Bone mineral density (BMD) is a test that measures the amount of calcium in a specific region of the bones to estimate your bone strength.

A computed tomography (CT) scan (also called a computerized axial tomography, or CAT scan) is a special type of X-ray that can produce detailed pictures of structures inside the body. This advanced imaging service produces clearer pictures of internal organs than a regular X-ray.

Mammography is the most accurate method of detecting breast cancer today. Women who follow a regimen of monthly breast self-exams, annual exams by their doctors and annual mammograms after age 40 can increase their breast cancer survival rates by up to 97 percent.

At Baptist Health, we offer two types of mammograms: Digital mammograms and 3D mammograms.

Digital Mammography

Digital mammography takes an electronic image of the breast and stores it directly in a computer, allowing the recorded data to be enhanced, magnified or optimized for further evaluation.

Digital mammogram images are available immediately and can be quickly transmitted to a physician’s office or other facilities.

3D Mammography

The 3D mammogram allows providers to catch breast cancer earlier, resulting in more favorable outcomes for patients.

Fluoroscopy uses a continuous beam of X-rays to evaluate structures and movement within the body, such as blood traveling through a blood vessel, the diaphragm moving up and down or food moving through the digestive tract. A contrast material that shows up on X-rays can be injected or swallowed during fluoroscopy to outline blood vessels or organs.

One of our advanced imaging services, a focused ultrasound is an innovative, incision-less outpatient procedure for individuals with Essential Tremor (ET) or Parkinson’s Disease who want better tremor relief beyond medications.

Through state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, icobrain from icometrix examines brain volumes, abnormalities and subtle brain volume changes over time. This advanced imaging service helps radiologists and neurologists detect and monitor neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, dementia and traumatic brain injury more quickly and accurately.

A low-dose CT lung screening uses X-rays to create detailed pictures of your lungs. Meant for current or former smokers, a low dose CT lung screening can reveal potentially-cancerous abnormalities on the lungs that a traditional chest X-ray could miss.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an imaging procedure that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to provide pictures of organs and structures inside the body.

Nuclear medicine is one of our advanced imaging services that uses computer technology and radioactive substances to produce images of the body and treat disease. This imaging service is particularly useful for detecting tumors, aneurysms, irregular blood flow to tissues and inadequate functioning of certain organs.

A PET/CT Scan (Positron Emission Tomography) is an imaging test that checks for cancer and diseases in the body. PET uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers or radiopharmaceuticals, a special camera, and a computer to evaluate organ and tissue functions.

UFE is a less invasive technique intended to block the flow of blood to uterine fibroids, depriving them of the oxygen and nutrients they require to grow. This advanced imaging service is performed under conscious sedation and typically lasts less than one hour.

Ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure that emits high-frequency sound waves that produce echoes from the internal tissues and organs. The echoes are then converted to electric signals to create an image that shows organs and tissues inside the body.

The oldest form of medical imaging, a radiograph or X-ray helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. An X-ray works by using a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the body’s internal structures.
