Digital X-ray and Fluoroscopy

Advantages of Digital Radiology
Digital radiology provides many significant advantages, both for diagnostic and surgical procedures. Images can be viewed immediately, eliminating repeat procedures due to technologist error. In compliance with HIPAA privacy standards, your ordering physician can quickly obtain the results of your procedure over the internet, without waiting to receive a transcribed report. Common procedures performed include:
Carotid procedures allow physicians to perform arteriograms on the carotid arteries to look for blockage.
Myelogram procedures allow physicians to image the spinal cord and nerve roots to treat back or neck complaints.
Peripheral procedures allow physicians to perform arteriograms on the femoral popliteal arteries to look for blockage.
Renal procedures allow physicians to image the renal arteries to look for causes of high blood pressure, including blockage or stenosis.
Upper GI Esophagrams allow physicians to image the stomach and small bowel to assess for disease.

Our radiography and fluoroscopy equipment is fully digital allowing for excellent image quality, high reliability and quick reporting time.  While standard X-rays provide static images, fluoroscopy allows physicians to see real-time, moving X-ray images on a screen monitor to assist with a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.  For pain management in surgery, we use 9-inch eye C-arm systems which offer quick scan time and reduced radiation exposure for patients.
