Computed Tomography (CT): highly specialized test that combines x-rays and computer systems to produce multiple diagnostic images.

Nuclear Medicine Scan: test using a special camera to create pictures of your organs (such as your heart, lungs, liver and gallbladder) and bones.

Ultrasound: 4D ultrasound technology that helps detect organ problems, such as gallstones, kidney stones or liver disease; imaging blood vessels; specific areas of abnormalities, and images of an unborn baby.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): highly specialized test that lets your doctor see detailed pictures of the inside of your body.

Mammography: x-ray exam of your breast tissue that detects problems with your breasts, such as cysts, lumps or possibly cancer. Witham offers the latest in technology with our digital mammography units. We also use computer-aided detection technology that processes and compares the images to a database of known pathology for a "second look" opportunity for the radiologist. Additionally, we provide follow-up imaging including diagnostic mammograms, as well as other diagnostic procedures including standard, ultrasound-guided and stereotactic biopsies.

Witham's highly-specialized radiologists also conduct several interventional radiology procedures. These procedures allow us to use a specialized approach to achieve a unique diagnosis to improve your health outcome.

Those procedures include:
