Radiology
Loris Healthcare System offers some of the n ewest and most modern imaging services available for diagnoses and treatment. The department is staffed with professional, qualified technicians because our radiologists are committed to providing the best imaging (X-ray) and diagnostic care.
We offer radiology services at both Loris Community Hospital and Seacoast Medical Center.
Services include:
- X-ray - photographic images of the body used to diagnose patients.
- Ultrasound (includes OB, Diagnostic and Vascular) - painless procedure that uses high frequency sound waves to create images of the pelvic area, abdominal area, fetus or breast.
- CT scan - provides computerized images used to evaluate tumors, hemorrhages, and other abnormalities.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - allows physicians to view the brain, spine, internal organs, and other soft tissues without radiation or other invasive procedures. Open MRI available at Seacoast Medical Center.
- Mammography - a vital tool in the detection of breast cancer. Detecting breast cancer at its earliest stage can dramatically increase the chance of successful treatments.
- Stereotactic Non-Surgical Biopsy - provides tissue sample and identifies mass using radiological guidance. This procedure is less invasive, less painful, requires only local anesthesia, and results in little or no scarring.
- Nuclear Medicine - uses radioactive isotopes to scan the body for areas that absorb an abnormal amount of the isotope which indicates disease processes.
