Imaging & Radiology

Get high-quality diagnostic imaging and image-guided treatments close to home. Barton Health's imaging and radiology services are fully accredited with the latest technology and our compassionate staff and board-certified radiologists, provide a healing environment where medical excellence is the standard.

Services

Access a full range of medical imaging, including:

Bone Imaging & Procedures
- Achilles Heel Scanner - used for the diagnosis of osteoporosis.
- Balloon kyphoplasty - minimally-invasive treatment to repair vertebral compression fractures.
- Bone Densitometry (DEXA) - measures bone loss.
Breast Imaging & Procedures
- Breast Biopsy - samples of breast tissue for diagnosis.
- Breast MRI/ MRI-Guided Breast Biopsies - beneficial for patients with a high risk of breast cancer, those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer or those who are undergoing chemotherapy.
- Mammography - state-of-the-art mammogram technology and 3D tomosynthesis.
Cardiac Imaging & Procedures
- Angiogram - checks arteries and veins to diagnose blockages and narrowing of the blood vessel.
- CT Heart Scan - A CT Cardiac Heart score study produces a 3D image of the heart, and can help physicians identify conditions like coronary artery disease (CAD) in just minutes without the use of treadmills or fasting. IV contrast is given to evaluate and identify problems, such as narrowing of the arteries.
Computed tomography (CT) - shows several types of tissue – lung, bone, soft tissue and blood vessels – with great clarity.
Interventional Radiology
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - creates detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues.
- Prostate MRI - non-invasive, high-level imaging helps direct treatment and biopsies.
Nuclear Medicine - evaluates organ function and locate disease, tumors, infection and other disorders.
- DaTscan - imaging used in conjunction with head imaging to help diagnose Parkinson’s Disease.
Pain Management - image-guided epidural and joint injections can provide area specific pain relief for chronic conditions.
Ultrasound - used to examine shape and movement of organs or tissue in the body.
Varicose Vein - Endovenous Laser Ablation seals the refluxing saphenous vein in your leg.
X-Ray

* Note, some medical imaging services may also incur a separate radiologist charge.

I saw the Achilles Heel Scanner (osteoporosis) machine on the floor in the room ... and she said she would do it right then and there after my mammo. It was fast and easy. I put my foot in the machine and some air pressure filled two "balloons" that squeezed my ankle. I got a result after just 30 seconds or so. So awesome. Thanks to Barton for investing in all the most up to date technology.

Complete Breast Imaging

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women nationwide, and early detection plays a crucial role in improving survival rates. Barton’s breast care program utilizes cutting-edge technologies:

3D Mammogram Screening: 3D mammograms via the wide-angle True Breast Tomosynthesis use a low dose x-ray sweep of the breast to create 25 thin, digital images of the breast, improving the detection of small masses and lesions.

Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): beneficial for patients with a high risk of breast cancer, those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer or those who are undergoing chemotherapy, a MRI uses radio waves and powerful magnets to create detailed pictures breast tissue.

Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM): a technique using an intravenous contrast agent to detect new or unusual blood flow patterns that develop when cancers grow. CEM is more effective at identifying cancers in dense breasts, which produce results that can be difficult to read using traditional methods.

Biopsy: whether you completed 3D or MRI screening, if an abnormality is detected, tissue must be collected for testing. With biopsies, a tissue sample can be collected via a minimally invasive procedure. These procedures are fast and accurate, allowing patients to get answers (about potentially harmful abnormalities and the extent of newly diagnosed breast cancer) sooner.
