Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI is used to diagnose a wide variety of soft tissue, and sports related injuries. Learn more about MRIs.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI is the most advanced technology available to view inside the human body in 3-D (3 dimensional). MRI is a large magnet that utilizes radio waves and a computer to scan your body and make visible the tiniest details of your body.


Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)

MRA ImageMagnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) provides a detailed analysis of your vascular system and major blood vessels, and is similar to MRI. Elite Imaging is the regional expert at imaging vascular structures of the brain, neck, abdomen and lower legs. In some cases you may require an injection of a "contrast material" to help certain parts of the body show up better. If this is necessary, you will receive a small painless injection. Learn more about MRAs.


Computed Tomography (CT)

CT ImageComputed Tomography (CT) is often referred to as a "cat" scan, and is an advanced radiology procedure which uses x-rays and a sophisticated computer to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the body's internal organs. CT images are much more sensitive than ordinary x-rays and it has the unique ability to show a combination of soft tissue, bone and blood vessels. Learn more about CT.




Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT)

PET ImagePositron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computerized Tomography (CT) are both standard imaging tools that allow physicians to pinpoint the location of cancer within the body before making treatment recommendations.

The highly sensitive PET scan detects the metabolic signal of actively growing cancer cells in the body and the CT scan provides a detailed picture of the internal anatomy that reveals the location, size and shape of abnormal cancerous growths. Learn more about PET.


Breast MRI

Breast MRI ImageBreast MRI 3T introduces the newest diagnostic tool in the fight against breast cancer...Breast MRI. For the 8.5 million women in the United States who are classified as High Risk for breast cancer...Breast MRI is fast becoming the standard of care, offering new hope for early detection and faster treatment. Learn more about Breast MRI.





Cardiac PET/CT

Cardiac Pet ImageA cardiac PET/CT combines two medical imaging techniques to show both the chemical function and structure of the heart and its surrounding vessels. Learn more about Cardiac PET/CT.


Bone Scans

Bone Scan ImageBone Scans FDG-PET imaging can pick up bone metastases and bone marrow lesions missed by traditional bone scans. Learn more about Bone Scans.





Healthcare Screening

Our Healthcare Screen services include the following. You can learn more about our Healthcare Screening.

Heart/Calcium Score

Calcium Scoring is a brief, painless screening test using a high speed CT scanner that can help to evaluate your risk of heart attack. Special software lets us analyze the CT results and determine the amount of calcium in the coronary arteries. By evaluating and measuring the calcium build up in your coronary arteries, you can have an early warning of the arthrosclerosis (plaque build up) in your coronary artery. The procedure requires no injections, treadmills or other preparation. The results will be sent to you and your primary care physician for further consultation. Learn more about the Heart/Calcium Score.

Heart CTA

Coronary Angiography allows the arteries of the heart to be viewed in three dimensions in a variety of projections. Angiography reveals the status of the left and right coronary arteries and their branches, which supply blood and nutrients to the cells of the heart. Learn more about Heart CTA.

Lung CT screening

More effective than a standard X-ray, a Lung CT scan can save your life. This scan is the most advanced screening tool available for the early detection of lung cancer and diseases like emphysema. This screening can detect lung cancer at its earliest stages, when treatment has a much higher rate of success. Screening Lung CT is one of the best screening tests available to find lung cancer. Screening lung CT visualizes other structures of the chest as well, and can help diagnose cysts, enlarged lymph nodes, hiatal hernias, and aortic aneurysms, among other things. Learn more about Lung CT screening.

Whole Body CT or CAT scan

Whole Body CT screening is an effective early detection method for the screening of many major diseases, including heart disease and cancer. It is a painless, non-invasive procedure that takes about 10 to 15 minutes to perform. The Whole Body Scan looks at all of the internal organs from the neck (thyroid) to the hips (pelvis). It can help to detect cancer, aneurysms, arthritis, gallstones, and kidney stones among many other common ailments. A Whole Body scan also includes a Heart and Lung scan and can be tailor fit to your concerns and family history. (See Executive Scans). Learn more about Whole Body CT or CAT scan.

Executive Scans/ Executive Physicals

Executive Physicals combine a comprehensive history and physical examination with advanced screening tests. Custom-tailored diagnostic evaluations, recommended by experienced physicians, focus on promoting wellness and prevention and thorough medical checkups and physical exams help detect health problems before they become more severe.

The patient's age and gender, as well as their medical/surgical history, family history and their personal nutrition, exercise and lifestyle issues are incorporated in the medical interview. Immunization and vaccination status are reviewed. Each patient undergoes a thorough, physical examination (and gynecological exam for women) by an experienced, licensed Medical Doctor. Learn more about Executive Scans.
