Imaging services

Imaging tests are a vital part of your medical care. That's true whether your doctor needs to find out if you might have a medical condition or wants to create a treatment plan after a diagnosis.

From ultrasound to X-rays, MRI to CT scans, some of the best medical imaging technology is right here at Unity Health.

Imaging tests we offer

We offer a variety of tests close to home so you don't have to travel far to get them done. Here are a few of the tests we offer:

  • Ultrasound, including general ultrasound scans and vascular ultrasound studies
  • Nuclear medicine scans, which use a safe amount of radioactive tracer and special cameras to diagnose and detect diseases and visualize the function of organs
  • MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans, which combine powerful magnets and radio waves to make highly detailed images. Our large-bore MRI scanners increase comfort for claustrophic or larger patients. And the powerful, 1.5 Tesla magnet helps to ensure high image quality.
  • CT (computed tomography) scans, which use x-rays and sophisticated computers to create high-quality images. Our multi-slice scanner allows doctors to quickly detect and treat life-threatening conditions, from cancer to lung disease.
  • General X-ray and digital fluoroscopy. Whether you need a chest or bone X-ray or a more specialized X-ray that shows real-time images, we can help.
  • PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) is provided at The Pyeatt Family Cancer Center.
  • Mammography for breast cancer detection without a physician's referral needed.
  • Echocardiogram to look for heart problems (Not available at Unity Health Harris Medical Center)

MRI exams are generally very safe, so long as the proper precautions are taken. Watch to learn more about the prep work you as a patient need to follow.
