Using sound waves to generate images is the basis of ultrasound technology. This diagnostic tool is available on site and can be instrumental in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
In addition to the traditional ultrasound for obstetrical patients, a 3-D image is available. Though this 3-D service is not normally covered by insurance, it is available at a competitive price for parents to see an enhanced view of their child.
MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging services are also available. This technology uses magnetic waves to generate images for diagnostic purposes. This type of image provides more detail than other radiographic images and is an important diagnostic tool for physicians.
