Kadlec Outpatient Imaging Center
Kadlec Outpatient Imaging Center
Our Approach
Kadlec’s Outpatient Imaging Center includes some of the most advanced imaging technologies available. We have an all-digital format that provides physicians with imaging results quickly to diagnose and treat patients fast.
Our Services
We offer a wide array of diagnostic imaging services, including:
-
Bone Density Imaging
We can precisely detect the signs of osteoporosis and arthritis with a quick and painless bone density imaging test.
-
Breast Biopsy
Ultrasound-guided and stereotactic breast biopsies allow doctors to evaluate potential breast cancers and provide precise diagnoses and treatment. The tissue is extracted and examined by specialists to determine the presence or cause of a disease.
-
Computerized Tomography Scan (CAT/CT)
CT scans use a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce clear images of the body that can be used to monitor a variety of conditions, including tumors. Our services also include low-dose CT lung cancer screenings and coronary calcium scans to help evaluate calcium deposits that may have collected in the heart’s arteries.
-
Imaging
Diagnostic or medical imaging is a powerful tool to help doctors diagnose a condition and plan treatment.
-
Lung Cancer Screening
Used as a preventive measure to ensure better chances of survival for those who develop cancer symptoms.
-
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
An MRI is an advanced digital imaging method that uses a harmless magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed pictures of the body.
-
Mammography
Mammograms are one of the most important tools doctors have in breast cancer prevention and early detection. Our services also include 3D mammography, which is similar to getting a standard 2D mammogram, except that the X-ray takes more images and combines them to create a clearer, three-dimensional view of the breast.
-
Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
A PET scan is a nuclear imaging procedure that uses a combination of computer technology and a radioactive imaging agent called a tracer to produce clear, high-resolution images of the body and its various functions in real-time and in 3D. They allow doctors to evaluate a wide range of conditions – including brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and a variety of cancers – and provide more accurate diagnoses, targeted treatments and better outcomes for our patients.
-
Ultrasound
An ultrasound, sometimes called a sonogram, is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses inaudible high-frequency sound waves emitted through the body to create an image of your internal organs on screen. Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body’s internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.
With the ultrasound, your doctor is able to assess blood flow through various vessels and the overall condition of some of your most vital organs, such as the liver, spleen, gallbladder and kidneys.
-
X-ray
An X-ray is a diagnostic procedure that uses invisible beams of energy to produce images of the body’s internal structures, such as tissues, organs and bones.
Breast Care Services
All women over 40 years old should get an annual mammogram to prevent breast cancer. Early detection is the key to saving lives. Kadlec is the only American College of Radiology (ACR) accredited Breast Imaging Center of Excellence in our area. We are accredited in:
- Mammography
- Stereotactic biopsy
- Breast ultrasound
- Ultrasound-guided breast biopsy
- Breast MRI
- MRI Breast Biopsies
Kadlec offers 3D Tomosynthesis Digital Mammography which is the most advanced technology for breast cancer screening. The radiologist can see the whole breast in three dimensions. It increases the detection of invasive breast cancer by up to 40% compared to 2D mammography. 3D Digital mammography also decreases the chance of being called back for second look imaging. 2D mammography is still available upon request.
If you don't have insurance, or are not able to afford a mammogram, you may qualify for the Kadlec Foundation Mammogram Assistance program. Call to find out more.
Prevention4ME Risk Assessment
We offer Prevention4ME, a personalized risk assessment tool that helps you understand your likelihood of developing breast and other cancers. Up to 10% of all cancers are linked to inherited genetic mutations, yet most women are unaware of their risk.
When you schedule a mammogram, you'll receive an invitation to complete the simple online assessment, which evaluates your lifetime breast cancer risk, breast density and eligibility for genetic testing based on nationally recognized guidelines.
Once your results are ready, our team will walk you through your findings and any recommended next steps, including personalized care options and genetic testing guidance if you qualify. To learn more, call or email us.
Importance of Getting Regular Mammograms
Providence encourages every woman to talk to her doctor, beginning at age 40, about when to start breast cancer screening through regular mammograms.
