Our Diagnostic Imaging Services
Diagnostic imaging comprises various equipment, methods, and techniques to diagnose and monitor patients affected by disease, injury, or unexplained symptoms. Most diagnostic imaging tests are painless and noninvasive, though patients may need to remain still in an enclosed space for an extended period during some tests.
Review the scope of diagnostic imaging services at Middle Park Health and visit one of our clinics in your community when you need radiology. We provide our patients with the following diagnostic imaging services.
- X-Ray Diagnostic Imaging
X-Ray is a common imaging tool used to aid in the detection of bone injury and many disease processes. MPH utilizes DR (Digital Radiography) to produce high-quality imaging with shorter exam times.
- CT Scan Imaging Services
CT (Computed Tomography) uses x-rays and computers to create sectional images of the body and its systems. These virtual slices can be manipulated to be viewed in multiple planes or 3D.
- Your doctor may recommend a CT scan for these purposes:
- Determine the cause of unexplained pain or other symptoms affecting the abdominal or pelvic area
- Diagnose infection or obstruction of the sinus cavities
- Detect spinal problems such as fractures, hernias, and stenosis
- Image the neck area to diagnose unexplained lumps or swollen lymph nodes or glands
- Provide follow-up after an abnormal chest X-ray
- Diagnose and guide treatment of a traumatic brain injury, including detection of abnormalities such as masses, bleeding, or stroke
- MRI
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create images of the body to assess anatomy and physiology. Doctors at the medical center may issue orders for an MRI to further assess joint pain, back pain, headaches, visual changes, gastrointestinal discomfort, muscle/tendon/ligament injury, and many other conditions. Most MRI exams can be completed in 30-60 minutes.
- Ultrasound Diagnostic Imaging Services
US (Ultrasound) uses high-frequency sound waves and resulting echoes to produce images of internal body structures. We commonly use ultrasound imaging in obstetric medicine to check the health and development of the fetus during a woman’s pregnancy. These diagnostic imaging services can also be used to diagnose issues with the blood vessels and organs, including conditions affecting the kidneys, liver, bladder, muscles, joints, or heart.
- Mammography Imaging Services
Screening Mammography uses very low-dose x-rays to aid in the detection of breast cancer. Screening mammography is performed when no symptoms, such as breast pain, lump or nipple discharge are present. The ACR (American College of Radiology) recommends annual mammography screening starting at age 40 for women of average risk of developing breast cancer. Please consult with your Primary Care Provider to determine when you should schedule your screening mammogram. Same-day appointments are often available. Women aged 40 and older do not require an order or prescription for screening mammograms, they may self-refer (contact information for a licensed healthcare provider will be required).
- Bone Density Diagnostic Imaging
The DEXA scan is an advanced type of X-ray technology widely used to evaluate bone density and bone loss. If you have a high level of bone loss and low bone mineral density, you have an elevated risk for osteoporosis and fractures. Your doctor may order this type of scan if you have osteoporosis symptoms; if you are older than 50 and break a bone, male older than 70, o female older than 65.
- Echocardiography Diagnostic Imaging
Echocardiography uses ultrasound to image the heart. This technology is used to measure the size and shape of the heart, as well as pumping capacity and other heart functions. A cardiologist will interpret your echocardiogram.
Doctors recommend different types of echocardiograms depending on your health care needs. A traditional echocardiogram can determine whether you have cardiac blockages or other heart health issues if you experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pressure, or chest pain.
