Imaging
Our medical imaging department offers a full range of high quality diagnostic and therapeutic imaging modalities. Our technologists are registered through TDH, ARRT and ARDMS. All reports are faxed to ordering physicians the same day they are transcribed. Courier service is also available. Medical Imaging Services
CT Scan At South Hampton, we use the latest in CT technology with a

Digital X-ray and Flouroscopy
Our radiography and fluoroscopy equipment is fully digital allowing for excellent image quality, high reliability and quick reporting time. While standard X-rays provide static images, fluoroscopy allows physicians to see real-time, moving X-ray images on a screen monitor to assist with a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. For pain management in surgery, we use 9-inch eye C-arm systems which offer quick scan time and reduced radiation exposure for patients.

Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of
radioactive materials to diagnose and treat disease. These
“radiopharmaceuticals” are detected by a special camera that
works with computers to provide very precise pictures about the
area of the body being imaged or treated. The procedure offers
information that would otherwise be unavailable or require
surgery and often identifies abnormalities very early in the
disease process, long before they might be apparent with other
tests. The amount of radiation used in the procedure is kept
within safe limits, comparable with that received during an
X-ray.
The equipment we use for nuclear studies is an
Siemens Signature E.CAM dual camera, which offers early detection and staging of cancer and
heart disease. The ECAM features dual digital detectors that
deliver superior image quality.
