Ultrasound (General, Musculoskeletal and Obstetrical)

During the ultrasound, you will be positioned on an exam table and a clear gel will be applied to your skin. The gel is used to eliminate air bubbles between the transducer and your body, since sound waves travel very poorly through air. The transducer is pressed against the skin and moved back and forth to visualize the area of interest. It is usually painless, although you may experience some discomfort from the pressure applied by the transducer. The length of the examination will depend on the type of ultrasound needed. You may return to your normal activities after the exam.

Vascular Ultrasound

Vascular ultrasounds are a non-invasive test used to determine how blood flows in arteries and veins in your arms, neck and legs. They use this test to diagnose blood clots, narrowed blood vessels, and other vascular health conditions.

X-Rays

X-rays are fast, easy, and painless. The part of your body to be examined will be properly positioned, and several different views may be obtained. The technologist will instruct you to hold still, and in some cases, hold your breath while the x-ray is being taken to eliminate blurring. You may return to your normal activities after the x-ray.

Mammography

This exam is performed by a certified radiographer. The mammogram will always be performed by a female technologist. Special mammography views will be taken, if needed, to analyze your symptoms or mammographic abnormality. In some cases, a breast ultrasound will be performed in conjunction with the mammogram to provide additional information for the radiologist.

Bone Mineral Density (BMD)

Bone densitometry is an enhanced form of x-ray technology that is used to measure bone loss. A BMD scan uses very low levels of radiation to scan the spine and hips, and produce an image. The image is analyzed by a computer and compared against national standards to determine if osteoporosis is present.
