Diagnostic Imaging
Our Approach
We know it can be stressful when you’re undergoing medical tests and waiting for a diagnosis. At Providence St. Joseph Medical Center diagnostic imaging, we use leading-edge technologies to create high-quality images to evaluate symptoms and injuries. We also aim to lessen your anxiety, keep you comfortable and get results to your doctors as quickly as possible.
Services and Procedures
Professionals who may be involved in your care include certified radiologic technologists, radiologists, and registered nurses.

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.

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.

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.
-
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.
