Diagnostic Imaging (MRI, CT, Ultrasound, X-Ray)

MSK ultrasound provides imaging of the body’s musculoskeletal system, which includes hundreds of pieces – some very small – that work together to provide movement. Using ultrasound technology, MSK imaging generates quality pictures of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and joints throughout the body. Radiologists use these images to help diagnose and provide treatment plans for a long list of conditions and injuries, like joint dislocations and ligament tears.

NeuroQuant is a unique software that analyzes a brain MRI to aid in the early detection and treatment of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. Specifically, NeuroQuant measures atrophy (shrinkage) of certain brain structures, which can indicate certain brain conditions. NeuroQuant compares a patient’s brain measurements to the measurements of people with healthy brains who are of the same age, sex and skull size. This software can also be used to monitor changes in the brain over time to determine if and how quickly a disease is progressing.

MR Enterography provides detailed imaging of the small intestine. It works with oral and intravenous (IV) contrast material to pinpoint intestinal problems, such as inflammation, internal bleeding, and tears in the intestinal wall. This noninvasive dedicated MRI procedure helps radiologists diagnose Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Crone’s Disease and more.
