CAT扫描

Computed axial tomography (CAT scan) uses radiation to produce high-quality, 诊断, 轴向图像. 这些图像由检测身体异常(如癌症)的放射科医生解读, fractures and neurological diseases. 这些扫描仪由国家注册的CAT扫描技术人员操作，他们进行最低剂量的扫描，同时仍然提供高质量的诊断成像.

Saint Francis offers three high-quality CAT scanners:

  • A dedicated interventional scanner
  • A dedicated ER/Trauma scanner
  • The area’s only dual-energy-source flash CT scanner

闪光CT扫描

Our flash CT scanner offers the following:

  • Low-dose lung screening used to detect abnormalities in the chest and lungs
  • High-quality scans of the entire heart in one beat
  • Identifying abnormalities in the heart, coronary arteries and heart valves
  • Ability to scan the entire chest, 腹部和骨盆只需要8秒，而传统扫描仪需要45秒
  • 75 percent reduction in radiation usage
  • Pediatric patients can be scanned without the need to hold their breath
  • Faster scan times with reduced radiation and significantly lower repeat rates

PET和CT

圣弗朗西斯医学中心的位置发射断层扫描(PET)为癌症提供了先进的诊断, neurological disease and heart function. 与核磁共振, CT or X-rays which show the internal structures of the body, PET扫描检测身体组织的活动，帮助医生诊断各种疾病和状况.

PET / CT at Saint Francis combines position emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) 一个扫描器. 该系统使临床医生能够可视化组织和器官以及观察它们的功能. PET / CT扫描仪还能使医生更好地诊断癌症等疾病, 神经系统疾病和骨骼肿块，并精确定位疾病的确切位置.

Saint Francis First in Region to Offer Immediate CT Results

Interventional 放射学

圣弗朗西斯的介入放射科医生擅长使用成像引导的微创手术. 使用x射线, CT, ultrasound and other imaging modalities, they obtain images which direct instruments throughout the body. These procedures are performed using needles and catheters, 而不是大的手术切口，并提供了开放式手术的替代方案. 这使得切口更小，风险更小，疼痛更少，患者恢复时间更短. 有些手术可以在门诊进行，而且通常比传统手术便宜.

核磁共振成像

Magnetic resonance imaging (核磁共振成像) produces a very-detailed image of all parts of the body. It is noninvasive and uses no radiation. The procedure is painless, has no side effects and is used to diagnose:

  • 脑部疾病
  • 中风
  • 感染
  • 肌腱炎
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • 骨肿瘤
  • 囊肿
  • 椎间盘髓光盘

圣弗朗西斯是该地区第一家提供最新核磁共振成像技术的医疗机构，并增加了西门子MAGNETOM特斯拉3.0 核磁共振成像系统. 这些系统提供了更大的开口，以提高患者的舒适度和短孔设计, 允许病人的头部在60%的扫描中处于机器之外.

With the addition of the Aera Magnet, 由于其卓越的设计和增强的软件，患者可以获得最高质量的核磁共振成像成像.

圣弗朗西斯还拥有最新的扫描技术，可以减少或消除人工制品. This ensures a more accurate diagnosis for patients with prosthesis.

核医学

Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radioactive tracers to image organ systems of the body. These tracers are either injected or ingested into the body. 核成像用于确定器官的功能，并与使用其他成像方式所看到的解剖结构进行比较. Nuclear imaging can be used to assess function of the heart, 大脑, 肾脏, 胃肠道系统和肺部，以及骨骼和其他器官的癌症筛查.

成像 Stress Tests

  • Nuclear stress test: 放射性物质心脏石被用来成像心脏在休息和压力. 将这些图像进行比较，以评估心脏不同区域的血流情况，并确定冠状动脉是否存在阻塞.
  • Chemical stress test: 如果患者不能在跑步机上运动，可能会要求进行化学压力测试. 这些化学物质包括lexiscan和多巴酚丁胺，并与超声心动图或核成像一起使用.
  • Stress echocardiogram: 心脏的超声图像是在心脏受压的不同阶段拍摄的. Depending on the patient’s physical condition, 他或她可能会进行运动压力测试或化学压力测试以及压力超声心动图.

PET F18 Bone Survey

PET F18骨测量是一个强大的工具，可以帮助捕获骨骼的高清图像, 使医生更容易准确地检测到已经扩散到骨骼的癌症. 这种骨检查需要更短的扫描等待时间:从注射到检查的时间大约是45分钟，而传统的骨扫描需要4小时. 与传统的骨扫描30分钟相比，实际的测试只需要大约20分钟. 赌博正规软件下载是该地区第一家提供这种令人兴奋的抗癌进展的机构.

超声波

超声波 imaging uses sound waves to create images of body organs and tissues in order to:

  • Diagnose pathology
  • Locate internal bleeding and fluid
  • Evaluate blood flow in the upper and lower extremities and the 大脑
  • Perform prenatal, obstetrical, gynecological and breast evaluations
  • 协助医生通过图像引导到感兴趣的区域进行活组织检查
  • 协助医生为治疗目的从腹部或胸部排出液体

数字x光

Saint Francis has the latest technology in 数码影像, which allows for lower radiation doses and provides higher-quality imaging. This results in a more precise diagnosis.

一些x射线研究，如透视，使用注射或摄入的造影剂来帮助诊断体内病变. 透视检查是一种实时x线图像，使医生能够评估吞咽和反流等生理功能.
