Diagnosing Your Pain

Advanced imaging technology – from head to toe
The Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging Department at Mary Greeley Medical Center offers advanced diagnostic and pathologic equipment and techniques to diagnose orthopedic problems from head to toe.
Just a few of the high-tech tools we use to detect and diagnose orthopedic-related conditions include:
Computed Tomography (CT)
Computed tomography, also known as CT or CAT, directs multiple narrow beams of X-rays (radiation) around a specific body site that creates a multidimensional view of a patient’s body.

Diagnostic X-ray
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a radiation-free, usually noninvasive way to produce high-quality pictures inside the body from multiple planes. MRI picks up the body’s radiofrequency signals and converts them into three-dimensional images.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves and their echoes. An advantage of ultrasound is that it visualizes internal structures without using radiation, and it can guide procedures such as biopsies.
