All Swedish imaging departments are accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) in recognition of their demonstration of and commitment to quality diagnostic imaging.

Nuclear Imaging

Nuclear medicine is a specialty of medical imaging that uses medications to help detect the presence of disease or injury. Nuclear medicine patients are given a radioactive compound that travels through the body to the specific area being studied. A gamma camera is used to create images that provide information about the structure and function of most organ systems in the body.

Computed Tomography CT

A CT scan uses x-rays and computer technology to take multiple views of the inside of the body. Compared to regular x-rays, a CT scan can take clearer images of organs, bone, soft tissue, blood vessels and other parts of the body.

Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology (IR) uses advanced imaging technology to perform minimally invasive procedures, often through a small surgical incision. IR is used to perform biopsies, as well as treatments like ablation or embolization, which can help shrink tumors. Treatments can sometimes replace the need for traditional surgery, offering patients less pain, lower risk and faster recovery times.

Ultrasound

An ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses inaudible high-frequency sound waves emitted through the body to create an image of your internal organs on screen.

X-Ray & Fluoroscopy

X-rays are performed for various reasons such as, but not limited to, diagnosing bone injuries, tumors or chest infections.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI uses radio frequency waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide remarkably clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. Our MRI machines are specially designed to be less claustrophobic for patients.
