Bone Density (Dexa Scan) - Dexa scans are the most commonly used test to measure bone density. The result of the Dexa scan  can be a great help to physicians in diagnosing, treating and monitoring the treatment of  osteopenia and osteoporosis as well as predicting the risk of bone fracture.

Computed Tomography (CT) - Computerized Tomography scan is an  imaging procedure produced by an x-ray tube that rotates in a circle around the patient, making many pictures as it rotates. The multiple x-ray pictures are reconstructed by a computer in cross-sectional images, permitting doctors to examine “slices” through different organs.

Diagnostic Radiology  (X-ray)  - Diagnostic X-ray Is the general term used for a group of  examinations  that are produced by the transmission of X-rays through a patient to a capture device then converted into an image for diagnosis. Diagnostic radiology exams are commonly requested by physicians to evaluate the lungs, heart and skeleton.

Interventional Radiology - an area of specialty within the field of radiology which uses various radiological techniques (such as x-ray, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and ultrasounds) to place wires, tubes, or other instruments inside a patient to diagnose and treat an array of conditions

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- MRI uses magnetic signals to create images of the human body. Like all imaging techniques, an MRI creates images based on differences between types of tissues. MRI scan are often used to study nerves, muscles, ligaments, bones, and other tissues in the body; the details of which are quite incredible.

Mammography - A mammogram is an X-ray examination of the breast. Mammography is performed to detect abnormalities or to provide a baseline reference for later comparison.

Nuclear Medicine - Nuclear  medicine is an imaging  specialty  that  involves the introduction of a radioisotope into the body, through intravenous injection. The isotope is taken up in different amounts by different organs and through scanning the patients body,  information is sent to computers which reconstruct the images for diagnosis. The radioisotope has a short half-life and thus decays completely before its radioactivity can cause any damage to the patient's body.

PET CT - A PET CT scan (positron emission tomography) is a unique type of imaging procedure  that  provides  both information  related to organs and tissues inside the  body as well as how they function. The PET ct SCAN measures emissions from positron-emitting molecules in the body .  Because many useful, common elements have positron emitting forms (carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen), valuable functional information can be obtained.  PET CT scans produce 3-D images, and is often used to compliment rather than replace the information obtained from standard CT or MRI scan.

Ultrasound - Ultrasound, also known as sonography, or ultrasonography, is a diagnostic procedure that transmits high-frequency sound waves, inaudible to the human ear, through body tissues. The echoes are recorded and transformed into diagnostic images of the internal structures of the body that provide detailed information used to diagnose many diseases and conditions. .
