- ElectrocardiogramWe are no longer performing x-rays or ekgs. Please contact your health care provider for another available facility. All other studies are still being performed. Thank you.

- UltrasoundUltrasound imaging is a safe and painless Diagnostics study that creates pictures of the inside of the body using sound waves. There is no radiation involved. It involves the use of a transducer and a special type of gel which is placed directly on the skin. Images are captured in real-time so it is possible to see the structure and movement of the body’s internal organs as well as blood flowing through blood vessels. Ultrasound imaging assists healthcare providers in diagnosing and treating a variety of medical conditions. It is a useful tool for evaluating symptoms such as pain, swelling or infection. Some of the primary organs examined include...
- MRIHollywood Diagnosticss Center is proud to introduce our new, open upright MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) unit. The G-scan Brio by Esaote is specifically designed for all musculoskeletal applications. The open and tilting design is a revolutionary way of performing a MRI
- RadiologyMammography aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer when it is most treatable. It makes it possible to show changes long before a provider or patient may realize there is a problem. Current guidelines from the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) recommend a yearly screening mammogram for all women beginning at age 40. If there is a history of personal or family breast cancer, your provider may request a different timeline for mammography.

- Nuclear MedicinePositron emission tomography (PET or PET scan) is a type of nuclear medicine imaging. This Diagnostics procedure uses very small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and treat a variety of diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
- MammographyA mammogram is an x-ray of the soft tissue of the breast. It is the recommended modality for early detection of breast cancer. We offer both screening and Diagnostics mammograms. Screening mammograms are performed in individuals with no signs or symptoms of breast problems. Diagnostics mammograms are performed when signs and symptoms of breast problems are present. Such problems might include breast lumps, nipple discharge, change in breast shape or size, and/or breast pain. Diagnostics mammograms often take a little longer to perform because more x-rays are needed to show the breast from different angles.
- Computed TomographyA PET/CT provides this information by measuring important body functions in our facility. The images created by PET are superimposed with CT (Computed tomography) to produce special views of the areas being scanned. CT is a tomographic imaging technique that uses an x-ray beam to produce anatomic images. This anatomic information is used to detect and help determine the location and extent of malignancies. Combined PET/CT devices provide both the physiologic/metabolic information from PET and the anatomic information from CT in a single examination. PET/CT acquisitions can include the whole body, an extended portion of the body, or a limited portion of the body. These images can then be viewed and interpreted by our radiologist on a computer. The most common PET scan performed is an F18-FDG PET/CT SCAN. F18-FDG PET is a tomographic imaging technique that uses a radiolabeled analog of glucose, 18F-FDG, to image relative glucose use rates in various tissues. Because glucose use is increased in many malignancies, F18-FDG PET is a sensitive method for detecting, staging, and monitoring the effects of therapy on many malignancies.
- ChemotherapyDiagnostics procedure uses very small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and treat a variety of diseases such as cancer and heart disease. It is considered to be noninvasive and painless. PET is able to pinpoint molecular activity in the body which makes it possible to identify disease in its earliest stages and to determine a patient’s immediate response to therapeutic interventions like chemotherapy.
