CT Scan - combines X-rays and computer scans to create images of the body. The result is a detailed picture that can show soft tissues, organs and bones.
Nuclear Medicine- involves the use of small amounts of radioactive materials (or tracers) to help diagnose and treat a variety of diseases. (At Total Care Imaging only)
Ultrasound - uses sound waves to form pictures of the body's interior.
Bone Densitometry - uses low-energy X-rays to scan the lower back, hip or forearm. This helps to help diagnose osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones and makes them more brittle and susceptible to fracture. (At Total Care Imaging only)
Digital Mammography – Screening and Diagnostic Mammography is offered at Park Avenue Diagnostic Center and the Women’s Center at Saint Francis Hospital – Memphis.
