To schedule an appointment, please call (907) 264-2020.

General Diagnostic X-Ray

A common basic diagnostic tool used in healthcare, x-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just like  visible light. Individual particles (photons) pass through the body and are detected by a highly sensitive imaging plate that is transmitted into a sharp digital image.

Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique commonly used by Physicians to obtain real-time “moving” images of a patient’s internal organs and structures.

Computed Tomography

 Combines thin cross-sections of digital images in multiple planes to provide detailed diagnostic information in all areas of the body.  Biopsies and other treatments can be performed using CT Scanning.

Ultrasound

Commonly called sonography or ultrasonography, this utilizes high-frequency sound waves to display moving, 3D images of the inside of the body on a monitor. No radiation is involved with ultrasound imaging procedures.           

MRI – Magnetic Resonance Imaging

MRI acquires images of the body using powerful magnets and radiofrequency waves. It can reveal medical conditions and better details of soft-tissue anatomy that are not easily diagnosed through an X-Ray, ultrasound or CT scan. Our MRI department is accredited by the American College of Radiology.

Nuclear Medicine

A powerful camera is used to generate crystal-clear images to quickly detect and characterize disease.   Nuclear Medicine provides more information in terms of physiological or actual functions within the body as opposed to just anatomical.

Digital Mammography

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