Digital X-Rays
We offer the advantages of a complete radiology department with digital x-ray equipment. Digital x-rays use less radiation and produce highly detailed images that our doctors can enlarge and manipulate on a computer screen for better viewing.
Ultrasound
For noninvasive examinations of the body, we have a state-of-the-art ultrasound unit. Ultrasound is ideal for locating tumors and evaluating internal organs, evaluating pregnancies, and guiding needle biopsies. Ultrasound can also help us distinguish fluid from soft tissue.
