The Radiology Department offers a number of services: MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body (example: brain, abdomen, upper and lower extremities). The area of the body being imaged is placed inside a tunnel-like machine and digital pictures are saved on the computer. MRI’s can be done for many reasons including but not limited to injury, bleeding, tumors and infection. It is often used to learn more about a problem that was seen on other imaging tests like X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan or nuclear medicine. Each exam can take as little as 30-60 minutes or as long as 2 hours. The MRI department is open Monday through Friday from 7am-5pm.

You have had an exam that required the use of a small amount of radioactive tracer material, known as a radiopharmaceutical, usually as an injection, something you eat, or sometimes as a gas that you inhale. Radiation exposure from tracers is minimal, and we carefully tailor the dose to each patient, using as little radiation as possible. The tracer will lose its radioactivity, usually over the first 24 hours following the test, and pass out of your body naturally. You may set off radiation alarms at airports, border crossings, and other places protected by Homeland Security for the next several days. Please inform the nuclear medicine technologist if you might go through one of these areas in the near future.

Computed tomography (CT) involves a rotating x-ray tube, combined with a digital computer to obtain detailed, cross sectional images of the body. CT scans provide better clarity and reveal more information than regular x-ray exams. CT imaging has the unique ability to differentiate types of tissue such as body organs, soft tissue, bone, muscle, and blood vessels which aid in defining pathological processes. The thorough images acquired by CT provide essential information for the radiologist to interpret and conclude an appropriate diagnosis.
Hours of Operation
CT scan is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Outpatient imaging appointments are available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
