CT Scan
Oakdale Community Hospital utilizes a Hi-Speed Spiral CT LXI scanner. This technology allows for 3D image reconstruction which reduces radiation exposure, exam time and provides improved imaging capabilities.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI is a painless way to look inside your body without requiring the use of x-rays. With a large magnet, radiowaves and a computer, your body is scanned to provide very detailed pictures of areas that cannot be viewed on conventional x-rays. MRI exams make it possible for physicians to see certain types of tissue and obtain important information about the brain, spine, joints, and internal organs.

Mammography (ACR Accredited)

Mammograms are low energy x-rays of the breast that are used to screen apparently normal breasts for cancer. Early detection of breast cancer is known to save lives. Yearly mammograms are recommended for women 40 and over, though screening schedules should be determined by your physician.
