At Fox Valley Imaging, our advanced facility functions cutting-edge imaging machines and trained, experienced technicians who will help to make your experience quick and convenient. They are right there to respond to any concerns you may come with and also to operate the imaging machines to give the finest services available for you and your physician. Our services have:.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to see internal structures of the body in detailed information. MRI makes use of the property of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body.
MRI scans are one of the safest of all imaging examinations. The procedure does not necessarily require the use of ionizing radiation, and the contrast media used through an MRI has very low incidence of negative effects. Today’s MRI scans produce your physician or specialist with a view of your body from almost any plane. Fox Valley Imaging Center is proud to provide our patients the most up-to-date technology in MRI scanning. Our MRI scanner produces high definition images together with exceptional detail. Aside from that the new technology cuts the scanning time in half, establishing the experience a lot more tolerable.
CT (Computed Tomography). X-ray computed tomography, also computed tomography (CT scan) or computed axial tomography(CAT scan), is a medical imaging technique that utilizes computer-processed X-rays to provide tomographic images or ’slices’ of certain areas of the body. These cross-sectional images are utilized for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in various medical disciplines.
Computed Axial Tomography, widely called a CAT scan or CT Scan, provides today’s physicians with a relatively inexpensive imaging tool for the diagnosis of many different diseases, defects and also injuries. Using digital capture, a CT scan collects several X-ray images and creates an image of the body from cross-sectional slices (or tomograms). Considering the X-ray beams are captured from many different angles, there is much more information found and the absorption rate of the beams can give valuable data regarding the thickness of tissue and the condition of bones. Using a similar dosage of radiation as an ordinary X-ray machine, a CAT scan gives visible images with close to a 100 times even more clarity that can identify very subtle differences in your body tissue.
Ultrasound. Diagnostic sonography (ultrasonography) is an ultrasound-based diagnostic imaging method operated for visualizing subcutaneous body structures consisting of tendons, muscles, joints, vessels and internal organs for possible pathology or lesions.
Digital 3-D and 4-D ultrasound creates images of soft tissue and internal organs by reflecting sound waves off the internal anatomic structures. Consequently, our radiologists have additional information of a better quality to make use of for a successful diagnosis. Fox Valley Imaging utilizes the most advanced technologies for digital ultrasound imaging to support the diagnostic process for physicians in several specialties including Obstetrics, Internal Medicines, Oncology, Gynecology, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Urology and Cardiology.
Digital X-Rays. Digital radiography is a form of X-ray imaging, where digital X-ray sensors are utilized rather than traditional photographic film. Advantages consist of time efficiency by means of bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally move and enhance images.
Digital X-Ray is the latest standard in Diagnostic Imaging. By operating digital technology the scan time is lessened dramatically and the repeat exposure is minimized. Digital images could be saved on a CD and sent with the patient. Unlike the traditional x-ray we are able to manipulate the images and perform measurements electronically. That shows more information for your treating physician.
Bone Density Scanning. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is a method of measuring bone mineral density (BMD). Two X-ray beams having different energy levels are aimed at the patient’s bones. If soft tissue absorption is taken out, the BMD can be identified from the absorption of each beam by bone. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the most widely utilized and most carefully examined bone density measurement technology.
Echocardiography. Echocardiogram, normally referred to cardiac echo or simply an echo is a sonogram of the heart. (It is not abbreviated as ECG, which in medicine usually knowns as an electrocardiogram.) Echocardiography uses standard two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and Doppler ultrasound to create images of the heart.
Echocardiography has become consistently utilized in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with any considered or known heart diseases. It is one of the most commonly used diagnostic tests in cardiology. It can provide a wealth of important information, consisting of the size and shape of the heart (internal chamber size quantification), pumping capacity, and the location and extent of any tissue damage. An Echocardiogram can also give physicians other estimates of heart function including a calculation of the cardiac output, ejection fraction, and diastolic function (how well the heart relaxes).
Video Fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy is an imaging method that uses X-rays to get real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient with the use of a fluoroscope. In its simplest method, a fluoroscope consists of an X-ray source and fluorescent screen among which a patient is placed. However, modern fluoroscopes couple the screen to an X-ray image intensifier and CCD video camera enabling the images to be captured and played on a monitor.
