Welcome to Radiology
Sometimes your doctor needs radiology, also called medical imaging, to take a close look at what's inside, without performing surgery to do so. At St. Charles Bend, our comprehensive imaging services and the state-of-the art technology we use are a key factor in correctly diagnosing, and in some cases treating, virtually every condition and part of the body. We quickly get the best possible information about your condition and store it in a digital Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS). We also detect the earliest stages of heart disease, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and other conditions giving you and your doctor a head start on treatment.
Imaging services we provide include:
- Diagnostic X-ray
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) using a closed 1.5 Tesla with the latest breast, cardiac and high-resolution imaging
- Ultrasound
- CT (Computed Tomography) using the latest 64-slice VCT (Volume Computed Tomography)
- PET CT (Positron Emission Tomography)
- Nuclear medicine
- Registered Radiology Nurses
- Interventional Radiology (angiogram, nephrostograms, drainages, vascular stent placements) are now offered through St. Charles Cardiovascular Services.
- Cardiac Catheterization (angiograms, cardiac stent placements, cardiac ablations, electrophysiology services or electrical mapping of the heart) are now offered through St. Charles Cardiovascular Services.
Our radiologists and radiology technologists have specialization in specific types of radiology, such as nuclear medicine, ultrasound and other technology and procedures. Together with our team of registered nurses who are specially trained in radiology, we are dedicated to helping you get the right diagnosis and treatment.
