Imaging Services Offered at Trinity Health

PET/CT–

An advanced imaging technique that combines positron emission tomography (PET) with CT in one exam to diagnose, stage, or restage malignant disease.

Computed Tomography (CT) –

Emits a series of narrow beams through the human body as it moves in an arc – then processes the images to create a 3D cross-sectional picture of the body.

Ultrasound–

The use of high frequency sound-waves to produce images of the body’s organs and structures – commonly used to monitor the growth and development of an unborn child, detect abnormalities of the heart function and physiology, and detect abnormal widening or narrowing of the blood vessels.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)–

Uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of the organs and structures inside the body.

Nuclear Medicine–

Introduces radioactive tracers into the part of the body being examined.  The tracers emit gamma ray energy, which is detected by a special camera and a computer to create images of the body to help identify disease.

Diagnostic X-ray–

A type of radiation that sends particles through the body to generate images of the body’s structures.

3D Mammography–

Features wide-angle image acquisition to capture multiple images of the breast from many angles, giving radiologists a more detailed view of the breast and enhancing detection of tumors, even in dense breast tissue.

Low-dose CT–

A low-dose version of the familiar CT, used as a safe screening tool for lung cancer or to identify lung cancer at an early, more treatable stage.

Cardiac Catheterization–

Specialized technology used to visualize coronary vessels to diagnose blockages and perform interventional procedures such as angioplasty.

Interventional Radiology–

The use of image-guided, minimally invasive techniques to deliver targeted treatments for a variety of medical conditions.
