Services Offered at Forsyth Medical Center Radiology Services
-
CT Scan (CAT Scan)
- CT (Computerized Tomography) is a detailed x-ray that allows us to see organs that cannot be seen with normal x-rays. For example, you might need a CT scan of the brain, liver, kidney or lungs.
-
Diagnostic X-ray
- Diagnostic X-rays are used to examine internal structures of the chest, back, foot, hand, or other bony structures and soft tissues.
-
Fluoroscopy
- Fluoroscopy is an imaging process that is generally used to evaluate the upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The process of viewing the lower GI tract is called a Barium Enema. During this exam, a radiologist will be present to view the images while they're being taken.
- IVP - IVU (Intravenous Pyelogram)
-
MRI
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) generates images of the body without using radiation. Instead an MRI uses strong magnets and radio waves to create an image. In many cases, such as with the brain, an MRI provides the best detailed image available. In other instances, a CT Scan may be more effective, depending on the part of the body being evaluated.
- Myelography
-
Nuclear Medicine
- Nuclear Medicine is another imaging technique that uses advanced technology. Specialized medicines are injected into the body and go to specific organs such as the heart, bone or liver. Then we obtain images of, or measure functional information about, these organs.
- Operating Room Imaging
-
Special Procedures - Angiography and Interventional
- Interventional radiologists are specially trained Radiologists who use X-rays and other imaging techniques to guide narrow tubes (catheters) and other very small instruments through the blood vessels and other parts of the body to the site of concern. They can treat a variety of medical disorders without surgery. Procedures performed by interventional radiologists (IRs) involve smaller incisions, less pain, and shorter hospital stays generally resulting in less cost to the patient.
- Tomography
-
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound is a specialized tool that looks inside the body using sound waves (as opposed to x-rays which use radiation). It is excellent for evaluating many, but not all, areas of the body. Ultrasound is especially effective for examining interior body cavities like the abdomen.
