At Gateway Medical Center we pride ourselves in the state-of-the-art technology in our Diagnostic Imaging department. We offer diagnostic radiology (x-ray), CT, ultrasound, nuclear medicine (including single emission computerized tomography, or SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and mammography.

Our 64-Slice CT Scanners offer the latest in diagnostic imaging technology. This advanced technology allows radiologists to view bones, organs, blood vessels and even the heart in extraordinary detail. This information helps physicians detect and treat life-threatening illnesses at earlier stages, including heart disease, cancer and stroke. And because the new scanners more comfortably accommodate larger patients and offer quick scan times, patients have a more pleasant experience.

Gateway now offers Balloon Kyphoplasty, a minimally invasive treatment option for patients suffering from spinal fractures due to osteoporosis. Balloon Kyphoplasty is designed to correct spinal deformity due to osteoporotic fractures, significantly reducing back pain and improving a patient’s ability to return to daily activities.

Gateway also utilizes the Picture Archival Communications System (PACS) which allows physicians to view high-quality digitally captured clinical images while offering the capacity to perform on-screen manipulation regardless of location.

Diagnostic Imaging staff members perform more than 70,000 inpatient and outpatient exams every year. Physician coverage is provided by five board-certified radiologists. Our mammography-screening program is approved by the Food and Drug Administration and the American College of Radiology. For more information, call 931-551-1751.
