Our Services
At Houston Medical Imaging, we offer a comprehensive range of advanced imaging services, utilizing the latest technologies and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precise and reliable diagnostics.
MRI/MRA
MRI and MRA are both types of scans used to create detailed images of internal body structures such as organs, tissues and bones. The MRI machine creates a magnetic field which bounces radio waves through the body which work to map the scanned section being imaged.
Both MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) are noninvasive and painless diagnostic tools.
PET Scan
Positron emission tomography (PET) scans detect early signs of cancer, heart disease and brain conditions. The procedure requires an injection of a small amount of a radioactive tracer which allows the scanner to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body.
A PET scan measures important body functions, such as blood flow, oxygen use, and sugar (glucose) metabolism, to help doctors evaluate how well organs and tissues are functioning.
CT Scan
A CT scan is a noninvasive type of X-Ray that creates multiple, cross-sectional images of the body which allows for a detailed examination of internal structures. This exam helps radiologists and physicians diagnose medical conditions that may not be visible on other types of imaging technology.
Dexa Scan
A DEXA scan, also known as a bone density scan, is a painless, noninvasive X-Ray procedure that measures bone strength and thickness. It is most often used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. DEXA scans can also be used to assess the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatments and to predict the likelihood of future fractures.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine is a specialized area of radiology that uses very small amounts of a radioactive substance for the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions, including cancer. Nuclear imaging shows organ and tissue structure more clearly, as well as blood circulation, and how well organs or tissue are working.
Houston Medical Imaging is a network of outpatient imaging centers. We believe the best way to prevent, detect and treat cancer involves both collaborative care and full patient participation.
