The department of Imaging Services at University Hospitals Elyria Medical Center offers a wide variety of medical imaging technologies to help diagnose and treat diseases. Three convenient locations, along with evening, weekend and walk-in appointments make it easy for patients to get the tests they need, right when they need them.
Our comprehensive services include:
CT scan - a non-invasive test that combines special x-ray equipment and computers to produce images of inside the body.
Cardiac CT - A painless test using an x-ray machine to take multiple pictures of small "slices" of the heart. A computer puts the pictures together to create one large 3-D reconstruction of the heart, allowing us to see arteries and veins.
Cardiac MR - A non-invasive test that uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pictures of the heart, without exposure to radiation or the use of an injected contrasting agent.
DEXA Scan (bone density) - A non-invasive test using an enhanced form of x-ray technology to help measure bone loss.
Diagnostic - utilizing both fluoroscopy and x-ray.
- Fluoroscopy - A non-invasive test for obtaining real-time x-ray images of a patient using a television camera.
- X-ray - A non-invasive test that involves exposing the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of inside the body.
Mammography - A non-invasive test using low doses of x-ray to examine breasts. EMH offers both screening and diagnostic mammography as well as Breast MRI. Patients are offered the MammoPad® to enhance comfort during the exam.
PET/CT - Positron emission tomography (PET) - a type of nuclear imaging - is superimposed with a CT scan to produce more precise images within the body. EMH Regional Healthcare System is equipped with the latest technologies available.
MRI - Magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive test that uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pictures of organs, tissue, bone and other internal body structures.
Nuclear Medicine - A branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material t
