Radiology
Radiology (X-rays): When radiographs are needed, we use a state of the art digital radiology system, allowing our doctors to quickly image the heart and lungs, abdominal organs, and bones and joints. We are also able to provide you with a digital copy on a flash drive of these images if a referral to a specialist is required. We have access to a board-certified radiologist to consult on difficult cases as needed by transmitting the images via the internet and often having their opinion in less than 24 hours.
Ultrasound: Ultrasound: We are able to provide ultrasound imaging using a sophisticated BK Medical SonixOne ultrasound machine. In particularly difficult cases, we are able to request real-time assistance from radiology technicians when needed to gather images for a board-certified radiologist to interpret as well as offer our interpretation on the spot. Using ultrasound alone or in combination with traditional radiographs increases our ability to characterize the nature of diseases affecting the abdomen and thorax (chest).
