Computed Tomography (CT)
Our CT scanner is a GE Optima 520 low dose scanner. This scanner has advanced dose optimizing features which decreases patient dose on an average of 30% per scan with superb image quality. Scan times are fast allowing for decreased patient motion and quick results.
Ultrasound
The GE Logiq E9 ultrasound scanner delivers extraordinary image quality on a broad spectrum of patient body types. This scanner allows easy workflow making scanning more efficient. It uses Agile Acoustic Architecture that helps acquire images on virtually any patient with minimal system adjustments while increasing exam consistency. We can perform a wide variety of ultrasound exams ranging from Echocardiography to obstetrical screening.
Digital Mammography
During a mammography exam our patients comfort level is very important to us. The GE Senographe Essential uses flexible compression paddles that allow for a more tolerable compression while helping obtain the best image possible. The Essential digital mammography unit offers automatic exposure mode based on breast density helping to deliver optimized and consistent image quality with a decreased radiation dose to the breast. Call us today to schedule your screening mammogram.
DEXA
We have the GE Lunar Prodigy DEXA scanner. This scanner has exceptional precision and keeps radiation dose lower than average. With the use of direct-digital array detector technology we can achieve dose efficiency and excellent precision through the spine, femurs and total body measurements.
