Imaging Services

Bone Density (DEXA)
A bone density scan, also called a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan, is a non-invasive test measuring the calcium content or density of bones to see if you’re at risk for osteoporosis or fracture. 

TidalHealth offers bone density scans for all ages including pediatric patients. 

CT Scan
A computed tomography (CT) scan uses X-rays to make detailed pictures of structures inside of the body.

TidalHealth offers state of the art scanning capabilities which offer quicker scan times with low radiation dose protocols. Our technology is patient-friendly making scanning available for obese patients. 

Spiral CT Scan
Creates more detailed pictures and may be better at finding small abnormal areas inside the body. It may be used to help diagnose disease, plan treatment, or find out how well a treatment is working.

CT Coronary Calcium Scan
A type of CT scan is calcium scoring of the heart which is low dose, painless and fast to show calcium in the coronary arteries. Calcification in the coronary arteries is an early indicator of coronary artery disease. Your calcium score indicates the level of calcium deposits in your arteries. After taking into account your age, gender and cardiac risk factors, your calcium score is a strong measure of your risk for coronary artery disease.

Calcium scoring is recommended for women between the ages of 40 and 70 and men between the ages of 35 and 65 with the following risk factors:

• Family history of heart disease          
• Smoking
• High cholesterol                        
• Obesity
• High blood pressure                            
• Diabetes

Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology is a specialty where doctors perform minimally-invasive procedures using radiology guidance. 

Mammography
A mammogram uses x-rays of the breast to look for signs of breast cancer. Regular mammograms are recommended for women 40 years of age and older. Those with a family history of breast cancer may start earlier such as 10 years before the age of diagnosis in a first-degree relative, like a mother or sister. 

TidalHealth offers 3D mammography, also known as digital tomosynthesis, one of the most advanced imaging technologies available for the early detection of breast cancer. This technology uses lower radiation doses, less forceful compression and quicker exam times. 

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
A test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. MRI is used to diagnose many things from torn ligaments to cancer or a stroke. 

Nuclear Medicine
A branch of radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers to look at organ function and structures. Radiotracers may be injected into the bloodstream, inhaled, or swallowed. The radiotracer moves through the area of the body being examined and a special camera detects energy given off by the radiotracer to create an image of the inside of the body. Nuclear medicine can often help diagnose disease in very early stages. 

Positive Emission Tomography (PET) Scan
PET scan imaging is a type of nuclear medicine that shows the metabolism of cells using a small amount of radioactive dye. This dye can help your doctor see how a patient's organs and tissues are working. PET scan can help in diagnosing many conditions including cancers, heart disease and brain disorders. Many times, they are used in combination with CT or MRI scans to help doctors better diagnose illness. 

Ultrasound
Also called sonography, ultrasound is a non-invasive test using sound waves to develop images of what’s going on inside the body. An instrument puts off high-frequency sound, inaudible to human ears, and then records the echoes as the sound waves bounce back to determine the size, shape and consistency of soft tissues and organs. Ultrasounds are commonly used with pregnant women to see how their babies are developing. 

Tidal Health offers numerous ultrasound related exams for pregnancies, abdominal, thyroid, breast, and testicular health as well as other needed exams. 

X-Ray
A quick test to create pictures of structures inside the body – in particular bones. Bones usually appear white because they block most of the X-ray particles while air appears white and muscle and fat appear gray.

Preparing for Your Appointment

Preparation depends on the type of exam you are having. You may need to remove all clothing and jewelry in the area to be examined.

Preparing for an Ultrasound

In most cases, the patient will be face up on an exam table. A water-based gel is applied to the area being evaluated to help the transducer make a secure connection with the body. The ultrasound technologist then presses the transducer firmly against the skin, sweeping across the area of interest.

Most ultrasound examinations are painless, fast and easy. After an exam, you should be able to continue normal activities immediately.

A radiologist will analyze the images and send a signed report to your ordering physician, who will share the results with you. In some cases, the radiologist may discuss results with you at the end of the exam.
