Advanced technology and expert diagnostic support
For
your physician to make the best diagnosis and recommend your best
course of treatment, he or she needs to be able to count on having
the latest diagnostic tools available – especially sophisticated
imaging that reveals potential problems.
Use the links below
to learn more about imaging services available at Novant Health Medical Park Hospital, including how to prepare for your procedure and when
to expect the results.
A discogram uses X-rays and special dye injected into your spinal disks
to help determine if back pain could be caused by an abnormal disk in
your spine.
Fluoroscopy
uses real-time X-rays to evaluate bodily functions, including the
upper and lower tracts of your gastrointestinal system.
Intravenous
pyelography (IVP), also called intravenous urography, uses X-rays to
produce pictures of the kidneys, bladder, ureters and urethra.
Ultrasound
is a safe and effective diagnostic tool using reflected sound waves
to examine many different parts of your body.
X-ray
exams use small doses of radiation to produce pictures that help
diagnose tumors or bone injuries.
For
all diagnostic imaging procedures, you must be referred by your physician. Please ask your physician for a referral. Your physician’s office staff can assist you with your appointment.
