X-Ray

X-rays are a quick, safe, and painless way to produce internal images of the body. Conditions that may be detected using an x-ray include bone fractures and breaks, lung abnormalities, and certain cancers.

CT Scan

Computed Tomography (CT) scans use a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce detailed internal images of the body, including bones, muscles, organs, and blood vessels. CT scans are painless, non-invasive and help detect a wide range of injuries or diseases.

MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce 3-D images of the body. An MRI can help diagnose and plan treatment for almost any part of the body, including the brain, spinal cord, bones, and internal organs.

MRA

Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) is a non-invasive test that uses radio waves, magnetic fields, and a computer to evaluate blood vessels and blood flow. An MRA also detects narrowing and blockage in the arteries and helps in diagnosis or planning surgeries for many conditions.

MRV

Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) is a comfortable and accurate diagnostic procedure that uses large magnets, radio frequencies, and IV contrast dye to visualize the veins. An MRV is used to assess blood flow and detect certain abnormalities such as blood clots.

In most cases, a physician referral is required to receive imaging services.

How much does Insight Imaging charge for services?

Prices for services at Insight Imaging vary depending on the exam and your insurance plan.

Is there anything I should do to prepare for my imaging appointment?

When necessary, patients will receive special instructions when scheduling an appointment and prior to the exam. Otherwise, patients are advised to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. You may also be asked to remove jewelry and other metal objects.

Will my doctor receive my imaging results?

The physician who requested your imaging exam will receive access to your results within 48 hours.

I have a fear of enclosed spaces and am concerned about having an MRI?

Prior to the exam, tell your physician about your concerns. A technologist will be in communication with you during the entire exam should you need any assistance.

How long does it take to perform an MRI?

The length of time it takes to perform an MRI varies depending on a number of factors, including the type of exam and size of the area being scanned. In most cases, an MRI will last between 15 and 90 minutes.

How long does it take to perform a CT scan?

The length of time it takes to perform an MRI varies depending on a number of factors, including the type of exam and size of the area being scanned. In most cases, a CT scan without intravenous contrast will take approximately 10 minutes. When IV contrast is used, it can take as long as 30 minutes to complete a CT scan.

What is the purpose of intravenous contrast?

Intravenous (IV) contrast is a harmless dye that makes it easier to view internal organs and blood vessels. It is essential for patients to inform their physician and technologist of any allergies. In rare cases, patients may have an allergic reaction to contrast dyes. If an allergic reaction happens, patients will receive immediate treatment.

Radiation Safety

Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Radiation is used in many medical imaging procedures. Although high levels of radiation can be harmful, radiation used in everyday medical imaging is generally safe, can improve health outcomes, and even save lives.

Ask your healthcare provider about the specific benefits and risks of the procedure recommended for your specific situation. The following are a few benefits and risks of medical imaging radiation.

Benefits

  • Allows physicians to view organs, bones, tissues, and blood vessels
  • Provides detailed information to help physicians determine the best treatment options
  • Can be used during certain medical procedures such as placing catheters and stents

Risks

  • Excessive exposure to radiation from imaging could contribute to a slight increase in the development of cancer later in life
  • Fluoroscopy for guiding surgery uses higher does of radiation and may cause skin redness and hair loss
  • Some imaging procedures require intravenous (IV) contrast dye, which may cause an allergic reaction in some people
