Our diagnostic imaging services

Our skilled radiologists and diagnostic imaging specialists provide a wide range of imaging procedures, including:

Angiography – This medical imaging technique is used to visualize the inside of blood vessels and organs of the body, particularly the arteries, veins, and the heart chambers. This is done by injecting a radiopaque contrast agent into the vascular system and taking X-ray images to identify blockages, abnormalities, or other issues.
Bone density scans (DXA scans) – This test is used to measure bone loss, detect osteoporosis, and check for other bone issues.
Calcium scoring – A noninvasive CT scan gathers information about the presence, location and extent of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. This helps determine your risk of heart attack. UT Health offers calcium scoring with or without a physician referral.
CT scans – Our highly advanced scanners are equipped with iDose radiation reduction software. This system calculates and delivers the lowest dose of radiation possible for individuals based on your weight and age. CT scanning creates detailed 3-D images that help your doctor detect blood clots, fractures, tumors, infection and the presence of disease.
Digital mammography – Essential in the early detection of breast cancer, mammograms done with digital technology allow our fellowship-trained diagnostic radiologist at the UT Health Breast Center to capture and manipulate images in order to check for breast abnormalities and tumors.
Full-field digital radiography: This advanced X-ray imaging test 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.
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) – Our MRI machine has a large opening and uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to produce extremely precise images of tissue inside the body.
Nuclear medicine – This form of testing requires a low-dose radioactive tracer to be injected into the bloodstream to check the function of a specific organ or area of the body. This helps doctors identify cancer, diseases, or disorders. It is also used to check the response of the body to certain medical treatments. Radioactivity typically dissipates 24 hours after the test.
PET scan — Positron emission tomography (PET) scans are a type of nuclear medicine imaging that uses a radioactive tracer to observe metabolic processes in the body. This technique is particularly useful for detecting cancer, monitoring heart function, and evaluating brain abnormalities, as it highlights areas of high biological activity.
Ultrasound – This imaging method allows internal organs and other structures to be observed by transmitting sound waves into the body.
X-ray and portable X-ray imaging – Advancements at UT Health East Texas mean our X-rays are completely digital, making them clearer and easier to read than ever before. Portable X-ray equipment allows us to take the technology to patient rooms, as well.
