Diagnostic Imaging Services Offered:

A C-Arm machine is an advanced medical imaging device that works on the basic premise of X-ray technology.

It converts X-rays into clear visible light better than ordinary fluorescent screens. With this intensifying effect, low-intensity X-rays are conveniently seen in a brighter manner, helping the physicians to view the X-rayed object more clearly. It produces a clear picture output of what is inside, which is a very important trait needed to do an accurate diagnosis of an issue.

C-Arm systems are used in places where greater flexibility is required. They are used in Orthopedic procedures, cardiac, and angiography studies, and in therapeutic studies including stents and line placements. Since it is an overhead X-ray image intensifier, the physician can get a real-time clear-cut view of the anatomic structures of the patients.

A CT Scan, also known as CAT Scan, provides detailed 2D images of nearly all parts of the body. Advanced software also enables 3D reconstruction of some scans.

A DEXA scan usually assesses or measures bone density. It can also be used to determine body composition, such as the percentage of lean muscle and fat.

The dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan uses two low-energy X-ray beams, which doctors direct toward the bones. Using dual-energy levels separates the images into two components, including soft tissue and bone.

When determining whether a person has low bone density or whether their condition is getting worse, a DEXA scan tends to be more accurate than a typical X-ray because it can detect even small changes in bone loss.

An echo, also known as an echocardiogram, is a type of ultrasound examination that uses sound waves to create moving images of the heart. Echoes can also pinpoint areas of the heart that aren’t contracting because of poor blood flow or injury from a previous heart attack.

An MRI is a noninvasive medical test that providers use to diagnose and treat medical conditions. MRIs use a powerful magnetic field and pulsing radio frequency to produce detailed imaging of tissues, ligaments, tendons, organs, and virtually all other internal body structures.

Haxtun Health refers MRI’s out.

A mammogram is an X-ray picture of the breast. Doctors use a mammogram to look for early signs of breast cancer. Regular mammograms can find breast cancer early, sometimes up to three years before it can be felt.

Haxtun Health refers mammography screenings out.

An ultrasound is a noninvasive medical test that displays images of the body using sound waves. Haxtun Health offers both general diagnostic and vascular ultrasound examinations.

Our ultrasound machine is often used by our Specialty Clinic for certain procedures.

This radiology test provides images helpful in detecting fractures, dislocations, infections, arthritis and many other conditions that aid in accurate diagnosis.
