128-Slice CT (Computed Tomography) Scan

Our 128-slice CT scanner delivers fast, high-resolution images of your body, allowing for a detailed look at bones, organs, and blood vessels. CT scans help physicians quickly detect and diagnose a wide range of conditions.

Common uses:

  • Heart, chest, and lung evaluation

  • Abdominal pain or injury

  • Kidney stones

  • Blood vessel and vascular imaging

What to expect:

  • Painless and fast (typically 5–10 minutes)

  • You may be asked to hold your breath briefly during the scan

  • In some cases, a contrast dye may be used

MRI – Magnetic Resonance Imaging

MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of your body—especially soft tissues like the brain, spine, joints, and organs. It’s completely non-invasive and does not use radiation.

Common uses:

  • Back, neck, or joint pain

  • Brain and spinal cord evaluation

  • Soft tissue injuries

  • Tumor detection

What to expect:

  • No radiation involved

  • You’ll lie still in the MRI machine for about 30–60 minutes

  • We’ll provide earplugs or headphones to reduce noise

  • Our team will talk to you throughout the scan

DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) Scan

 

DEXA scans are the most accurate way to measure bone density and assess your risk for osteoporosis. It’s a simple, low-radiation test that helps your physician monitor bone health, especially for postmenopausal women, older adults, or anyone at risk of bone loss.

Common uses:

  • Osteoporosis screening (especially in women over 50)

  • Monitoring bone loss over time

  • Evaluating bone strength in patients on long-term steroid use

What to expect:

  • Quick and painless (about 10–20 minutes)

  • Low radiation exposure

  • You’ll lie still while the scanner passes over your body

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of the inside of the body—without any radiation. It’s commonly used to view organs, blood flow, soft tissue, and during pregnancy.

Common uses:

  • Pregnancy monitoring

  • Thyroid and abdominal imaging

  • Blood flow evaluation

  • Pelvic or soft tissue exams

What to expect:

  • Completely safe and radiation-free

  • A warm gel is applied to the skin to help capture clear images

  • Most exams take 30 minutes or less
