Services by Procedure or Modality

MRI Imaging

MRI is a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of a large magnet, radio frequencies, and a computer to produce detailed, three-dimensional images of organs and structures within the body. Because MRI doesn’t use radiation, it can be a safer alternative to those patients with kidney problems.

At Siker Medical Imaging, we utilize the Siemens 3T Magnetom Trio MRI scanner with Tim Technology. Its visualization of exceptional details can help your physicians or healthcare professionals accelerate early diagnosis and treatment, helping to improve your prognosis. The Trio is accessible for everyone. For larger patients, it supports up to 440 pounds without table movement restrictions. The power of the 3T assures more detail is obtained in a quicker, more comfortable exam.

When comfort and confident diagnosis can make the difference, choose the MRI that can give you both.

CT Imaging

CT (computed tomography), sometimes called ‘CAT’ scan, uses special x-ray equipment to obtain image data from different angles around the body and then uses computer processing of the information to show a cross-section of body tissues and organs.

The CT scan is rapidly becoming the gold standard for assessing pain and other symptoms inside the body. Because the scanner can give pictures of organs, bone and surrounding tissues in great detail, diagnosing that nagging pain has become much easier.

Most scans take only minutes, are painless and require the patient just lie still on the exam table. We know you are busy! With same day appointments available, our goal is to provide patients with rapid and reliable diagnosis in a timely fashion.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound scanning, also called sonography, involves using high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the body organs, including their blood flow. They capture the structure and movement of those organs without the use of ionizing radiation, so is safe to use for most of the population.

Interventions

At Siker Medical Imaging, we offer a number of interventional procedures to our patients, including epidural steroid injections (ESI), joint aspirations and placement of central venous access lines. Patients benefit from having these procedures done at an outpatient center due to reduced wait times, same day exams and an overall more efficient process. In addition, we perform a much larger set of interventional procedures on an outpatient basis at Legacy Emanuel Hospital.
