Imaging technology plays a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Highly specialized equipment provides a window into the form and function of the body's internal systems. The images yielded provide the thousand words the radiologist needs to understand and interpret what is happening in the patient's body.
Each piece of equipment is designed with very specific purposes in mind and result in different types of images. This simple fact is why EPIC features all major technologies in its facilities. It is not uncommon to move a patient from an MRI to a CT if the latter is more appropriate for diagnosis.
