Medical imaging refers to several different technologies that are used to view the human body in order to diagnose, monitor, or treat medical conditions.
Medical scans help doctors diagnose everything from head trauma to foot pain.
There are many different types of imaging technologies.
Each works differently.
Some types of imaging tests use radiation.
For all exams that use X-rays, we ask that you not wear metal around the area being imaged.
This applies to all bone mineral densitometry, bone scan with SPECT/CT, CT, pain management, and mammography exams.
For MRI exams, no metal can be worn (underwire bras, jewelry, clothing, etc.)
