Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging
When it comes to radiology and diagnostic imaging, Orlando Health Melbourne Hospital has you covered. Using the latest technology and procedures, our professional teams of radiologists and technicians make sure each medical imaging test or procedure is performed efficiently, accurately and with your comfort in mind.
Diagnostic imaging services at Orlando Health Melbourne Hospital serve as a vital component of both inpatient and outpatient care. From the latest CT, MRI and X-ray procedures to ultrasound, mammography and interventional radiology, the hospital has the advanced technology and expertise to perform whatever radiology and imaging services you may need. We also offer leading-edge CT technology that can capture images of a beating heart in five heartbeats, an organ in one second, and perform a whole-body scan in 10 seconds, resulting in less radiation exposure for patients. Innovative procedures range from evaluation of the heart, spine, lungs and colon to advanced techniques such as angiography and radiation therapy planning.
Interventional radiology is a branch of radiology that uses imaging techniques such as X-ray, CT, MRI and ultrasound to treat a wide range of conditions through minimally invasive procedures. Using these imaging tools, interventional radiologists lead small wires or catheters (thin, flexible tube) with specialized instruments to treat many areas of the body. Requiring just a tiny incision where the catheter is inserted, these procedures result in less blood loss, less pain and a quicker recovery for you.
With our advanced technology and highly trained teams, we are able to perform and interpret a wide range of imaging tests and procedures, including:
- Biopsy
- Bone density (DEXA) scan
- Breast imaging (digital mammography, MRI, ultrasound and stereotactic biopsies)
- CT scan
