A full array of services is offered through the Radiology Diagnostic Imaging Department.

General Diagnostic Xray- radiographic and fluoroscopic x-ray procedures are performed in the department or with portable units and OEC 9800 C-arm.

Nuclear Medicine- The GE Millenium VG3 System is capable of both cardiac and general diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging such as bone scans, lung scans, HIDA studies and gastric emptying exams.

MRI- The MRI service will be moving to a new location within the Diagnostic Imaging department in the very near future. We are replacing the current MRI unit with a Philips Diamond Select Intera 1.5 Tessla magnet. This change in equipment and location will provide improved image quality, faster scan times, expanded service capability, and a more comfortable MR suite for patient convenience.

Mammography- The GE Senographe T Mammography unit is used for mammography images. Also included in the upcoming construction and renovation of the Diagnostic Imaging Department will be a new, improved area for Women's Health imaging services. Mammography and Bone Density will have private dressing and waiting areas for a more comfortable experience.
