MD Imaging provides patients with the most
comprehensive
medical diagnostic imaging services in Dutchess County.
MD Imaging has been designated by Philips Medical Systems, the makers
of advanced imaging equipment, as their East Coast regional showcase.
Our facility is the first in Dutchess County to have
a fixed PET scanner and the first to offer all of the
available imaging modalities, including digital mammography, in one central
location. MD Imaging is committed to providing the community with the
highest level of imaging technology available. Our imaging services include:
MRI (Magnetic Resonance
Imaging) - generates high-resolution images of the body
from a variety of angles by using a magnetic field and radio waves. MRI
can generate information about the brain, spine, joints and internal organs
that may not be easily obtainable from other tests.
PET
(Positron Emission Tomography) - uses an injected tracer
that emits signals which are converted into images of how the cells of
the body function. It is most often used to detect tumors, brain disorders
and heart disease. It is the most sensitive modality for the detection
and evaluation of malignant tumors.
CT Scan (Computed Tomography)
- combines a digital computer with x-rays to create detailed cross-sectional
images of different parts of the body, such as the lungs, liver, kidneys,
pancreas, pelvis, extremities, brain, spine, and blood vessels.
Nuclear Medicine
- uses a radioactive tracer to visualize the function of
the bones and internal organs, such as the heart, lungs, thyroid, gallbladder
and liver.
Computed Radiography
(digital x-ray, including fluoroscopy)
- a technique that captures an image on a filmless cassette and
then electronically stores it for analysis.
Digital Mammography - a highly
sensitive diagnostic tool that assists in the very early detection of
breast cancer. The digital image is then coupled to a computer-aided detection
device (i.e., R2 Image Checker), which increases the diagnostic accuracy
of your mammogram .
Ultrasound
- utilizes sound waves that produce images of the internal structures
of the body. It is used to examine breast tissue, view abdominal and pelvic
structures, evaluate blood flow and cardiac function, determine a due
date for pregnancy and look at fetal growth.
Bone Densitometry - measures
bone density by quantifying bone calcium content. Used for early detection
of osteoporosis.
Echocardiography
- utilizes an ultrasound of the heart to show anatomic detail
and measure function.
