Call for Information

The Encino Hospital Medical Center’s Imaging Department offers a full spectrum of services including:

Diagnostic Radiology/Fluoroscopy

A radiological technique for obtaining X-ray images of a living patient. A radiologist uses a switch to control an X-Ray beam that is transmitted through the patient. The X-rays then strike a fluorescent plate that is coupled to an “image intensifier” that is coupled to a television camera. The radiologist can then watch the images on a TV monitor.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

MRI’s are used to visualize the internal structure and function of the body. MRI provides much greater contrast between the different soft tissues of the body, making it especially useful in neurological (brain), musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and oncological (cancer) imaging.

Computed Tomography

CT scanning is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the inside of a patient’s body. CT scans are produced by computer which are then manipulated to show various bodily structures.

Ultrasound

A type of equipment that is used to visualize subcutaneous body structures including tendons, muscles, joints, vessels and internal organs.

Echovascular

Specialized cardiac and vascular ultrasound test.

Nuclear Medicine

A specialty of medicine and medical imaging that uses radioactive isotopes and relies on the process of radioactive decay in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
