perform include the following and more:
Computed Tomography (CT): A sophisticated imaging technique that provides detailed images of the
body's internal structures.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): A non-invasive procedure that uses powerful magnetic fields to create
detailed images of organs and tissues within the body.
Ultrasound: Utilizes high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the body's internal
structures. It's particularly useful for examining soft tissues and fluid-filled
structures within the body.
Nuclear Medicine: A specialty that utilizes small amounts of radioactive materials to diagnose
and treat various diseases.
Interventional Radiology: A minimally invasive, targeted treatment option guided by imaging. It's
often used as an alternative to surgery.

tools in breast cancer detection and diagnosis.
Bone Densitometry: An imaging test that measures bone loss, primarily used in the diagnosis
of osteoporosis.
Why should I have my imaging exam done at an accredited facility?
When you see the gold seals of accreditation prominently displayed in our

of Accreditation.
To achieve the ACR Gold Standard of Accreditation, our facility's personnel
qualifications, equipment requirements, quality assurance, and quality
control procedures have gone through a rigorous review process and have
met specific qualifications. It's important for patients to know that
every aspect of the ACR accreditation process is overseen by board-certified,
expert radiologists and medical physicists in advanced diagnostic imaging.
