  • Ultrasound – A test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs and systems within the body.
  • CT Scan (Computerized Tomography) - combines a series of X-ray views taken from many different angles and computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the bones and soft tissues inside the body.
  • Fluoroscopy – An imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient through the use of a machine called a fluoroscope.

Appointments are readily available, and routine X-rays can be done on a walk-in basis.  A physician's order is required for all exams.
