CAT扫描

计算机轴向断层扫描(CAT扫描)使用辐射产生高质量的图像, 诊断, 轴向图像. These images are interpreted by radiologists who detect abnormalities in the body such as cancers, 骨折和神经系统疾病. These scanners are operated by a staff of nationally-registered CAT scan technologists who perform the lowest-dose scans while still providing high-quality 诊断 imaging.

圣弗朗西斯提供三种高品质的CAT扫描仪:

专用介入扫描仪
一个专门的急诊室/创伤扫描仪
这里唯一的双能量闪光CT扫描仪

闪光CT扫描

我们的flash CT扫描仪提供以下功能:

用于检测胸部和肺部异常的低剂量肺部筛查
在一次跳动中对整个心脏进行高质量扫描
识别心脏、冠状动脉和心脏瓣膜的异常
能够扫描整个胸部, abdomen and pelvis in a mere eight seconds compared to 45 seconds on a traditional scanner
减少75%的辐射使用
儿科患者无需屏住呼吸就可以进行扫描
更快的扫描时间，减少辐射和显著降低重复率

PET和CT

Position emission tomography (PET) at Saint Francis Medical Center provides advanced 诊断s for cancer, 神经系统疾病和心脏功能. 与核磁共振, 显示身体内部结构的CT或x射线, PET scans detect activity in the tissues of the body and help physicians diagnose various diseases and conditions.

圣弗朗西斯的PET / CT结合了位置发射断层扫描(PET)和计算机断层扫描一个扫描器. This system enables clinicians to visualize tissue and organs as well as observe their function. PET / CT scanners also enable physicians to better diagnose ailments such as cancer, neurological diseases and bone masses and pinpoint the exact location of the disease.

介入放射学

Interventional radiologists at Saint Francis specialize in minimally-invasive procedures using imaging guidance. 使用x射线, CT, 超声和其他成像方式, 他们获得的图像可以指导全身的仪器. 这些手术是用针和导管进行的, rather than large surgical incisions and offer an alternative to open surgical procedures. This allows for smaller incisions, less risk, less pain and shorter recovery times for the patient. Some procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis and are often less expensive than traditional surgery.

核磁共振成像

磁共振成像(核磁共振成像) 生成身体所有部位的非常详细的图像. 它是非侵入性的，不使用辐射. 这个过程是无痛的，没有副作用，并用于诊断:

脑部疾病
中风
感染
肌腱炎
软组织损伤
骨肿瘤
囊肿
椎间盘髓光盘

Saint Francis was the region’s first healthcare facility to offer the latest 核磁共振成像 technology with the addition of Siemens MAGNETOM Tesla 3.0 核磁共振成像系统. These systems provide a larger openings for enhanced patient comfort and a short bore design, allowing the patient’s head to be outside of the machine for 60 percent of scans.

加上Aera磁铁, patients receive the highest quality in 核磁共振成像 imaging thanks to its superior design and enhanced software.

Saint Francis also has the latest scanning technology which reduces or eliminates artifacts. 这确保了对假体患者更准确的诊断.

核医学

核医学使用少量放射性示踪剂对人体器官系统成像. 这些示踪剂要么被注射，要么被摄入体内. Nuclear imaging is used to determine how well organs are functioning when compared to the anatomy seen using other imaging modalities. 核成像可用于评估心脏功能, 大脑, 肾脏, gastrointestinal system and lungs as well as screen for cancer in bones and other organs.

成像压力测试

核压力试验: The radioactive material cardiolite is used to image the heart at rest and when stress. These images are compared to assess blood flow in different areas of the heart and to determine if there is blockage in the coronary arteries.
化学应力测试: If a patient is unable to exercise on a treadmill, a chemical stress test may be ordered. These chemicals include lexiscan and dobutamine and are used in conjunction with an echocardiogram or nuclear imaging.
超声心动图压力: 超声波 images of the heart are taken during various stages of cardiac stress. 取决于病人的身体状况, he or she may have an exercise stress test or chemical stress test along with a stress echocardiogram.

PET F18骨调查

PET F18骨调查 is a powerful tool which helps capture high-definition images of bones, making it easier for doctors to accurately detect cancer which has spread to the bone. This bone survey requires a shorter wait time for the scan: The time from injection to exam is about 45 minutes compared to four hours for a conventional bone scan. The actual test takes only about 20 minutes compared to 30 minutes for a conventional bone scan. Saint Francis Medical Center is the first facility in the region to offer this exciting cancer-fighting advancement.

超声波

超声成像利用声波产生人体器官和组织的图像，以便:

诊断病理学
找出内出血和积液
评估上肢、下肢和脑部的血流量
进行产前、产科、妇科和乳房检查
Assist physicians in performing biopsies by image guidance into area of interest
Assist physicians in the removal of fluid from the abdomen or chest for therapeutic purposes

数字x光

圣弗朗西斯拥有最先进的技术数码影像，这样可以降低辐射剂量，并提供更高质量的成像. 这将导致更精确的诊断.

Some X-ray studies such as fluoroscopy use contrast material which is injected or ingested to aid in the diagnosis of lesions within the body. Fluoroscopy is a live X-ray image which allows the physician to evaluate physiological functions such as swallowing and reflux.
