Our Diagnostic Imaging Center offers some of the most advanced imaging technology in the region.
CT scans - Computed Tomography
CT imaging can provide detailed cross sectional images for nearly every part of the body. CT has the ability to image a combination of soft tissue, bone, and blood vessels, enabling the diagnosis of a wide array of illness and injury.
Dexascan
Dexascan is currently the best technique available for measuring bone mass. The test is safe, painless, and non-invasive. Dexascan is used to determine the risk of osteoporosis and is also useful in tracking the progression of osteoporosis.
Mammography
A mammogram is an x-ray image of the breast, used to identify tumors and other abnormalities. Mammography plays a major role in the early detection of breast cancers.
At The Everett Clinic, we provide regular screening mammography, screening mammography for implants and breast pain, MRI of the breast (Everett Campus only) and Nuclear Lymphoscintigraphy (Everett Campus only). We have partnered with The Comprehensive Breast Center for patients requiring additional imaging, breast ultrasound, needle localizations and stereotactic biopsy.
MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging
MRI is a highly advanced medical imaging technique that can produce two- or three-dimensional images. MRI provides an excellent way to diagnose diseases of the brain, spine, skeleton, chest, knee, wrist, ankle/foot, abdomen, pelvis and blood vessels. Our MRI features a unique short bore designed to help combat claustrophobia.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine uses very small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and (in some cases) treat disease. Nuclear scans provide accurate images to help healthcare providers study organs and tissues and how they are working. The heart, thyroid, liver, gall bladder, kidneys, lungs, and bones are some of the most routinely imaged areas of the body.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce moving images of the fetus, heart, abdominal organs, and other soft tissues of the body. This system produces images of exceptionally high quality and allows physicians to visualize small differences in tissue characteristics, which is especially useful in the diagnosis of disease conditions. Ultrasound is painless and is considered one of the safest diagnostic tools available.
X-ray
The Everett Clinic offers x-ray services at all its locations, although there are a few x-rays that can only be done at the Everett Campus. Please make arrangements with your doctor's office prior to coming in for an x-ray.
