Mammography - A mammogram is an X-ray examination that provides highly detailed images of the internal structure of the breast. Mammography plays a central role in the early detection of breast cancer. Offered at the Parliament Avenue location.
Fluoroscopy - Fluoroscopy produces real-time images of internal structures of the body in a similar fashion to radiography, but employs a constant input of X-rays. Contrast media, such as barium, iodine, and air are used to visualize internal organs as they work. Fluoroscopy is also used in image-guided procedures when constant feedback during a procedure is required. Offered at the Parliament Avenue location.
X-Ray - X-rays are the most frequently used form of medical imaging. Conventional X-rays are performed for a variety of reasons, but are most commonly done to detect problems in the bones and chest. Offered at the Parliament Avenue and University Park locations.
Ultrasound - Ultrasound or high frequency sound waves can be bounced off of tissues using special devices. The echoes are then converted into a picture called a sonogram. Ultrasound imaging, referred to as ultrasonography, allows physicians and patients to get an inside view of soft tissues and body cavities, without using invasive techniques. Offered at the Parliament Avenue location.
