"I cannot say enough wonderful things about PMI, they are a class
act in a league of their own, I will definitely return and will
tell all of my friends how wonderful they are."

Our Technology
MRI
MRI is a powerful diagnostic tool. It uses the force of a magnetic field and radio frequency
waves to produce signals that are then translated into images. Our scanner is designed to
eliminate a significant amount of the loud knocking associated with the procedure. The scanner
also has a larger opening than most MRIs. It is a 1.5 magnet.
Computed Tomography (CT)
CT technology uses radiation to take very thinly sliced images of the body. These slices may
be compiled into multi-dimensional pictures or may be examined individually. CT scans provide
valuable diagnostic information for a number of health problems.
Digital Mammography
Digital mammography is now considered the most accurate technique to screen for breast cancer,
surpassing film mammography for most patients. That is why your patients will find only digital
mammography at PMI. PMI uses the MammoPad to offer your patient's a softer experience with their
mammogram. All mammograms are read by one of our subspecialty women's imager radiologists.
Digital X-ray
X-rays use radiation to take images. X-ray is often used as the primary imaging method for many
injuries and health problems.
Bone Densitometry (DEXA Scan)
A DEXA scan is a screening procedure used to evaluate bone loss, or osteoporosis. The exam
includes x-ray images of the hip and lower spine using a very low level of radiation. A computer
uses these images to determine bone density, which can be compared to the value in young adults
and to adults of your same age and sex to determine whether your patient has osteoporosis.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound procedures use sound waves that go through or bounce off organs and vessels.
Ultrasound scans give the radiologist a "live" view of your body and provide a significant
amount of diagnostic information. Since ultrasound does not use radiation, it is a very safe way
of imaging your patient.
