Diagnostic orthopedic services
Diagnostic imaging services are an integral part of managing your orthopedic condition. We use X-rays, computerized tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to diagnose a variety of conditions.
Additionally, our surgical team may use fluoroscopy, a live X-ray, to guide orthopedic procedures.
Bone density screenings
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), or bone density screenings, measure bone loss. This scan uses enhanced X-rays and small amounts of radiation to measure bone density and mineral content. A DEXA scan can be a helpful screening tool to evaluate your risk for osteoporosis or bone fractures.
