Outpatient Imaging Services

Dignity Health's imaging centers provide state-of-the-art medical imaging services at two convenient locations: one in Prescott and one in Prescott Valley.

Our radiologists – experienced physicians who live and work in the community – are:

• Certified by leading radiology accrediting organizations.
• Specialists in advanced radiology modalities.
• Graduates of excellent radiology programs.

Dignity Health's imaging centers have earned prestigious accreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR). This means we undergo rigorous evaluation by board-certified radiologists and medical physicists. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive menu of computer-enhanced, digital imaging services.

Breast MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

Breast (MRI) is a noninvasive test that uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone and internal body structures. MRI does not use radiation/x-rays. Breast MRI provides valuable information about many breast conditions that other imaging modalities can't provide.

 

Breast Ultrasound (high definition)

High-definition breast ultround is a non-invasive diagostic tool designed specifically for breast tissue. Using sound waves and high-definition technology, breast ultrasound gathers extremely clear images of the breast. High-definition breast ultrasound is used as a follow up to learn more about suspicious findings detected during a mammogram. It's also used to screen people who are at high risk for breast cancer.

 

Calcium Scoring

Calcium scoring is a non-invasive way to detect the presence, location and extent of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. Calcified plaque stems from a build-up of fat and other substances in the arteries. This can signal atherosclerosis, also called coronary artery disease.

 

CT Scan

Using x-rays and a computer, CT scans produce images of a cross-section of the body to: evaluate the body's internal organs, detect broken bones and look at major blood vessels in the brain and body.

 

Digital Mammography

Digital mammography uses x-rays to produce an electronic image of the breast that is stored as a computer file. The x-ray image makes it possible to detect tumors that cannot be felt during a breast exam. This digital information can be enhanced, magnified or manipulated for further evaluation.

 

DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry)

DEXA is a quick, painless and non-invasive exam. Using a small amount of radiation, DEXA measures bone loss in the lower or lumbar spine and the hips. No radiation remains in the body following a DEXA exam. DEXA is used to diagnose osteoporosis and determine an individual's risk for fractures due to osteoporosis.

 

Fluoroscopy

Radiologists create real time, high-resolution images for more accurate diagnoses during fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy is used to examine the upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) tracts as well as the urinary tract.

 

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

MRI uses a large magnet, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed, cross sectional images of the human body with x-rays. MRI is known for producing high-quality images of the body's soft-tissues.

 

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images of the body. These images help physicians evaluate symptoms such as pain, swelling and infection as well as to examine many of the body's internal organs.

 

X-rays and General Radiology

An x-ray is a diagnostic test that uses a small amount of radiation to create digital images of structures within the body.
