At UT Health Tyler, our skilled medical imaging specialists provide the following diagnostic procedures:
- CT scans: Our cutting-edge multislice CT scanners produce detailed 3-D images for detecting blood clots, fractures, tumors, infections, and diseases.
- Digital mammography: Essential for early breast cancer detection, digital mammography screens for breast abnormalities and tumors, offering clearer and more precise images.
- 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: UT Health Tyler offers 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.
