Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a magnetic field and computer generated radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues in your body.

MR Angiography

MR (magnetic resonance) angiography is a type of imaging test that provides your doctor with detailed images of your blood vessels. These images help your doctor detect abnormalities in the blood vessels.

Cardiac CT

A heart, or cardiac, CT scan is used by a physician to view your heart and blood vessels. These scans create detailed images, which can help your doctor to detect any problems.

CT Angiography

CT angiography is a medical test that combines a CT scan with an injection of a special dye. That dye produces pictures of blood vessels and tissues in a part of the body.

Coronary Computed Tomography Angiogram (CTA)

A coronary computed tomography angiogram (CTA) uses advanced CT technology, along with intravenous contrast material to obtain high-resolution, 3D pictures of the moving heart and great vessels.

Coronary Calcium Scoring

Coronary calcium scoring, also called a coronary calcium scan, is a test that measures the amount of calcium in the heart.

Diagnostic Imaging

Diagnostic imaging allows a doctor to look inside a person’s body when determining a medical condition. Various technologies can be used to create pictures of the structures and activities inside the body.

Low Dose CT Lung Screening

Low-dose CT lung screening is a special type of X-ray that takes multiple images of your lungs from various angles, providing you with a 3-dimensional cross-section of your lungs. It is used to screen for lungs cancer, particularly in current or former smokers over the age of 50.

Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine procedures are used in diagnosing and treating certain illnesses. These procedures use radioactive materials.

Needle Biopsy

Ultrasounds

X-Ray

X-rays are the most frequently used form of imaging to see inside the human body. It uses a focused beam and a special detector to obtain images of body anatomy.

Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is a study of moving body structures and uses a continuous x-ray beam that is passed through the body part being examined. The beam is transmitted monitor so that the body part and its motion can be seen in detail.
