Low bone density can lead to osteoporosis, a condition where your bones become weak and break easily. DEXA scans can detect weak or brittle bones before you have a fracture. It can also be used to monitor your bone density if you’re taking medicine to treat osteoporosis.CT Scan

The X-ray beam is passed through a part of your body and is captured on the other side, showing an image of your bones and other internal structures.Mammography

When detected early, the “cure rate” of breast cancer is greater than 90 percent. Digital mammography, including 3D mammography, is the gold standard in the detection of breast cancer.Echocardiography

A standard echocardiogram is called a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). There is also a more detailed version called transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). For learning more about the heart of a developing baby, there is a fetal echocardiogram. Learn how to schedule.Image-guided breast procedures

This may include stereotactic image-guided core biopsy, ultrasound-guided core biopsy, cyst aspiration, ductography, and sentinal node mapping. Either a tissue sample or additional images will be taken by a radiologist. Schedule now.Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

These images can help your doctor detect a variety of health concerns. Sometimes a special contrast dye is used to highlight the areas of your body being examined.
MRI scans are commonly used to detect conditions such as:
Arthritis, Brain aneurysms, Heart conditions, Spinal cord injuries, Stroke and TumorsNuclear medicine

A special camera detects the radiation and detailed images of tissue and organs are captured. Learn how to schedule.Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan/ CT Scan
PET/CT scans use a scanner and a tracer (radioactive substance) to help your doctor see how your organs are functioning.Stress test

You will be connected to an electrocardiogram (ECG) with wires and patches. You will then ride a stationary bike, walk on a treadmill or use another type of cardio exercise machine. How your heart and lungs perform during activity help determine function levels. Talk to your provider.Ultrasound

The transducer sends out high-pitched sound waves that are reflected back to the transducer. A computer analyzes the sound waves and converts them into pictures that are displayed on a monitor. Pictures or videos can be made of the ultrasound images.Vascular and Interventional Radiology
