Imaging Services and Radiology

Radiology is a branch of medicine that uses imaging technology to diagnose and treat disease. Radiology may be divided into two different areas, diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology.

Ultrasound

Digital X-ray

Digital x-rays use much lower radiation than traditional x-rays and are read and stored in a computer so the data can be enhanced, magnified, or manipulated.

CT Scan
