MRI
(Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
Utilizing a high tech scanner, MRI allows doctors to see internal organs, joints, muscles, blood vessels, tumors, area of infections and more, without x-rays or surgery and without exposing patients to ionizing radiation. It is one of the safest ways to get detailed pictures of organs and tissues, and is critical for the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of many diseases and injuries.
CT
(Computed Tomography)
A CT scan uses X-rays to make detailed pictures of structures inside of the body. During the test, you will lie on a table that is attached to the CT scanner, and it will send x-rays through the body area being studied. Each rotation of the scanner provides a picture of a thin slice of the organ or larger area.
X-RAY
X-Ray, also known as plain radiography, is the oldest diagnostic imaging procedure, and remains one of the most effective for its range of diagnostic applications. It uses small amounts of radiation that pass through the selected part of the body and is often used to evaluate the chest and skeletal system.
ULTRASOUND
(Sonography)
An ultrasound scan, or sonogram, is a procedure that uses high frequency sound waves to create an image of part of the inside of the body, such as the heart.
As sound waves are used rather than radiation, the procedure is safe. Ultrasound scans are commonly used during pregnancy to produce images of the baby in the womb.
