OUR SERVICES
Synergy’s state-of-the-art facility also offers the most advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography scanning, ultrasound, digital x-ray imaging and nuclear imaging. We are pushing the limits of early detection by using the latest versions of these technologies to identify diseases in their earliest stages.
X-RAY
An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. X-ray can be taken for any bone in the body, including the skull, arm, foot, ankle, knee, abdomen, chest, leg or spine.
ULTRASOUND
This radiation-free imaging modality, also known as Sonography, uses high frequency sound waves to generate images. A handheld device, called an ultrasound probe or transducer, that emits sound waves is placed over the area of the body being examined. The sound waves bounce off these structures and their echoes are received by the probe or transducer, which then sends the information to a computer. The computer analyzes the information and creates a moving image.
NUCLEAR MEDICINE
As a noninvasive and painless medical test, nuclear medicine imaging can help physicians to diagnose medical conditions. These imaging scans use radioactive materials called radiopharmaceuticals or radiotracer. Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging that uses trace amounts of radioactive material to diagnose or treat a variety of diseases, including many types of cancers, heart disease and certain other abnormalities within the body.
CT (COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY)
Computed tomography (CT) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. CT scans use X-ray technology and advanced computer analysis to create detailed pictures of the body. Radiologists diagnose problems such as cancers, infectious disease, cardiovascular disease, trauma and musculoskeletal disorders.
CCTA
Most heart attacks are caused by “soft plaque,” a fatty buildup inside your arteries, which can develop into life-threatening blockage. To many cardiology exams such as EKGs, calcium scoring and cardiac catheterization, this soft plaque is invisible. Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) can identify this soft plaque earlier than before through a simple scan. CCTA uses scanning technology instead of catheterization, so it’s painless, non-invasive, safer and faster. Synergy’s 64-slice CT scanner performs the Coronary CTA procedure in just five heartbeats, making it the fastest cardiac imager on the market. It is also the most patient-friendly: you only need to hold your breath for five seconds while the machine scans.
MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Mr. imaging uses a strong magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed images of virtually all internal organs, soft tissue or body structure. The images can then be examined on a computer monitor. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays).
CMR (Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is an imaging method that uses a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to look at the structures and blood vessels of the heart. MRI uses a strong magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed images of the body, but is also free of radiation. CMR imaging can produce both still and moving images of the heart, which can be closely-examined on a computer monitor.
