Diagnostic imaging includes a variety of techniques that allow doctors to see inside your body to find the cause of an illness or injury and confirm a diagnosis. The type of imaging used depends on your injury or symptoms and the area of your body that needs to be examined. Most of these tests are noninvasive and aid doctors in diagnosing and treating various injuries and diseases.
MRI is a powerful tool for assessing soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. Our state-of-the-art MRI scanner provides detailed, high-resolution images to detect injuries or abnormalities that may not appear on X-rays. MRI is especially helpful for diagnosing joint injuries, spinal conditions, and sports-related issues, allowing our providers to tailor treatment precisely to your needs.
Our digital X-ray technology provides high-quality images to evaluate bones and joints. X-rays are commonly used to identify fractures, dislocations, arthritis, and other bone conditions, giving your provider the information needed to create an effective treatment plan.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. This safe, non-invasive imaging method is ideal for evaluating tendon injuries, fluid collections, and guiding injections or other treatments with precision. Ultrasound provides immediate results, so your care team can act quickly and effectively. Ultrasound imaging is also used to guide in-office carpal tunnel release, a minimally invasive procedure for treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Learn more about the benefits of this approach here.
