Additional Information: Computed tomography (CT) uses low dosage x-rays to produce a volume of data that can be displayed as cross sections (slices) in multiple planes. This volumetric data may also be used to produce 3 dimensional images.

The images can be digitally manipulated in order to display tissues of varying density from lung to bone. Any part of the body may be imaged using CT.

CIG provides low dose multislice CT services at all of our locations.

Additional Information: Fine needle biopsy is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate superficial (just under the skin) lumps or masses. In this technique, a thin, hollow needle is inserted into the mass for sampling of cells that will be examined under a microscope.

Fine needle aspiration biopsies are very safe, minor surgical procedures.

Additional Information: Ultrasound refers to the use of high frequency sound waves (too high for humans to hear) to produce images.

The sonographer places a transducer on your skin which both generates the sound and receives echoes from structures inside your body. Computers and advanced software then convert the echo information into the image you see on the screen.

Most people may know that ultrasound is routinely used to monitor different stages of pregnancy. However, ultrasound can give valuable diagnostic information about many other parts of the body and disease processes. This includes imaging of abdominal organs, muscles and other organs.
