Diagnostic imaging equipment at Radiology Associates of Tallahassee

Barium Enema

A Barium Enema is a fluoroscopic exam that uses contrast material to evaluate the large intestine (colon and rectum). It can help identify polyps, diverticular disease, narrowing, and other abnormalities of the lower digestive tract. During the exam, real-time X-ray images provide detailed views of the colon.

Bone Densitometry (DEXA)

A DEXA scan measures bone mineral density to assess the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. The exam is quick, painless, and uses a very low dose of radiation. Early detection of bone loss allows your physician to recommend treatments and lifestyle changes to help protect your bone health.

Cardiac MRI

Cardiac MRI provides detailed images of the heart’s structure and function without using ionizing radiation. It helps physicians evaluate heart muscle disease, congenital heart conditions, scarring, blood flow, and cardiac function. The exam offers valuable information that supports diagnosis and treatment planning.

Computed Tomography (CT)

A CT scan uses X-rays and advanced computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body’s organs, bones, and blood vessels. It helps physicians diagnose a wide range of conditions, including injuries, infections, tumors, and internal diseases. CT exams are fast, accurate, and often provide information that cannot be seen with standard X-rays.

CT Angiography (CTA)

CT angiography (CTA) is a specialized CT scan that uses contrast material to produce detailed images of blood vessels throughout the body. It helps physicians evaluate aneurysms, narrowed arteries, blood clots, and other vascular conditions. CTA is a non-invasive alternative to many traditional angiography procedures.

CT Calcium Scoring

A CT Calcium Score is a quick, non-invasive exam that measures calcium buildup in the coronary arteries. The results help estimate your risk of developing heart disease before symptoms occur. This screening can help you and your physician make informed decisions about preventive heart care.

CT Enterography

CT Enterography is a specialized CT scan that provides detailed images of the small intestine after you drink a special contrast solution. It is commonly used to evaluate Crohn’s disease, inflammation, bleeding, and other disorders affecting the small bowel. The exam offers detailed images that help guide diagnosis and treatment.

CT Low Dose Lung Screening

A Low Dose CT Lung Screening uses a small amount of radiation to detect lung cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages. It is recommended for certain individuals who are at high risk based on age and smoking history. Early detection can significantly improve treatment options and outcomes.

CT Pulmonary Embolism (CT PE)

A CT PE is a specialized CT scan that evaluates the arteries in the lungs for blood clots, known as pulmonary embolisms. Contrast material is used to clearly visualize the pulmonary blood vessels. This exam helps physicians quickly diagnose potentially life-threatening conditions and begin appropriate treatment.

DaTscan

DaTscan is a specialized nuclear medicine exam that helps evaluate dopamine activity in the brain. It assists physicians in distinguishing Parkinsonian syndromes from other causes of tremors. The results are interpreted along with your medical history and neurological examination.

Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is a specialized imaging exam that uses continuous X-rays to create real-time images of the body’s internal structures. It is commonly used to evaluate the digestive system, joints, and certain medical procedures. This dynamic imaging allows physicians to observe movement and function as it happens.

Liver Elastography Ultrasound

Liver Elastography is a specialized ultrasound exam that measures the stiffness of liver tissue. It helps physicians evaluate liver fibrosis caused by chronic liver disease without the need for an invasive biopsy in many cases. The exam is quick, painless, and performed during a routine ultrasound appointment.

Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)

An MRA is a specialized MRI exam that produces detailed images of blood vessels. It helps evaluate aneurysms, narrowed arteries, and other vascular conditions throughout the body. Depending on the exam, contrast material may or may not be needed.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI uses a powerful magnet and radio waves to create highly detailed images of organs, muscles, joints, nerves, and other soft tissues without using ionizing radiation. It helps diagnose a wide range of conditions, from sports injuries to neurological disorders. MRI provides exceptional image quality that often helps physicians make accurate diagnoses.

MR Enterography

MR Enterography is a specialized MRI exam used to evaluate the small intestine after drinking a special contrast solution. It is commonly performed to assess Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory bowel disorders. Because it does not use ionizing radiation, it is often preferred for patients who require repeated imaging.

Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radioactive material to evaluate how organs and tissues function. Unlike many imaging exams that primarily show anatomy, nuclear medicine provides information about how the body is working. These studies help diagnose and monitor a variety of conditions affecting the bones, heart, thyroid, kidneys, and other organs.

PET Brain with Amyvid

A PET Brain with Amyvid exam helps detect amyloid plaques that may be associated with Alzheimer’s disease and certain other causes of cognitive decline. The exam provides additional information that physicians use along with clinical evaluation and other diagnostic testing. It is intended to support, not replace, a comprehensive neurological assessment.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT)

PET/CT combines metabolic imaging from PET with the detailed anatomical images of CT in a single exam. It is commonly used to detect cancer, monitor treatment response, evaluate recurrence, and assess certain neurological and cardiac conditions. This combination provides physicians with comprehensive information to guide diagnosis and treatment.

Prostate MRI

Multiparametric MRI of the prostate provides detailed images of the prostate gland and surrounding tissues. It helps detect, evaluate, and monitor prostate cancer, as well as guide biopsy planning when appropriate. This advanced imaging exam provides important information for personalized treatment decisions.

Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) PET

PSMA PET/CT is an advanced imaging exam used to detect and evaluate prostate cancer. It helps identify the location and extent of disease, including areas that may not be visible on other imaging studies. The information gained from this exam helps physicians develop the most appropriate treatment plan.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of organs, tissues, and blood flow without using ionizing radiation. It is commonly used to evaluate the abdomen, pelvis, thyroid, blood vessels, and many other areas of the body. Ultrasound is safe, painless, and provides valuable diagnostic information.

Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Series
and Barium Swallow

An Upper GI Series and Barium Swallow uses X-rays and a contrast material called barium to evaluate the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine. The exam helps diagnose swallowing difficulties, reflux, ulcers, hiatal hernias, and other digestive conditions. Real-time imaging allows physicians to observe how these structures function during swallowing.

Vascular Ultrasound

Vascular ultrasound uses sound waves to evaluate blood flow through the arteries and veins. It helps detect blood clots, narrowed arteries, aneurysms, and other vascular conditions. This non-invasive exam provides important information to help diagnose and manage circulatory disorders.

X-Ray

X-ray is one of the most common imaging exams used to evaluate bones, joints, and certain organs within the body. It helps diagnose fractures, arthritis, infections, and a variety of other conditions. X-rays are quick, painless, and often serve as the first step in diagnosing an injury or illness.
