Diagnostic Imaging

AOC is very proud to have the latest technology when it comes to scanners and x-ray processes. The comfort of our patients is key, and the following equipment holds efficient and effective processes to comfortably assess patients.

“Bone Densitometer” DEXA Scanner

DEXA is an acronym for Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry. This x-ray procedure determines the strength of your bones by measuring the density. The DEXA scanner at AOC is the most complete bone assessment tool ever devised.

Trabecular Bone Score

A Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) can be used in the treatment of osteoporosis to add to bone mineral density. The Trabecular Bone Score is a an analytical tool that performs novel grey-level texture measurements on lumbar spine dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images.

High Field MRI

This Phillips magnet produces scans that are equal to images of any closed MRI currently used in the area hospitals.

Digital X-ray

Quick imaging is key to a patient’s diagnosis and treatment. We use digital technology to make information from exams available to our physicians, staff, and patients fast.

Radiology

We have an on-site radiologist, Dr. Stephen Ashe, to ensure our patients have unsurpassed comfort and care. The equipment is top-notch, but our physicians and staff make the AOC experience informative and minimally intrusive.
