Radiology

Diagnostic imaging has come a long way and is sure to keep climbing as technology improves.

In 2007, we began updating our x-ray room with digital fluoroscopy. In 2014, we added new mammography and ultrasound machines, which provide more comfortable exams for the patient and clearer images in test results. In 2015 we upgraded to a 32-slice CT, which acquires more images in less time, and at considerably lower radiation dosage to the patient. This leads to better image quality and better diagnoses while improving patient comfort and safety. In 2019, we remodeled our x-ray room and installed new equipment that’s top of the line and takes up less space, so it’s easier to wheel patients in and out of the room. We’ve also added a portable X-ray unit, which our techs take to patients in the Emergency Room or in Acute Care, and a C-arm for digital imaging during surgeries.

Our radiology department offers a safe and comfortable environment for ultrasounds.

At Three Rivers Hospital, we offer a wide variety of diagnostic imaging modalities. Our ultrasound services include vascular, arterial, cardiac, as well as labor and delivery. We also have the ability to send and receive studies for patients whose provider practices at another facility. This allows you to have the study done close to home, and your provider to have the results when you arrive at your next appointment. This means less travel for the patient and less stress about potential outcomes, and providers love the efficient electronic access to patient information.
