A bone density scan, also called DEXA, uses an x-ray to measure the bone mineral content and density. A DEXA scan produces more detailed images than a standard x-ray and helps to identify fragile bones before they break. It measures the bone density of the spine, pelvis, lower arm, and thigh.

Grady breast imaging radiologists are leaders in the field. Studies show that specialist radiologists detect more cancers and more early-stage cancers and have lower recall rates than general radiologists, so all of our breast imaging radiologists specialize in breast imaging, and read only breast images. Our experts perform breast screening and diagnostic imaging services, including traditional mammography, 3-D mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, and breast biopsies.

Computed Tomography (CT) uses x-rays to produce pictures or images of tissue inside the body. The CT machine moves an x-ray tube around the patient to produce multiple detailed images at different angles. This provides greater detail of soft tissue like organs or blood vessels than a traditional X-ray. CT can also be used for a tissue or fluid biopsy.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses high-powered magnets and radio waves to produce images of organs and structures inside the body. During an MRI, the patient lies on a table that is surrounded by magnets. Information collected by the MRI scanner is sent to a computer and translated into images.

An ultrasound, also called a sonogram, uses sound waves to produce images of soft tissues inside the body. Sound waves move through the body and, based on the frequency, signals are translated into images on a computer. Ultrasound can also be used for a tissue or fluid biopsy.

An x-ray machine uses a small dose of radiation to produce images of structures inside the body. The x-rays pass through the area of the body being examined and are translated into images captured on the other side of the body.
