 - Diagnostic Imaging (Radiology/X-ray)

Diagnostic Imaging is an area that utilizes x-ray and imaging equipment to examine the body to determine the location and nature of an illness. Diagnostic Imaging procedures may also be used throughout a treatment program to measure the effectiveness of the treatment. Typically, these procedures are used as part of the treatment plan from oncology, pulmonary, trauma, and muscular-skeletal (orthopedic) specialists.

The
Brookville Hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging department provides a wide range of services, including:

general radiology
special procedures such as angiography, biopsy, and drainages
fluoroscopy
mammography, including needle localizations
CT scans
Ultrasound
MRI
MRA
Nuclear Medicine
Litotripsy
CT Angiograms
CT Colonscopy
Cardiac Scoring

Caring for the Community
The Diagnostic Imaging staff works in conjunction with the physicians to provide free community breast cancer screenings. This annual event includes patient education, a breast exam by a physician, and a screening mammogram (at a low cost).


For questions or appointments, call Central Scheduling at (814) 849-1870. Scheduling opportunities vary with the type of procedure required.

Physicians
A radiologist is on-site at Brookville Hospital for consultation and interpretation of diagnostic imaging examinations performed at Brookville Hospital and its subsidiaries. In addition, a radiologist is on-call after normal business hours to review films via teleradiology and perform special procedure examinations.

Staff

All technologists are registered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
Mammography technologists have been mammography certified by AART.
Many technologists carry an extra level of credentialing in their area of expertise.
Ultrasound technologists are registered by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS).
All technologists meet the continuing education requirement set by the ARRT and ARDMS in order to maintain licensure.

Facility
To best serve the diverse needs of our patients, the department includes a collection of high-tech equipment. This state-of-the-art equipment provides advanced imaging and enhanced patient comfort. Because most equipment produces ionizing radiation, protective devices and protective measures are utilized to ensure safety for staff, patients, and all visitors to the department.
