Imaging Technologies

  • MRI GE 1.5T Scanner. Features faster scan times, and expands imaging capabilities in neurology, cardiovascular and orthopedic applications. More information (see the article "New MRI Center Opens at Strong").

  • PET/CT Scanner. Merges images from both technologies into one scan, significantly improving physicians’ ability to accurately diagnose and guide treatment plans for cancer, cardiac and, more recently, Alzheimer’s patients. More information.

  • SenoScan Digital Mammography. Provides sharper images and faster results than conventional film scans. More information.

  • Virtual Colonoscopy. Advanced visualization techniques are used to create a virtual image and exploration of the colon. This procedure offers several advantages over conventional colonoscopy. It is non-invasive, takes less time, and does not require sedation.

  • Given Diagnostic Imaging System. A tiny camera inside a pill is used to image the small intestine, snapping pictures at a rate of two per second. More information.

  • 3-D Cystoscope. Offers clearer, sharper digital images, making it easier to identify bladder lesions. More information (see Urology article).

  • New in early 2006! The region's first 3-Tesla MRI machine.
