Cameron Regional Medical Center (CRMC) provides a full range of diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology services to assist in the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of various medical conditions. Our board-certified radiologic technologists and radiologists use the latest technology to ensure high-quality, accurate results for both inpatient and outpatient needs.

With teleradiology capabilities, images can be quickly transmitted for faster interpretations and second opinions, reducing wait times for results and improving patient care.

Comprehensive Imaging Services

X-Ray (Radiography & Fluoroscopy)

• Digital X-rays for bone fractures, lung conditions, infections, and more.
• Upper and lower GI fluoroscopy for digestive tract evaluations.
• Cystograms for urinary tract and bladder imaging.
• Hysterosalpingograms to detect fallopian tube blockages.
• Mobile fluoroscopy (C-arm) for real-time imaging during surgery and emergency care.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

• Non-invasive imaging that uses electromagnetic waves to create detailed body scans.
• Ideal for soft tissue, brain, spinal cord, and joint evaluations.
• No radiation exposure and high-resolution imaging from multiple angles.

CT Scan (Computed Tomography)

• Cross-sectional imaging using X-rays and computer processing.
• Common uses:
• Detection of tumors, fractures, infections, and internal injuries.
• Cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
• Guiding biopsies and surgical planning.
• Cancer Screening

Nuclear Medicine

• Uses small amounts of radioactive material to assess organ function and detect diseases.
• Common nuclear scans include:
• Myocardial perfusion (heart scans)
• Bone, lung, thyroid, and gallbladder imaging
• Renal imaging to evaluate kidney function
  
  

Echo Vascular Imaging

• Ultrasound-based vascular studies to assess blood flow and detect blockages or abnormalities.
• Common uses:
• Carotid artery imaging for stroke risk assessment
• Lower extremity Doppler studies for peripheral artery disease (PAD)
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) evaluation
  
  

Ultrasound

• Non-invasive, radiation-free imaging using high-frequency sound waves.
• Common uses:
• Pregnancy monitoring
• Abdominal, pelvic, and vascular imaging
• Guidance for biopsies and fluid drainage procedures
  
  

PET Scan (Positron Emission Tomography)

• Advanced imaging to detect cancer, brain disorders, and heart conditions.
•  Uses a small amount of radioactive material to visualize metabolic activity.
• Frequently combined with CT scans for more precise diagnoses.

Mammography & Breast Care

•  FDA-certified Mammography Unit, accredited by the American College of Radiology
• Services include:
• Screening and diagnostic mammograms
• Breast ultrasound
• Needle localization and biopsy guidance
• Cyst aspirations

Bone Density

• Quick, non-invasive test to measure bone mineral density (BMD).
• Helps diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk.
• Uses low-dose X-rays to scan the spine, hips, or other bones.
• Recommended for postmenopausal women, older adults, and high-risk individuals.
• Minimal preparation; avoid calcium supplements 24 hours before.
• Provides T-score (compares to young adults) and Z-score (compares to same age group).
• Early detection helps prevent fractures and guide treatment.

Interventional Radiology

Minimally invasive treatments guided by advanced imaging technology.

Interventional Radiology (IR) uses X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound guidance to perform targeted procedures without traditional surgery. These techniques allow for faster recovery times, less pain, and fewer complications compared to open surgical procedures.

Common Conditions Treated

• Uterine Fibroids – Treated using uterine artery embolization.
• Liver Disease – Includes liver biopsies and portal vein embolization.

Interventional Radiology Procedures

• Thyroid & Breast Biopsies: A procedure to remove a small sample of tissue from the thyroid or breast for examination, used to diagnose conditions like cancer or benign growths.
• Athrograms: Imaging procedure using contrast dye to visualize joints and soft tissues, helping diagnose issues like tears or joint abnormalities.
• Pain Injections: Targeted injections of medication (like steroids or anesthetics) to relieve pain and inflammation, commonly used in the back, neck, or joints.
• General Fluoro: A type of real-time X-ray imaging used to monitor and guide procedures, such as catheter placement or joint movement.
