Imaging Services Available
64 Slice CT Scan
The 64 slice CT scanner is Knapp’s latest diagnostic tool. This state-of-the-art
machine covers more anatomy, with greater accuracy, than before. The superior
image clarity offers a faster, more accurate diagnosis for earlier detection
of abnormal changes in the body. This technology allows for expanded services
such as precise cardiac imaging, virtual colonoscopies, and updated treatments
for cancer patients.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
An MRI is a noninvasive, painless procedure in which radio waves and powerful
magnets linked to a computer, can create detailed pictures of internal
organs and tissues. These pictures can help diagnose many conditions in
all parts of the body.
Echocardiography
Also known as a cardiac ultrasound, echocardiography employs real-time
imaging for a quick and accurate assessment of the overall health of the heart.
Digital Mammogram
Knapp’s advanced digital mammography unit allows for a more accurate
diagnosis in half the time of film-based exams. With higher resolution
images and computer-aided detection (CAD), the need for additional pictures
is reduced.
Stereotactic Breast Core Biopsies
This procedure is a safe and minimally invasive way to obtain tiny samples
from an abnormal breast mass for examination by a pathologist. A sample
of suspect breast tissue is precisely located with a computer-guided imaging
system and removed with a needle. The procedure is completed on an outpatient
basis with a minimum of discomfort and recovery time.
DEXA (Osteoporosis Screening)
This enhanced form of x-ray technology is a quick and painless way to measure
bone loss, estimate risk of future fractures and accurately diagnose osteoporosis.
Digital Radiography
Our diagnostic x-ray department utilizes digital technology for routine
x-ray procedures of the spine, abdomen, chest, pelvis and extremities.
Interventional Angiogram
This x-ray exam of the arteries and veins can diagnose blockages, narrowing
in a blood vessel and other blood vessel problems. In many cases, our
radiologist can treat a blocked vessel or place a stent without the need
for surgery.
3-D Ultrasound/Vascular Imaging
Ultrasound imaging is a painless procedure that uses high frequency sound
waves to produce real-time images of tissues, organs, blood vessels and
blood flow. Common uses include obstetric, vascular, and abdominal.
Nuclear Medicine/Stress Testing
This test involves the injection of a radioactive ‘tracer’
that allows for the evaluation of organ function and bone abnormalities.
Radiofrequency Ablation
This noninvasive procedure uses mild, painless radiofrequency waves to
locally heat tumors to kill cancer cells for liver, lung, bone, and kidney
cancer. It is also an adjunct therapy for patients on chemotherapy.
