We’ll work closely with your referring physician to determine the most appropriate imaging test based on your specific symptoms, medical history, and overall health.
Exploring Our Comprehensive Radiology Services
At Elkhart General Hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of radiology services, including:
- X-ray: This common imaging test uses low doses of radiation to produce images of bones and internal organs.
- Ultrasound: This non-invasive procedure uses sound waves to create images of organs and tissues. It’s often used during pregnancy and to evaluate the heart, blood vessels, and abdominal organs.
- CT Scan: This imaging technique combines X-rays taken from different angles to create detailed cross-sectional images of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues.
- MRI: This powerful imaging test uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues. It’s particularly useful for evaluating the brain, spine, joints, and muscles.
