DEXA stands for “Dual-energy X-Ray Absorptiometry”, which is a means of measuring bone density. The denser the bones are, the stronger they are and therefore less likely to break (fracture).

CT Scan

A CT scanner creates detailed images of the inside of your body. A series of images taken from different angles are processed that can identify the tiniest abnormalities in your bones, organs, and blood vessels.

Mammography

Mammography uses X-rays to examine your breasts for early stage breast cancer. You can self-refer for a screening mammogram if you have no known symptoms and you have not had a mammogram within the last year.

Mobile Imaging

Mobile imaging offers high-quality imaging services, including MRI and CT scanning, in movable imaging units that can travel between medical facilities.

MRI Scanning

MRI is a sophisticated method of producing detailed images of the body's internal structures.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a safe and widely used sound wave scan that produces pictures of the inside of your body to help doctors diagnose and treat medical conditions.
