CT
CT scanning uses x-rays to acquire anatomic information about the body that is presented in "cross-sectional" format, allowing physicians the capability to see more details than conventional x-rays.
ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound reflects sound waves off organs and tissues, allowing an electronic picture of what is inside the body to be drawn on a screen. Ultrasound, like CT and MRI, is also a "cross-sectional" imaging technique.
X RAY / FLUROSCOPY
X-ray, or radiography, refers to procedures that use standard x-rays to view parts of the body. Montclair Radiology offers common x-ray and fluoroscopy. In both procedures, a very low dose of radiation is used, which make x-rays extremely safe diagnostic tools.
MRI
MRI is a radiological technique that relies on magnetic spins of protons in the human body to generate images. It is fundamentally different from CT scanning, but also creates cross sectional images that allow physicians to see "into" the body.
DEXA SCANNING
DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) scanning is the most widely used technique for measuring bone mineral density (BMD) and diagnosing the presence of osteoporosis.
WOMEN'S IMAGING
Women's imaging services include low dose digital and analog mammography, DEXA scanning, high resolution digital ultrasound, and ultra short bore high-field strength breast and pelvic MRI.
