Imaging Methods Available at Pomerene
Bone Densitometry
A Bone Density, or DXA, is an exam that uses low energy x-rays to diagnose osteoporosis. Imaging of the lower back and both hips are usually completed. Sometimes an image of your forearm may be taken.
Cardiovascular
Cardiac and vascular testing uses ultrasound to take pictures and recordings of the heart and blood vessels. Ultrasound technology uses high frequency sound-waves to create pictures and recordings of the heart and blood vessels. The procedures are painless and have no known side-effects. After a water-based gel is applied to the skin, the sonographer places a small transducer on the surface of the skin and obtains and records the pictures for later interpretation by a specially-trained doctor.
Diagnostic X-Rays
Diagnostic X-Rays are a source of radiation used in imaging that produces energy beams capable of penetrating most substances.
Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy is an imaging technology that is a variation of x-ray technology and is used to obtain real-time images of internal structures of a patient.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Learn MoreMRI is an advanced, state-of-the-art diagnostic test which produces images of the body without the use of x-rays. MRI uses powerful, but harmless, magnetic field and radiowaves to produce the images.
3D Mammography
Learn MoreA Mammogram is a radiographic procedure using small amounts of radiation to detect masses and other abnormalities of the breast. Our SmartCurve system is clinically proven to deliver a more comfortable mammogram without increasing dose. Its curved compression surface mirrors the shape of a woman's breast , eliminating the discomfort factor.
It is capable of detecting approximately 20-65% more invasive breast cancers and reduces additional imaging, biopsies and callbacks.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine involves the use of small amounts of radioactive materials (or tracers) to help diagnose and treat a variety of diseases. Nuclear medicine determines the cause of the medical problem based on the function of the organ, tissue or bone.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of organs, blood vessels, and tissues within the body. These high-frequency sound waves are inaudible to the human ear and are transmitted through the body by an instrument called a transducer. A water-based gel is applied to the skin to help transmit the sound waves then special computer equipment converts the sound waves into an image.
MRI Patient Questionnaire
Your safety is our top priority. Please take a few minutes to complete this questionnaire. The information you provide helps our MRI team ensure that your exam is performed safely and accurately.
Please answer each question to the best of your knowledge. If you have any questions or are unsure about any information requested, our staff will be happy to assist you.
Medical Imaging You Deserve. Results You Can Trust.
Capturing quality MRI images are important for making the right diagnoses. Experience the next generation of diagnostic clarity with our high-field MRI scanner. Our Siemens Aera MRI system combines advanced imaging technology with customized workflows, enabling faster scans, reduced wait times, and diagnostic accuracy-"we understand that every second counts in patient care."
You deserve a BETTER mammogram
Pomerene Hospitals offers 3D mammography, an advanced breast screening service, clinically proven to deliver a superior clinical performance to 2D mammography. Early detection is key to preventing and treating breast cancer. The advanced 3D mammography can help find cancer earlier and provide more accurate diagnoses, without increasing radiation dose. Greater accuracy means BETTER detection and BETTER detection saves lives.
- 20-65% more invasive breast cancers detected, compared to 2D mammography
- Reduction of callbacks, additional images and biopsies
- Installed with the “SmartCurve” System, proven to deliver a more comfortable experience
- Results within 24-hours!
Our team utilizes the SmartCurve™ Breast Stabilization System, clinically proven to deliver a more comfortable mammogram, without compromising image quality and exam time. It’s curved compression surface mirrors the shape of a woman’s breast, eliminating discomfort.

Is it time to schedule your mammogram?
The American College of Radiology recommends the following Breast Cancer Screenings for Women of Average Risk*
- Women age 40 and older (who have no symptoms) should have an annual mammogram.
- Screening with mammography should continue as long as the woman is in good health and willing to undergo additional testing (including biopsy) if an abnormality is detected.
*If you are or may be at high risk for breast cancer, you should speak with your provider to decide if additional screening tests might be right for you.
Screening mammograms save lives
Screening mammography prevents deaths from breast cancer through early detection. This is supported by clear evidence from studies showing fewer breast cancer deaths in women who had screening mammograms compared to those who did not.
Regular screenings make a difference
The most breast cancer deaths are prevented and lives saved when screening mammography is performed annually beginning at age 40.
Early detection reduces severity of treatment
Early detection with mammography not only saves lives but also reduces the severity of treatment that women with breast cancer undergo. Studies have demonstrated that women whose breast cancers are found with screening mammography are less likely to have more intensive treatment such as mastectomy or chemotherapy.
Results aren't always right
The primary limitations of screening mammography are that it will not find all cancers and may require some additional testing for non-cancers. Physicians and scientists continue to work to improve breast cancer screening methoss. One example is digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), a new 3-D technique for performing screening mammography that is now available. DBT is a more accurate mammogram which directly addresses the limitations of standard mammography.
