If you need imaging services, it's good to know you don’t have far to travel. Marshall Medical offers some of the most advanced imaging systems available. Peace of mind is what most imaging patients are looking for. At Marshall Medical Centers, we strive to ensure your needs are met not only with the latest in digital imaging technology, but by staff that understands and cares about your health concerns.

Time is of the essence with many tests. Patients may be scheduled the same day the need for imaging services is determined. Three convenient locations in Marshall County eliminate the need for you to travel to Gadsden, Huntsville or Birmingham. After your exam or scan, the images are sent electronically to the radiologist via our PACS system, allowing their findings to be sent to your physician quickly, often within hours.

Marshall Medical offers:

Open MRI

Great for claustrophobic or obese patients.

High Field Strength MRI

Used for scans of any type, but is clearly the scanner of choice for advanced MRI imaging such as breast MRI, perfusion imaging and cardiac imaging in which high field strength is a must.

PET/CT

Most often used to diagnose or stage cancer, this scanner eliminates the need for separate PET and CT scans. Both tests are done at the same time, reducing test time and inconvenience. The dual imaging capability of multi-slice PET and CT allows for improved imaging accuracy which gives the radiologist more overall information of your anatomy. This high volume of dual imaging provides more confidence in the overall findings of each case, thus giving you peace of mind that the radiologist is clearly seeing small tumors that may be present.

CT

CT is the fastest growing and constantly changing imaging modality in the world of medicine. Our multi-slice CT scanners have dramatically changed the length of the scan time as well as the volume and quality of the images that are produced. Many of our scans produce image slices which are only 1 millimeter apart. Due to the breakthrough of multi-slice CT, there are many applications that are being routinely used which were unheard of in our area just five years ago. While there are many new and exciting imaging applications that our scanners are capable of performing, virtual colonoscopy currently leads the pack of "wow" CT imaging procedures. This revolutionary technology is a complement to conventional colonoscopy that features an end result series of thinly sliced images that can be viewed on a computer in a way that allows the radiologist to "fly through" the colon forward or backward and view the colon in a 3-D perspective in a 360° radius.

Other testing

includes X-ray, Ultrasound, Fluoroscopy, Nuclear Medicine, Mammography, Bone Density and Cath Lab.

Who interprets the results and how do I get them?

An experienced, board certified radiologist will interpret your exam by analyzing the images. The radiologist will then send a signed report to your referring physician who will discuss the results with you. Most reports are available to your physician within 24 hours and often within the same day of your exam.
