Diagnostic Radiology (X-Ray)
Radiography, known to most people as 'x-ray', is the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. For nearly a century, diagnostic images have been created by passing small, highly controlled amounts of radiation through the human body, capturing the resulting shadows and reflections on a photographic plate. X-ray imaging is the fastest and easiest way for a physician to view and assess broken bones, cracked skulls and injured backbones. At least two films are taken of a bone, and often three films if the problem is around a joint (knee, elbow, or wrist). X-rays also play a key role in Chiropractic and the treatment of sports injuries and automoble injuries. X-ray is useful in detecting more advanced forms of cancer in bones. Very early cancer findings require other methods.
Ultrasound (US)
Ultrasound (US) imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, is a method of obtaining images from inside the human body through the use of high frequency sound waves. The reflected soundwave echoes are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image. No ionizing radiation (x-ray) is involved in ultrasound imaging.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
MRI is ordered by your Chiropractic Physician to evaluate internal body structures without having to use X-ray or surgery. MRI uses the physical properties of magnetic fields, radio waves, and computers to generate images of soft tissues within the body. MRI is a non-invasive procedure and there are no known side or after effects.
Patients are asked to lie on a table and remain still for approximately 30 minutes to one hour depending on the test ordered. During the examination, a faint knocking sound will be heard, which is normal and is the operation of the imaging process. The images are formed from signals emitted by tissue in the body. The MRI process captures different tissue characteristics and translates them into different contrast levels on the image.
CatScan (CT)
Computed Tomography is a diagnostic imaging procedure that combines the use of x-rays with computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (slices) of the body. The images produced by this scan are more detailed than those of an ordinary x-ray (or radiograph).
