Digital imaging is similar to taking a photo with a digital camera. Specially designed digital detectors produce an image that can be immediately displayed on a high-resolution computer monitor. The image is then stored and transmitted electronically to radiologists for viewing at all locations.

Digital imaging has many advantages, including improved image quality and instant access. In addition, digital imaging provides radiologists the ability to manipulate images for improved accuracy of interpretation. All images are digitally transferred between locations via our Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). So no matter which location you choose, you are sure to receive the benefit of the latest technology and expert interpretation. Your physician will also have instant access to your results either through PACS or a compact disc (CD).
