Medical Imaging

HonorHealth radiologists and other physicians use sophisticated imaging technologies to better diagnose and treat diseases or injuries.

While the medical imaging equipment may be high-tech, it's the people who make the difference in your care, from the board-certified radiologists to the knowledgeable and caring technologists and nurses on staff.

A quick look at our services:

• 3D mammography: Lower-dose three-dimensional mammography can detect breast cancers at earlier, more treatable stages, with reduced exposure and less compression time.
• CT scan: A test that produces cross-sectional images of the body using X-rays and a computer.
• Endoscopic ultrasound: A medical imaging procedure that uses a small ultrasound device and camera on the tip of an endoscope inserted into the upper or lower digestive tract. This technique allows a specialist to get close to the organ being examined, including the lungs and pancreas, producing accurate, detailed images to help with a diagnosis. The procedure also can used to take biopsies (tissue samples).
• MRI: This test uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues in your body.
• Nuclear medicine: A branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material administered from different parts of the body. Nuclear medicine is used to diagnose and determine the severity of a variety of diseases and also can be used to treat them.
• Pediatric imaging services: Low-dose X-ray machines are used to detect fractures and disease in children.
• PET Imaging: This nuclear medicine imaging technique produces a three-dimensional image of functional processes in the body by using small amounts of ionized radioactive materials. The technique is most commonly used to diagnose types of cancers.
• Picture Archiving Communications System (PACS): This system makes your medical images available to your physicians anywhere in the network.
• X-ray: This imaging technique is a type of electromagnetic radiation that allows dense materials such as bones to appear white.
