Diagnostic imaging procedures we provide
At UT Health Jacksonville, our skilled medical imaging specialists provide the following diagnostic procedures:
- Bone densitometry (bone DXA scans): This advanced X-ray technology measures bone loss and is especially effective in detecting osteoporosis. It provides detailed bone density assessments.
- Cardiac calcium scoring: Utilizing a noninvasive CT scan, this test evaluates the presence, location, and extent of calcified plaque in coronary arteries. It’s cruciabal for assessing heart attack risk.
- CT scans with iDose technology: Our cutting-edge multislice CT scanners are equipped with iDose radiation reduction software. They optimize radiation doses based on individual weight and age, and produce detailed 3-D images for detecting blood clots, fractures, tumors, infections, and diseases.
- 3D Digital mammography: Essential for early breast cancer detection, digital mammography screens for breast abnormalities and tumors, offering clearer and more precise images.
- Digital radiography: This form of X-ray imaging uses digital sensors instead of traditional photographic film for advantages like immediate viewing and the ability to enhance images.
- Full-field digital radiography: This advanced X-ray imaging employs digital sensors instead of traditional film, allowing for instant image viewing and enhanced quality. Our machines use lower radiation doses for increased safety, and we also provide portable full-field X-ray units for bedside imaging.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Our facility houses a 1.5 Tesla MRI machine, enhanced with the latest software upgrades, making it one of the most sophisticated diagnostic tools available.
- Nuclear medicine: This testing method involves injecting a low-dose radioactive tracer into the bloodstream to examine specific organ functions. It is instrumental in identifying cancers, diseases, disorders, and in monitoring responses to medical treatments. The radioactivity typically dissipates within 24 hours post-test.
- Ultrasound and echocardiography: We offer a variety of ultrasound machines that use sound waves to create images of internal organs and structures, aiding in detailed internal examinations.
- X-ray imaging: X-ray imaging is a diagnostic technique that uses small doses of ionizing radiation to create images of the inside of the body. These images help medical professionals view and diagnose conditions related to bones, teeth, and internal organs.
