You don’t need to drive into the city for the latest and most effective imaging technology. AHN Jefferson Hospital’s imaging capabilities include everything from ultrasounds and X-rays to interventional radiology and nuclear medicine outpatient procedures. This allows us to quickly and accurately detect, diagnose, and even treat a wide range of conditions.
AHN Jefferson Hospital offers a full range of diagnostic imaging tests and services close to home, including:
Angiography is a type of interventional radiology that can detect, diagnose, and help treat heart disorders, stroke, and diseases in your blood vessels.
A CT scan uses a computer and a series of X-rays to create more detailed images of your bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. A CT scan can be used to diagnose disease or injury and plan medical, surgical, or radiation treatment.
This test produces real-time images of internal organs to see if they’re functioning effectively. It’s most often used on the gastrointestinal tract, specifically the stomach and colon.
MRIs use radio waves and strong magnetic fields to help your physician see highly detailed images of internal body structures and organs without using radiation.
These tests inject small doses of radiation through an IV and special cameras to diagnose or determine the severity of diseases like cancer, heart disease, and gastrointestinal, endocrine, and neurological disorders.
A PET scan is an imaging test that uses specialized dye to see if your heart is receiving enough blood or if there is any damage to the heart muscle. Doctors can combine this test with a CT scan (known as a PET/CT) to more quickly and accurately assess cardiovascular disease while limiting the dose of radiation you receive.
Ultrasounds use sound waves to create detailed images of organs, tissues, and other structures. Jefferson Hospital offers general ultrasounds and vascular ultrasounds, which can help doctors find blockages in the arteries and veins in your arms, neck, and legs.
X-rays use electromagnetic waves to create black and white pictures of structures inside your body. The test only takes a few minutes and is typically used to look for problems affecting joints and bones. AHN Jefferson offers walk-in X-ray imaging, which means you don’t need to have an appointment.
