What We Offer

From routine x-rays to complex imaging studies, our team provides a broad range of imaging services in Western Pennsylvania. Common services we perform include the following and more:

  • Computed Tomography (CT): A sophisticated imaging technique that provides detailed images of the body's internal structures.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): A non-invasive procedure that uses powerful magnetic fields to create detailed images of organs and tissues within the body.
  • Ultrasound: Utilizes high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the body's internal structures. It's particularly useful for examining soft tissues and fluid-filled structures within the body.
  • Nuclear Medicine: A specialty that utilizes small amounts of radioactive materials to diagnose and treat various diseases.
  • Interventional Radiology: A minimally invasive, targeted treatment option guided by imaging. It's often used as an alternative to surgery.
  • Breast Imaging: Includes mammography, breast ultrasound, and breast MRI, which are essential tools in breast cancer detection and diagnosis.
  • Bone Densitometry: An imaging test that measures bone loss, primarily used in the diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Why should I have my imaging exam done at an accredited facility?

  • When you see the gold seals of accreditation prominently displayed in our imaging facility, you can be sure that you are in a facility that meets standards for imaging quality and safety. Look for the ACR Gold Seals of Accreditation.
  • To achieve the ACR Gold Standard of Accreditation, our facility's personnel qualifications, equipment requirements, quality assurance, and quality control procedures have gone through a rigorous review process and have met specific qualifications. It's important for patients to know that every aspect of the ACR accreditation process is overseen by board-certified, expert radiologists and medical physicists in advanced diagnostic imaging.

  • Our facility has voluntarily gone through a vigorous review process to ensure that we meet nationally accepted standards of care.
  • Our personnel are well qualified, through education and certification, to perform medical imaging, interpret your images, and administer your radiation therapy treatments.
  • Our equipment is appropriate for the test or treatment you will receive, and our facility meets or exceeds quality assurance and safety guidelines.

What does the gold seal mean?
