- Why choose it: Radiation-free, detailed functional assessment, vital for diagnosing valve disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy and more.
- Your experience: You lie on your left side as the sonographer places the transducer on various chest locations; you may be asked to hold your breath briefly.
- Results: Comprehensive report from our cardiology team delivered within 24 hours.
- Insurance & payment: We accept Medicare, PPOs, HMOs and cash; no prior authorization required for HMO plans.
General Ultrasound

- What it shows: Abdomen (liver, gallbladder, kidneys), pelvic organs, thyroid, testes, shoulders, pediatric hips and more.
- Procedure length: 20–30 minutes.
- Why choose it: Safe for all ages, portable for home or facility visits, immediate feedback.

- Results: Preliminary findings at the end of your scan; full radiologist interpretation within 24 hours.
- Insurance & payment: We accept Medicare, PPOs, HMOs and cash; no prior authorization required for HMO plans.
MRI
Our high-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system uses powerful magnets and radio waves – never radiation – to produce exceptionally detailed images of soft tissues throughout your body.
- What it shows: Brain, spine, joints, abdomen, pelvis and blood vessels.
- Procedure length: 30–45 minutes, depending on the area scanned.
- Why choose it: Superior contrast resolution for diagnosing herniated discs, ligament tears, tumors, stroke, multiple sclerosis and more.
- Your experience: You lie comfortably on a sliding table while the gantry makes gentle “thumping” sounds. Ear protection and two-way intercom ensure you’re relaxed and heard.
- Results: Preliminary findings in under 2 hours; full radiologist report delivered within 24 hours.

Vascular Studies
Our Doppler ultrasound exams assess blood flow and vessel health in arteries and veins – crucial for screening peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis and carotid artery blockages.
- What it shows: Blood velocity, vessel narrowing, clots, aneurysms and valve competence.
- Procedure length: 20–30 minutes.
- Why choose it: Non-invasive, painless, safe for repeat exams and follow-up assessments.
- Your experience: A gel-coated transducer is placed along the course of the vessels; you’ll lie still while gentle pressure is applied.
- Results: Color-flow images and waveforms interpreted by vascular specialists; report available same-day.
- Insurance & payment: We accept Medicare, PPOs, HMOs and cash; no prior authorization required for HMO plans.
X-Ray
Our digital X-ray suite delivers high-resolution images of bones, lungs and soft tissue – perfect for evaluating fractures, chest infections and joint alignment.
