| High Field MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
|
MRI is a noninvasive way to view organs, soft tissue, bone
and other internal body structures without the use of x-rays. MRI uses a
magnetic field and radio waves together with a computer to create
cross-sectional pictures of various parts of the body.

|
| Open MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) |
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses radiofrequency waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide detailed pictures of the central nervous system, joints and various organs. The Open MRI is open on all four sides to help alleviate claustrophobia and it is designed to accommodate obese patients.

| Digital Mammography
|
Mammography is a specific type of imaging that uses a low
dose x-ray system to examine the breasts. Mammography plays a central part
in early detection of breast cancers because it can show changes in the
breast up to two years before a patient or physician can feel them.
Digital mammography takes less than half the time of traditional
film-based exams.

| Stereotactic Breast Biopsy (Mammotome)
|
Stereotactic Breast Biopsy is a safe and minimally
invasive form of breast biopsy. It is used to obtain tiny core samples of
breast calcifications or mass for examination by a pathologist. The
samples are precisely located with a computer-guided imaging system and
removed with a needle. The procedure is completed on an outpatient basis.

| Ultrasound |
Ultrasound is an examination technique which uses
high-frequency sound waves to make still and live video pictures of the
heart, digestive, vascular, reproductive or urinary systems or any other
soft tissue structures within the body.

| Bone Density Evaluation
|
Bone mineral density tests use a small amount of radiation
to determine the density of the spine, hip, wrist and other skeletal
sites. Your results are compared with the average bone mineral density of
healthy young adults of your sex. The diagnosis can help your doctor
diagnose osteoporosis or assess your risk for developing osteoporosis in
the future.

| Fluoroscopy
|
In this technique a portion of the body is exposed to a
continuous beam of x-ray to generate a movie like image which is viewed on
a TV monitor. This technique is helpful for the evaluation of motion of
bones within joints, swallowing and gastrointestinal studies, and
evaluation of lung and diaphragm abnormalities. Fluoroscopy is used for
accurate placement of needles for interventional procedures.

| CT Scan
(Computed Tomography) |
A CT scan is an x-ray tube that rotates around the patient
while measuring how different body tissues absorb the x-ray beam. This
information is then fed into a computer which produces a reconstructed
image of a thin cross section of “slice” of the body. Now, small
differences in body tissue can be recorded in startling detail, sharper
and with more clarity than even the best x-rays. CT scanning has become
one of the most powerful tools available for diagnosing diseases.

| Echocardiography
|
An echocardiogram is a non-invasive, safe
and effective test to study the anatomy of the heart. It uses sound waves
(ultrasound) to form images of the structures of the heart. The ultrasound
and electrocardiography (ECG) signals are recorded on a videotape
simultaneously to be reviewed by a cardiologist. The test can evaluate the
size of the different chambers of the heart, the quality of the valves,
measure the heart's pumping ability and identify other problems of the
heart that may increase a person's risk for dangerous arrhythmias.

| Nuclear Medicine
|
Nuclear medicine is especially useful in the diagnosis of
abnormalities of the bone, gallbladder, heart, liver, thyroid and other
areas of the body. The scan requires the use of a tiny amount of
radioactive material, called radionuclide. In this medical application,
radioactivity is used beneficially. The procedure is completely safe and
painless.

|
| X-Ray |
An x-ray (radiograph) is a painless medical test that
helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Radiography
involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation
to produce pictures of the inside of the body.
