Advanced technology can have a direct effect on a medical diagnosis. Imaging technology is critical in capturing very detailed, anatomical information. At Clermont Radiology, we use advanced imaging equipment managed by highly experienced technologists and radiologists and maintained by expert engineers and physicists. The result is the highest quality images, which allow our radiologists to make accurate diagnoses so that you receive the most effective treatment.
One critical aspect of value in medical imaging is quality, which is ingrained in what we do for each patient, every day. A radiological exam is designed to image or see inside a specific area of your body for the purpose of medical diagnosis. Clermont Radiology offers several different types of diagnostic exams and therapeutic procedures in our comfortable outpatient center. |

Computed Tomography uses special x-ray equipment to obtain information from different angles around the body. Computers are then used to process the information and create cross-sectional images that appear as "slices" of the body and organs.

DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) examinations estimate the amount of bone mineral content in specific areas of your body. Two X-Ray energies allows the Radiologist to tell the difference between bone and soft tissue, giving a very accurate estimation of bone density.

Mammography is the practice of radiographic imaging of the soft tissue of the breast. Multiple images are obtained by gentle positioning of the breast by the technologist to produce high contrast images.

|
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, MR or MRI is an advanced imaging method that produces images of the body without surgery or x-rays. Magnetic Resonance Imaging utilizes the forces of magnetism and radio waves to create images or pictures of the human body.

Stand-Up MRI allows all parts of the body to be imaged with the normal weight of your body on the spine and other joints—an advantage that leads to a more accurate diagnosis. Imaging your spine when it is fully loaded with the weight of your body, as compared to unloaded in a conventional lie–down MRI, is critical to an accurate diagnosis.

Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging method that uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of structures within the body, using a transducer. Commonly used to evaluate the abdominal and pelvic organs, breasts, thyroid glands, heart, testes, and blood flow in arteries and veins.

|
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light. X-ray machines send individual x-ray particles, called photons. These particles pass through the body. At Clermont Radiology a computer is used to record the digital images that are created.

|
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) /CT Scanning is a combined imaging technology that gives physicians a more precise tool to detect and diagnose cancer, heart disease or neurological diseases. It is a powerful cancer detection tool that combines the strengths of two well-established imaging modalities into one machine.
