Mammography

Mammography is a specific type of imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam can aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast disease in women.

Our Radiology Department uses Lorad M-IV breast imaging equipment, which offers enhanced comfort for patients through a special fully automated self-adjusting tilt paddle called the "Gentle Touch". The equipment also offers reduced x-ray exposure time, less motion, and exceptionally high quality, high–resolution images.

Computed Tomography (CT)

Computed tomography is a medical imaging method that can generate a three-dimensional image of the object, from a large series of two-dimensional x-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation. Our spiral CT-scanner provides advanced diagnostic services.

Ultrasound

Our ultrasound equipment is digital ready, and connected to a teleradiology network, which allows images to be stored and sent to radiologists.

X-Ray

We have the capability to image a wide variety of radiographic procedures, including IVPs (X-rays of the kidney), as well as general X-ray procedures and fluoroscopy.
