Computed Tomography (CT)
The
computed tomography (CT) scanner combines the power of X-ray
technology and computers–allowing physicians the ability to
view wafer-thin cross-sections of internal anatomy without
the need for surgery. The LightSpeed® CT scanner
manufactured by GE Medical Systems allows doctors to
simultaneously capture multiple images of a patient’s
anatomy in a matter of minutes. This allows decisions to be
made for quicker turn around time.
Ultrasound
We
have an up-to-date ultrasound machine which uses sound waves
to study hard to reach body parts. The ultrasound machine
is used for OB-GYN, breast, abdomen, pelvic, vascular, and
cardiac studies.
Mammography
We
provide screening and diagnostic mammography exams and
needle localization of breast lesions.
Mammography
is X-ray imaging of your breasts designed to detect tumors
or other abnormalities. Mammography can be used either for
screening or for diagnostic purposes in evaluating a breast
lump. Screening mammography is used to detect changes in
the breast for women who do not have signs or symptoms or
observable breast abnormalities. Diagnostic mammography is
used to examine suspicious breast changes such as a lump,
pain, or unusual skin appearance.
Also, we
have the new soft touch pad which provides a softer, warmer
mammogram for patients.
Holter Monitor
Our
Holter Monitor allows the lab to observe a heart over a
24-hour period to determine any abnormalities of the heart.
The lab has important information at their fingertips with
software that saves the results on a computer chip and
allows them to send it through a computer and get results
within a half an hour. This allows for a much quicker
decision time for better, more effective results. |
