At Fox Valley Imaging, our up-to-date facility functions cutting-edge imaging machines and qualified, experienced technicians who will serve to make your experience fast and convenient. They are right there to answer any concerns you may have as well as to operate the imaging machines to provide the finest services available for you and your physician. Our services are:.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize internal structures of the body in detailed information. MRI utilizes the ability of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body.
MRI scans are just one of the safest of all imaging examinations. The procedure does not necessarily need the use of ionizing radiation, and the contrast media utilized during an MRI has very low incidence of side effects. Nowadays’s MRI scans give your physician or specialist with a viewpoint of your body with almost any plane. Fox Valley Imaging Center is proud to offer our patients the newest technology in MRI scanning. Our MRI scanner produces high definition images together with exceptional detail. Aside from that the new technology cuts the scanning time in half, establishing the experience a lot more tolerable.
CT (Computed Tomography). X-ray computed tomography, also computed tomography (CT scan) or computed axial tomography(CAT scan), is a medical imaging technique that utilizes computer-processed X-rays to provide tomographic images or ’slices’ of certain areas of the body. These cross-sectional images are utilized for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in different medical disciplines.
Computed Axial Tomography, popularly called a CAT scan or CT Scan, provides today’s physicians with a relatively inexpensive imaging tool for the diagnosis of many different diseases, defects and injuries. Making use of digital capture, a CT scan gathers numerous X-ray images and develops a picture of the body from cross-sectional slices (or tomograms). Considering the X-ray beams are recorded from many different angles, there is even more information found and the absorption rate of the beams can provide important data pertaining to the thickness of tissue and the condition of bones. Using a same dosage of radiation as a normal X-ray machine, a CAT scan gives visible images with close to a 100 times much more clarity that can identify very subtle differences in your body tissue.
Ultrasound. Diagnostic sonography (ultrasonography) is an ultrasound-based diagnostic imaging technique operated for visualizing subcutaneous body structures including tendons, muscles, joints, vessels and internal organs for possible pathology or lesions.
Digital 3-D and 4-D ultrasound creates pictures of soft tissue and internal organs by reflecting sound waves off the internal anatomic structures. Consequently, our radiologists have a lot more information of a greater quality to utilize for an effective diagnosis. Fox Valley Imaging utilizes the most advanced technologies for digital ultrasound imaging to support the diagnostic process for physicians in numerous specialties including Obstetrics, Internal Medicines, Oncology, Gynecology, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Urology and Cardiology.
Digital X-Rays. Digital radiography is a kind of X-ray imaging, where digital X-ray sensors are used instead of common photographic film. Benefits such as time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally move and enhance images.
Digital X-Ray is the new standard in Diagnostic Imaging. By using digital technology the scan time is lessened dramatically and the repeat exposure is minimized. Digital images could be stored on a CD and sent with the patient. Contrary to the typical x-ray we are able to manipulate the images and do measurements electronically. That shows more information for your treating physician.
Bone Density Scanning. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is a method of measuring bone mineral density (BMD). Two X-ray beams with different energy levels are intendeded for the patient’s bones. If soft tissue absorption is subtracted out, the BMD can be determined from the absorption of each beam by bone. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the most commonly used and most carefully studied bone density measurement technology.
Echocardiography. Echocardiogram, often referred to cardiac echo or simply an echo is a sonogram of the heart. (It is not shortened as ECG, which in medicine usually describes an electrocardiogram.) Echocardiography operates standard two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and Doppler ultrasound to form images of the heart.
Echocardiography has become consistently utilized in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with any suspected or known heart diseases. It is one of the most commonly used diagnostic tests in cardiology. It can provide a wealth of important information, including the size and shape of the heart (internal chamber size quantification), pumping capacity, and the location and extent of any tissue damage. An Echocardiogram can also provide physicians many other estimates of heart function such as a calculation of the cardiac output, ejection fraction, and diastolic function (how well the heart relaxes).
Video Fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy is an imaging method that uses X-rays to get real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient through the use of a fluoroscope. In its simplest form, a fluoroscope is composed of an X-ray source and fluorescent screen between which a patient is placed. Although, modern fluoroscopes couple the screen to an X-ray image intensifier and CCD video camera letting the images for being recorded and played on a monitor.
