Imaging Q & A

What is imaging?

Imaging refers to procedures that use advanced technologies to capture photos of your internal organs, soft tissues, or bones and joints. They provide a noninvasive way to diagnose illnesses, injuries, and disorders that don’t present visible symptoms. 

Executive Medicine of Texas has a state-of-the-art imaging facility that provides several types of diagnostics. Patients can receive a prompt diagnosis of fractures, heart disease, and even certain types of cancer.

What imaging services might I receive?

Executive Medicine of Texas offers several types of diagnostic imaging:

CT scans 

Computed tomography (CT) scans are a more advanced type of X-ray.  Executive Medicine of Texas uses CT scans to screen for lung cancer and heart disease. They also diagnose abnormalities of the kidneys, liver, and pancreas, 

Virtual colonoscopy (colonography)

3D virtual colonoscopy uses a CT scan to diagnose colon cancer early on when it’s easiest to treat. Unlike traditional colonoscopy, virtual colonoscopy requires no anesthesia. As a result,  you can return to work and other activities immediately after your appointment.

Carotid Doppler

Carotid Doppler is an ultrasound imaging technique that assesses the health of your carotid arteries –– two arteries on the sides of your neck that carry blood from your heart to your brain. If your test results are abnormal, your provider can recommend healthy lifestyle changes or medication to reduce your risk of a stroke. 

What type of imaging benefits me?

The qualified providers at Executive Medicine of Texas can help you determine the type of imaging that most benefits you. After an in-office consultation that includes a physical exam and a review of your health history, they can make recommendations according to your age and needs. 

Is diagnostic imaging safe?

Diagnostic imaging is safe and usually well-tolerated. CT scans expose you to small amounts of radiation, but the benefits of early diagnosis and treatment far outweigh the potential risks. What’s more, Executive Medicine of Texas provides the necessary protective equipment to ensure your safety.
