Extended Coverage
We understand that most people work during the week days and it’s often a challenge to get an appointmentto fit into your busy schedule. We also know that when you’re faced with a potential health issue, you and your physician want answers fast. That is why, as part of Heart of Florida’s commitment to incredible service, the Diagnostic Imaging Department has extended our MRI/CT/X-ray coverage from 8:00am – 8:00pm Monday through Friday with Saturday appointments available upon request. One Call Scheduling makes scheduling your appointment even easier. Simply call 863-419-2270 and we’ll take care of everything else.
Our CT scanner produces fast, multi-dimensional, detailed images of the brain, heart, spine, blood vessels, and all other body areas such as the abdomen, pelvis and joints. Contrast media can be used to further enhance images.
At Heart of Florida we’ve made imaging tests more comfortable and pleasant. We’ve added extra-comfort touches, such as a larger opening MRI scanner, softer lighting and music. Our 1.5 Tesla strength magnet is one of the most powerful and sensitive tools, but a painless exam that creates high quality thin-section images of any part of the body, including the arteries and veins, from any angle and direction, without surgical invasion and in a relatively short period of time.
The images are sent to computer work stations within the medical center for viewing by our radiologists and can be sent to your physicians office for viewing.
For those who have difficulties completing an MRI, we offer sedation on specific days. Please talk with us about this service and availability.
Nuclear Medicine is unique because it shows how the organs and tissues are functioning. Our modern dual head camera is used for precise whole body and cardiac imaging. Exams are reviewed by our radiologists and/or cardiologists daily.
Ultrasound technology utilizes high frequency sound waves to obtain images of internal structures within the body. Although the exam is most commonly associated with fetal imaging during pregnancy, ultrasound is used for a variety of purposes, including vascular and breast imaging.
We use the latest digital equipment to produce your x-ray exams. Digital capability results in you spending less time at the facility and the ability to store and make compact discs (CD) for your physician’s review.
We’ve taken the routine out of routine care by making our women’s services even better. We’ve added a new designated warm and inviting waiting area, plush robes and soothing amenities. We offer the ability to get both your mammogram and bone density screenings during the same visit, with the low wait times you’ve come to expect.
We also offer Stereotactic Breast biopsies, which involve the use of a needle, rather than a large incision, to biopsy suspicious lesions in the breast.
We provide bone densitometry which uses x-rays to measure how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a segment of bone. Doctors use this test to determine if you have, or are at risk of osteoporosis.
