CT
Computed Tomography (CT) scan, also called CAT scan, is a type of diagnostic test that combines X-rays and computer technology to provide views of soft tissue, bones and blood vessels. The technology creates sectional images, or "slices," of the organs, tissues or vessels under evaluation.

CT Heart Screening
Coronary Artery Calcification Scoring (CACS) uses non-invasive, high-speed computerized tomography (CT) to scan the heart to produce an in-depth view of the heart and blood vessels and determines your risk of coronary heart disease. The exam looks for calcium deposits in the arteries, then calculates a calcium score.

CT Lung Screening
Low Dose Lung Screening is a screening exam that focuses on the lungs to detect lung cancer at its early stages. New CT technology and methodology finds cancer before any symptoms arise. The majority of cancers found with CT technology can be cured if diagnosed in the early stages.

Total Body CT Screening
A full body CT screening scans your heart, lungs, abdomen, pelvis, and other critical internal organs, all in one exam. It is the best option for optimum information and reassurance about your health.

PET/CT
The biograph PET/CT is a diagnostic imaging system that combines PET and CT into one unit. PET utilizes a low-level radiopharmaceutical to visualize processes or functions within the body. CT stands for Computed Tomography or CAT Scan. This technique uses x-rays to make cross-sectional images of your body.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, is a method of obtaining images from inside the human body through the use of high-frequency sound waves. The reflected sound wave echoes are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image. No ionizing radiation (x-ray) is involved in ultrasound imaging.

Vascular Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging of the body's veins and arteries can help the radiologist see and evaluate blockages to blood flow, such as clots in veins and plaque in arteries. With knowledge about the arterial blood flow gained from an ultrasound image, radiologists can often determine whether you are a good candidate for a procedure like angioplasty.

Virtual Colonoscopy
Virtual colonoscopy is an alternative to traditional colonoscopy and is less invasive. Sometimes called CT colonography, it uses cutting edge cat scan technology to examine the entire colon. The scan takes three dimensional images which are interpreted by our radiologists.
