An MRI uses magnetism, radio waves, and a computer to produce images of body structures which provide accurate information regarding the structure of the joints, soft tissues, and bones of the body. The image and resolution produced by an MRI is quite detailed and can detect tiny changes in structures within the body, which makes it an extremely accurate method of disease detection.
A CT or CAT scan is an x-ray procedure which uses a computer to combine numerous x-ray images to generate cross-sectional views and three-dimensional images of the internal organs and structures of the body. CT scans are used to analyze the head, blood clots, skull fractures, tumors, infections, hearts, and even bone density. These scans assist doctors in procedures by helping physicians to accurately guide the placement of instruments or treatments.
Bingham Memorial Hospital’s radiology equipment is first-class, and is equal to, and in many cases better than the equipment in facilities around the region. Bingham Memorial has a state-of-the-art MRI Scanner, with a magnet that measures at 1.5 Tesla, and features software that is used in teaching hospitals. Bingham also has a new, 64-slice CT Scanner that is cutting-edge, and second to none in our area.
Bingham Memorial Hospital purchased a new DEXA Scanner (the most widely used method for measuring bone density), a specialized Vascular Ultrasound Machine that allows physicians to see inside vessels and arteries while performing procedures, and innovative Nuclear Medicine Equipment, which produces special pictures offering details on both the structure and function of organs and other internal body parts.
