Imaging

The radiology services you’ll find here feature some of the most advanced diagnostic and treatment technology available anywhere in the world.

Designed for patient convenience and physician confidence — with Picture Archiving Communication Systems (PACS) technology, board-certified radiologists can read images immediately, and results are available to physician offices following transcription of report.

Diagnostic Imaging Services at HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital include:

  • Computerized Tomography (CT)— A radiological test where patient lies in doughnut-shaped machine to take pictures of the body. The scanner is used in combination with a digital computer to create "slices" of different organs of the body.
  • DEXA Scan — A dual energy x-ray absorptiometery, (DEXA) provides bone densitometry testing by measuring the spine and hip where osteoporotic fractures are most likely to occur.
  • Diagnostic Radiology (X-ray) — A general x-ray used to detect the condition of the skeletal system. Also used for detecting some disease processes in soft tissue.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) — A technique that allows doctors to see inside the body in great detail using a powerful magnet, radio waves and a computer system.
  • Mammography — A specific type of imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system for examination of the breasts to detect breast cancer. 3-D mammography (breast tomosynthesis) produces a three-dimensional view of the breast tissue, which makes it easier for radiologists to identify breast abnormalities that could be cancerous. To make an appointment for mammography or other radiology services, call 715-717-1461.
  • Nuclear Medicine — Very small amounts of radioactive materials - which will attract to specific organs, bones or tissues - are introduced into the body. The emissions they produce can provide crucial information about a type of cancer or disease.
  • Ultrasound (US) — A method of obtaining images from inside the body through the use of high frequency sound waves.
