Diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating medical conditions. At Langdon Prairie Health, our board-certified radiologists provide the highest standard of imaging services for every patient.
Our Diagnostic Imaging Services
Bone Density Scans (DEXA Scan)
This scan uses X-rays to measure bone mineral density, often focusing on areas like the hip, leg, spine, and arms. It helps assess bone health and risks for conditions like osteoporosis.
Cardiac Stress Tests
Performed in a controlled environment, this test evaluates the heart's response to stress, either through exercise or pharmacological stimulation. It helps diagnose various heart conditions.
CT Scans
CT scans combine multiple X-ray images taken from different angles to create cross-sectional images of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. This provides more detailed information than a standard X-ray.
Digital Radiography
A non-invasive imaging technique using X-rays to diagnose a wide range of conditions, including fractures, lung issues, and gastrointestinal diseases.
3D Mammograms
This advanced mammography technology creates a three-dimensional image of the breast, offering clearer images for early breast cancer detection. Benefits of 3D Mammography: • Earlier detection of small cancers • Fewer biopsies and follow-up tests • Clearer images for dense breast tissue • Greater accuracy in determining tumor size and location
Digital Ultrasounds
This technique uses sound waves to detect abnormalities in various parts of the body, aiding in diagnosing conditions without radiation exposure.
Echocardiograms and EKG
These non-invasive tests monitor heart health. Echocardiograms use ultrasound to assess heart structure, while EKGs track electrical impulses to detect abnormalities.
Holter Monitor
A portable device that continuously records the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, providing valuable data for diagnosing heart conditions.
Low Dose CT (Lung Cancer Screening)
A low-dose CT scan creates detailed images of the lungs, helping to detect lung cancer early in high-risk individuals.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
MRI technology produces detailed 3D images of the body's structures. Our MRI machine has a larger opening for patient comfort and provides high-resolution images of the cardiovascular, vascular, and musculoskeletal systems.
Radiology
This field uses imaging technology for both diagnosing and treating diseases. It includes diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology.
Sleep Studies (Polysomnography)
Polysomnography is used to diagnose sleep disorders by monitoring various physiological parameters during sleep.
X-ray
X-rays use electromagnetic radiation to create images of tissues and structures inside the body, essential for diagnosing a wide range of conditions.
