At Fox Valley Imaging, our advanced facility functions cutting-edge imaging machines and qualified, experienced technicians who will assist to make your experience quick and comfortable. They are there to answer any concerns you may come with and also to operate the imaging machines to provide the best services possible for you and your physician. Our services include:.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging method used in radiology to visualize internal structures of the body in detail. MRI utilizes the ability of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body.
MRI scans are one of the safest of entire imaging examinations. The process does not necessarily need the use of ionizing radiation, and the contrast media used through an MRI has very low incidence of side effects. Today’s MRI scans produce your physician or specialist with a viewpoint of your body from almost any plane. Fox Valley Imaging Center is proud to give our patients the latest technology in MRI scanning. Our MRI scanner generates high definition images together with exceptional detail. Moreover the new technology cuts the scanning time in half, establishing the experience a lot more tolerable.
CT (Computed Tomography). X-ray computed tomography, also computed tomography (CT scan) or computed axial tomography(CAT scan), is a medical imaging procedure that utilizes computer-processed X-rays to develop tomographic images or ’slices’ of certain areas of the body. These cross-sectional images are used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in different medical disciplines.
Computed Axial Tomography, popularly called a CAT scan or CT Scan, provides today’s physicians with a relatively inexpensive imaging tool for the diagnosis of many different diseases, defects as well as injuries. Making use of digital capture, a CT scan collects multiple X-ray images and develops an image of the body from cross-sectional slices (or tomograms). Considering the X-ray beams are recorded from many different angles, there is much more information obtained and the absorption rate of the beams can give important data pertaining to the thickness of tissue and the condition of bones. Using a same dosage of radiation as a common X-ray machine, a CAT scan brings visible images with near to a 100 times more clarity that can detect very subtle distinctions in your body tissue.
Ultrasound. Diagnostic sonography (ultrasonography) is an ultrasound-based diagnostic imaging method utilized for imagining subcutaneous body structures consisting of tendons, muscles, joints, vessels and internal organs for possible pathology or lesions.
Digital 3-D and 4-D ultrasound develops images of soft tissue and internal organs by reflecting sound waves off the internal anatomic structures. In turn, our radiologists have more information of a better quality to use for a successful diagnosis. Fox Valley Imaging uses the most up-to-date technologies for digital ultrasound imaging to provide the diagnostic process for physicians in numerous specialties including Obstetrics, Internal Medicines, Oncology, Gynecology, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Urology and Cardiology.
Digital X-Rays. Digital radiography is a kind of X-ray imaging, where digital X-ray sensors are utilized rather than regular photographic film. Benefits such as time efficiency by means of bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transmit and enhance images.
Digital X-Ray is the modern standard in Diagnostic Imaging. By using digital technology the scan time is reduced dramatically and the repeat exposure is minimized. Digital images could be saved on a CD and sent with the patient. Compared to the common x-ray we are able to manipulate the images and perform measurements electronically. That signifies more information for your treating physician.
Bone Density Scanning. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is a method of measuring bone mineral density (BMD). Two X-ray beams with different energy levels are intendeded for the patient’s bones. When soft tissue absorption is subtracted out, the BMD can be identified from the absorption of each beam by bone. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the most widely used and most carefully studied bone density measurement technology.
Echocardiography. Echocardiogram, often referred to cardiac echo or just an echo is a sonogram of the heart. (It is not abbreviated as ECG, which in medicine usually knowns as an electrocardiogram.) Echocardiography operates standard two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and Doppler ultrasound to create images of the heart.
Echocardiography has become regularly utilized in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with any suspected or known heart diseases. It is one of the most widely utilized diagnostic tests in cardiology. It can give a wealth of helpful info, including the size and shape of the heart (internal chamber size quantification), pumping capacity, and the specific location and extent of any tissue damage. An Echocardiogram can also provide physicians other estimates of heart function such as a calculation of the cardiac output, ejection fraction, and diastolic function (how well the heart relaxes).
Video Fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy is an imaging method that utilizes X-rays to acquire real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient through the use of a fluoroscope. In its simplest form, a fluoroscope consists of an X-ray source and fluorescent screen among which a patient is placed. However, latest fluoroscopes couple the screen to an X-ray image intensifier and CCD video camera letting the images for being captured and played on a monitor.
