MRI Scan
A MRI, also known as a Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a test that uses magnets, radio waves and computer technology to create precise pictures of your body, organs, and bones. Many patients confuse an MRI with a CT or CAT scan (Computed Axial Tomography). An MRI does not use radiation, and we here at Specialty Imaging are proud to offer our clients a more comfortable experience in our state of the art machine that is known for reducing the feeling of claustrophobia, while maintaining the superior image quality of a high field MRI.
CT Scan
A CT scan, also known as Computerized axial tomography, is a quick and easy way to have an X-ray taken. Our high-powered computer takes cross-sectional views of a patient’s body that can identify typical and nontypical structures that may or may not be cause for concern. Specialty Imaging’s 64 slice CT yields the highest quality images in a fraction of the time while using the lowest radiation dose possible.
Digital X-Ray
A Digital X-Ray, also known as radiography, is an easy, non-invasive, and painless procedure. Digital X-Rays are the oldest and most commonly used form of medical imaging. While a small portion of your body is exposed to low-dose radiation in order to provide our radiologist with the diagnostic information, you need not fear any long-term after-effects.Ultrasound
Diagnostic medical sonography or diagnostic ultrasound is a branch of medical imaging which uses a transducer, a high-frequency sound wave, to produce anatomy images of the body. These medical images are extremely valuable in diagnosing and treating various illnesses, diseases and conditions. Ultrasounds are quick, easy and painless, and do not include radiation.
Lung Screenings
A study conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) proved that screening people at high risk for lung cancer with low-dose CT scans reduced mortality from lung cancer by 20 percent. This study estimates that early detection and treatment for lung cancer could save more than 70,000 lives a year. Specialty Imaging Associate’s lung cancer screening offers those at high risk for lung cancer the opportunity to screen and diagnose lung cancer before symptoms develop through use of a low-dose computed tomography (CT) scan.CT Calcium Scoring
Computed tomography (CT) cardiac calcium scoring is a quick, painless, and non-invasive test used to detect plaque in your coronary arteries, offering one of the most advanced methods to identify heart disease in its earliest stages. This test specifically identifies calcified plaque, providing you and your doctor with crucial information to tailor a healthy heart plan to help slow or potentially reverse the progression of coronary artery disease. There are no special preparations needed for the CT cardiac calcium scoring test, making it a convenient procedure. The scan itself emits only a small amount of radiation. Additionally, it requires no fasting, injections, or medication adjustments, ensuring a straightforward and stress-free experience. This exam is not covered by insurance, but we offer the lowest price in the greater Danbury area at only $100. Please contact us for more information or to schedule an appointment.
