乳房核磁共振成像 Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test used to detect breast cancer and other abnormalities in the breast. 乳房核磁共振成像可以捕获乳房的多张图像. The images are combined, using a computer, to generate detailed pictures. 在某些情况下, 比如乳腺癌高风险的女性, breast MRI may be used with mammograms as a screening tool for detecting breast cancer.
CT扫描 A computerized tomography (CT) scan produces exceptionally clear three-dimensional images of structures inside your body. It is used to diagnose disease or injury or to plan medical or surgical treatment. It is particularly well-suited to quickly examine people who may have internal injuries from car accidents or other types of trauma. CT technology combines a series of x射线 images taken from different angles and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images, 或片, 骨头, 你体内的血管和软组织.
用扫描仪 (骨密度测试). A DEXA scan can determine if you have osteoporosis — a disease that causes bones to become more fragile and more likely to break. The test uses x射线s to measure how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a segment of bone. 你躺在一张柔软的桌子上. 扫描仪通过你的下脊柱和臀部. 在大多数情况下，你不需要脱衣服.
图像引导穿刺活检 An image-guided needle biopsy is a procedure that uses x-ray or ultrasound to precisely guide a special needle to a tumor or lesion in your body. The needle removes a small amount of tissue for laboratory testing.
磁共振成像 (MRI). 核磁共振成像是用来观察人体软组织结构的. Unlike CT, it uses no ionizing radiation, but rather magnets and radio waves to create images. 电子老虎机游戏平台网址大全有两个核磁共振系统, 其中之一是强大的3T核磁共振成像——亚利桑那州仅有的几台, which produces a much stronger magnetic field than conventional MRI systems. 它在神经(脑)学方面非常有用。, 肌肉骨骼(身体), 心血管(血管和心脏), 癌症成像.
乳房x光检查 (3D乳房断层合成). A mammogram is an x射线 image of your breast used to screen for breast cancer. Mammograms play a key role in early breast cancer detection and help decrease breast cancer deaths. 在电子老虎机游戏平台网址大全, all mammograms are provided using advanced 3D mammography technology (called 3D breast tomosynthesis), which produces exceptionally clear three-dimensional images that enable doctors to see details in breast tissue in a way never before possible. Clinical studies show that 3D mammography significantly improves detection of early stage breast cancer, 尤其是乳房组织致密的女性.
电子老虎机游戏平台网址大全 currently offers free 3D screening mammograms to women who reside in Mohave County through our Catch It Early program.
PET / CT扫描 电子老虎机游戏平台网址大全’s Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) scanner is state-of-the-art technology that merges PET and CT together for showing how your tissues and organs are functioning. A PET / CT扫描 uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. The tracer collects in areas of your body that have higher levels of chemical activity, 哪些通常与疾病区域相对应. 在PET/CT扫描中，这些区域显示为亮点.
PSMA PET扫描 This PET scan involves the use of a specialized radioactive tracer to detect prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) — a protein on the surface of prostate cancer cells. This allows doctors to determine the precise location of prostate cancer lesions, 这样他们就可以制定有针对性的治疗计划.
超声波 超声波 (also called sonography) is an imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures within your body. The images can provide valuable information for diagnosing and treating a variety of diseases and conditions.
x射线 x光是一种快速检查, painless test that produces images of structures inside your body — particularly your bones. x射线 beams pass through your body and they are absorbed in different amounts depending on the density of the material they pass through. Dense materials, such as bone and metal, show up as white on x射线s. 你肺部的空气显示为黑色. 脂肪和肌肉呈灰色. 用于某些类型的x射线测试, a contrast medium — such as iodine or barium — is introduced into your body to provide greater detail on the images.
