In order to provide the most personal and comprehensive medical care possible, Midwest Imaging utilizes a variety of diagnostic tools within the facility such as X-ray, bone density scans, EMGs and MRIs. Our convenient in-house radiology department allows our doctors to read your x-ray at the time of your appointment.
High-Field Srength MRI
Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) is a method of looking inside the body. Instead of x-rays, the MRI scanner uses magnetism and radiowaves to produce remarkably clear pictures of your head, spine, or other parts of your body. An MRI consists of a strong magnet with a radio transmitter and receiver. These instruments gather informationour of your body. MRI produces soft-tissue images and is used to distinguish normal, healthy soft tissue from pathologic tissue.
Open MRI
We have a state-of-the-art non claustrophobic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in our Springfield and Jacksonville offices. Our MRI facilities acquire excellent diagnostic tests while providing the patient with comfort in an anxiety-free atmosphere. The Open MRI is accredited by the American College of Radiology.
Bone Density Testing
Midwest Imaging offers bone density testing to determine your risk of osteoporosis. The bone density test is a painless, noninvasive procedure in which a measurement of your bone mineral density is produced to determine your risk of osteoporosis. Licensed and registered x-ray technologists administer this test.
CT Scanner
Simple, safe and swift, a CT exam is one of the most common medical imaging procedures. CT is an abbreviation for computed tomography - a valuable diagnostic medical exam that combines x-rays and computers. Often called CAT scans, CT scans have been performed successfully for almost 30 years. A CT scan gives the radiologist a non-invasive way to see inside your body. Using a computer, these 2-D images can presented as 3-D pictures for in-depth clinical evaluations.
EMG and NCS
In our electrodiagnostic suite, nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) can be used to assess nerve health. This allows the doctor to assess potential areas of nerve injury, such as the neck, back, or carpal tunnel.
X-Rays
You've probably had an X-ray examination of some part of your body. Health care professionals use them to look for broken bones, problems in your lungs and abdomen, cavities in your teeth and many other problems. The convenient in-house radiology department allows your physician to view your xrays at the time of your appointment.
