Radiology (MRI)
The Stone County Hospital Radiology Department is a state-of-the-art diagnostic radiographic center that offers many radiology procedures for inpatient, outpatient, and critical need situations such as emergency room visits. Radiographic procedures, commonly known as X-Rays, are diagnostic procedures used to detect medical problems with patients. Procedures available at Stone County Hospital Radiology Department include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Diagnostic x-rays
- CT scans
- MRI
- MRA
- Vascular CT scans
- Ultrasounds
- Echocardiograms
- Vascular ultrasounds
- In addition, the department is fortunate to have a multi-slice state-of-the-art CT scanner available 24/7. The CT scanner can detect pathologies and view anatomic structures with unprecedented detail. The scanner offers multiple images for diagnosis, surgical planning, patient treatment, follow-up, and post-operative examination purposes. The speed of the system and fast acquisition time allow many studies to be performed in a single breath hold.
The Radiology Department also offers the flexibility for patients to take their radiology images with them to other referral centers or to specialist physicians. Patients can have their radiology exams scanned onto a portable compact disc if needed.
