Precision Imaging Procedures

Today, imaging exams play a major role in the screenings and preventative programs for women’s healthcare. Precision Imaging Centers offers the most comprehensive imaging for breast studies for the early detection of breast disease – at the time any medical condition is the easiest to treat. Our imaging centers use state-of-the-art imaging technology, board-certified radiologists and qualified sub-specialists to provide the best breast, obstetrics, gynecology and cardiac imaging exams. Precision Imaging Centers never wants our patients to worry unnecessarily. That is why our staff is dedicated to getting imaging results to you and your doctor in a timely manner (usually within 4 hours).

The American Cancer Society and American College of Radiology recommend screening breast exams using MRI for all women in a high-risk group. Recent estimates suggest that 20% of all heart disease in women goes undiagnosed. Precision Imaging Centers also provides screening and diagnostic imaging exams using Full Field Digital Mammography for increased accuracy. Our MRI is also useful in breast cancer staging, treatment planning and post-treatment follow up. Since more post-menopausal women die of cardiac disease than breast cancer, we recommend you discuss your risks with your physician and consider our women’s cardiac health initiatives.

Our Cardiac CTA is the screening and diagnostic standard of cardiac care that was recently recommended on national television during medical segments on Oprahand Good Morning America. Precision Imaging Centers uses the combined diagnostic results from a Cardiac CT Angiography, a cardiac MRI and PET/CT scans to provide the most comprehensive cardiac examination available anywhere. We rank alongside our Nation’s leading hospitals in examining the extent of coronary artery disease and the resulting heart function. Our cardiac MRI provides an assessment of heart muscle viability, cardiac function and stress/rest blood flow. Once the images of the PET/CT scan are added to the mix, your physician will receive our board-certified radiologist’s evaluation of cardiac function, viability and perfusion.

Precision Imaging Centers offers a non-invasive method of screening the colon for polyps and other lesions. Your preparation for the procedure is much milder than what is required for a traditional optical colonoscopy. Additionally, using CAT scans is essentially risk free. Virtual colonoscopy has been endorsed by the American Cancer Society, the American College of Radiology and several other gastroenterological societies. If your doctor has suggested that it is time for your colonoscopy, you need to consider the advantages of a virtual colonoscopy using CT imaging for screening procedure. Other abdominal and gastrointestinal imaging exams including ultrasound, MRI, PET scan or Digital Radiology can be used to obtain additional information to support the results of your virtual colonoscopy.

Digital 4-D Ultrasound is the revolutionary process that is allowing expectant moms to literally watch videos produced from high-resolution visualizations of their baby in the womb. Since ultrasound technology does not use ionizing radiation, the ultrasound imaging process is virtually risk free. The reflection of sound waves off internal anatomic structures allows the digital data to be interpreted as multi-dimensional images of soft tissue or internal organs. Based on your particular needs, your obstetrician can choose from a broad range of imaging procedures including Digital X-ray, PET/CT scans, MRI or CAT scans for diagnostic support or routine monitoring during your pregnancy.

We have the most advanced technology available to diagnose, stage and assist in treatment planning for diseases of the brain and spine. Our 64 Slice PET/CT imaging provides the most comprehensive imaging studies of the brain and spinal cord with more accurate diagnostic results than were previously available. We also use a 16-channel, 3 Tesla MRI for virtually risk-free results. Whether your doctor chooses a PET/CT scan, a MRI or a traditional CAT scan, Precision Imaging Centers specializes in imaging exams for the early detection and ongoing monitoring of a stroke, brain tumor, Multiple Sclerosis, seizure disorders, Parkinson’s disease, spinal pain and some forms of mental illness. If you are recovering from head, neck or back injury, our staff will work with your physician and orthopedist to provide post-trauma image screening for monitoring your progress.

Precision Imaging Centers offers tailored comprehensive screening examinations in conjunction with your physician. Each of our advanced imaging studies is based on the individual’s unique healthcare information and family history. Since we have the latest imaging technologies, the best radiologists and the most qualified staff in Jacksonville, the results of your screenings will provide you and your doctors with more definitive results. In most cases, Precision Imaging Centers can save you up to 50% when compared to hospital prices for imaging. Tell your physician that you don’t have to settle for the generic screening exams to get the best prices on MRI, CAT scans, PET/CT scans or Digital Ultrasound imaging studies.

The National Osteoporosis Foundation estimates that over 44 million Americans are affected by the loss of bone mass, a medical condition known as osteoporosis. Many family physicians and orthopedics recommend individuals with high risk factors monitor his or her loss of bone density and take the appropriate precautions to reduce their risk of accidental injury. Precision Imaging Centers uses Bone Densitometry exams to accurately measure your body’s decline in bone mass. Since women are four times more likely to suffer from osteoporosis, we can include bone density screenings as part of your women’s healthcare initiative. Men with low testosterone levels or who have had certain illnesses are also at higher risks for bone loss and should discuss using bone densitometry to monitor their health condition during aging.
