Medical Imaging Services
Adventist Health offers state-of-the-art diagnostic services including MRI, digital x-ray, ultrasound, digital mammography, and bone density testing. Services vary by location.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Instead of using radiation, MRIs use strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create an image of the body. MRIs are used to diagnose a number of conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and musculoskeletal disorders, as well as examining the soft tissues of the brain and spine.
Bone densitometry (DEXA) scan
A DEXA scan is an advanced form of X-ray that uses small amounts of radiation to create images of the bones and assess bone density. DEXA scans are painless and most often used to diagnose osteoporosis and bone injuries. These tests are painless and relatively simple.
3D Mammography
3D mammography is proven to provide greater accuracy detecting breast cancer. By taking multiple picture of each breast in just four seconds, a 3D mammogram give radiologists clear, highly focused images of the breast’s tissue, layer by layer. 3D mammography increases detection of all breast cancers by 29 percent and increases detection of invasive breast cancers by 41 percent. 3D mammography results in fewer unnecessary biopsies and reduces call backs by 41 percent.
