PET/CT The fusion of two sophisticated scanning technologies, positron emission tomography and computed tomography, PET/CT shows both metabolic function and anatomical detail in a single exam. More>

CT (MDCT) A multi-detector (or multi-slice) computed tomography scan, also known as MDCT, CT or CAT scan, uses a special type of x-ray to obtain information from different angles around the body. Computers process the information and create cross-sectional images that appear as "slices" of the body and organs. More>

Breast MRI Provides a supplemental view of breast tissue to assist in the detection and staging of breast cancer and other breast abnormalities. . More>

MRI Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combines an advanced computer system, radio waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide remarkably clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. More>

Ultrasound Also called sonography, ultrasound is a simple imaging procedure that bounces high-frequency sound waves off parts of the body. The reflected echoes are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image. More>

Bone Density (DEXA) Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry is a quick, painless procedure for measuring bone loss associated with osteoporosis—a disease where decreasing bone density makes bones brittle and prone to fracture. More>

X-Ray During x-ray imaging or radiography, a part of the body is exposed to a very small quantity of x-rays which pass through the tissues, striking a film to create an image. More>

Fluoroscopy Fluoroscopy uses x-rays with the aid of a contrast agent to capture a moving image of certain organs while they are functioning. More>
