MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI or MR) is a quick, safe, and by far the most comfortable imaging technique available. MRI utilizes a powerful magnet, advanced computer system and radio waves to produce detailed and accurate pictures of certain organs and tissues. MRI has been a leading imaging exam in diagnosing a variety of medical conditions.
CT Scanning
Computed Axial Tomography (CT or Cat Scan) is a type of imaging procedure that uses special X-ray equipment to obtain image data from different angles around the body, and then uses computer processing of the information to show cross sectional images of the body tissues and organs.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Medicine is a diagnostic procedure used to diagnose and detect abnormalities and the progression of certain diseases. Nuclear medicine exams help show organ function or the lack of organ function. Radio-pharmaceuticals may be used to aide in identifying pathology.
Cardiac Imaging
Nuclear Medicine Stress Testing consists of a small injection of radioisotope, which circulates in the bloodstream and shows if your heart muscle is receiving adequate blood supply under stress and / rest conditions. At Universal Imaging our experienced staff will take the time to explain all aspects of the testing. Your physician will sometimes prescribe a Myocardial Perfusion Stress Test instead of the basic stress test depending on your personal needs.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging, or sometimes referred to as ultrasound scanning or sonography, is a method commonly used to obtain images from inside the body through the use of high frequency sound waves.
DEXA
DEXA (bone densitometry) is used most often to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition that often affects women after menopause, but may also be found in men. Osteoporosis involves a gradual loss of calcium, causing the bones to become thinner, more fragile, and more likely to break. The DEXA test can also assess your risk for developing fractures.
X-ray
X-ray is the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. X-rays can produce diagnostic images of the human body on film or digitally on a computer screen. X-ray involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of radiation to produce an image of the internal organs. When x-rays penetrate the body, they are absorbed in varying amounts by different tissues.
