Radiology

We provide clinical services in diagnostic and interventional radiology.

Cogdell Radiology is a certified Pink Ribbon Facility and Softer Mammogram Provider. This is a distinction awarded only to an elite group of healthcare facilities.

64 Slice CT Scan

The GE LightSpeed VCT 64 Slice series can accommodate larger patients, has a faster rotation time for shorter breath holds, and a reduced need for sedation. The scanner allows our radiologists to diagnose stroke patients within minutes of arrival into the hospital. Other added capabilities include:

  • 3D reconstruction
  • Calcium Scoring Tests
  • Angiograms
Bone Density

Our GE Lunar Prodigy Advance scanner has been shown to have up to 40% better clinical precision when compared to competing systems and enables clinicians to monitor therapy in the shortest interval possible. This scanner is capable of scanning patients up to 350 pounds and has an open architecture for patient convenience and comfort.

Digital Mammography

The Selenia™ Dimensions 2D mammography incorporates revolutionary imaging technology that provides incredibly sharp breast images which appear on the technologist’s monitor in a matter of seconds. There is no waiting for the film to develop, which means less time in the breast imaging suite for patients.

We combine this full-field digital mammography with a new breast cushion, MammoPad® that dramatically eases the discomfort many women feel when they get a mammogram. MammoPad and Selenia digital mammography together provide a more positive experience for women.

General Radiography

With the latest technology, we utilize digital imaging that eliminates the need for film and assists to expedite the processing of your exam and treatment. Our staff and physicians can provide outstanding medical care with our Optima XR220amx digital mobile x-ray system. This system is used mainly in the ER and for non-mobile patients.

General & Vascular Ultrasound

Ultrasound images are captured in real-time, using high-frequency sound waves. They can show the structure and movement of the body’s internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels. Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.

We offer a wide range of ultrasound imaging such as:

  • Abdominal Organs (including liver, gallbladder, kidney)
  • Pelvis
  • Obstetrics (pregnancy)
  • Superficial Structures (including breast, testis, thyroid)
  • Abdominal Blood Vessels
  • Vascular Imaging
  • Echocardiograms
MRI

Our GE Signa HDe is the same model used to scan over 600 athletes in a two-week span in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and is among the most energy-efficient of the 1.5T MR systems. This digital MRI allows the performance of a wide and complex range of procedures such as:

  • Abdominal and Pelvic Exams
  • Angiographies
  • MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography) of the Head, Abdomen and Lower Extremities
  • Brain, Orbits, Pituitary, IAC, Spine, Extremities and Joints
Nuclear Medicine

The GE Millennium camera has a fast scan time with a table that has a 400 lb. weight limit. Studies can be conducted in ½ to ¾ the normal scan time with our newly installed software.

We offer a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as:

  • Cardiac Stress Tests
  • Thyroid Uptake/Scan
  • Gallbladder Scan
  • Renal Function Study
  • Liver/Spleen Imaging
  • Bone Imaging
  • Gastrointestinal Bleeding
  • Lung Vent/Perf
  • Gastric Emptying Study
  • Parathyroid Study
