New Services: Franklin Medical Center Announces MRI Services
Franklin Medical Center and Alliance Imaging, Inc. announce the addition of
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) services, which will allow the facility to
service the community with expanded radiology services and capability.
This service will allow patients to undergo this imaging procedure within the
community. The addition of this imaging modality compliments and greatly
extends the range of high quality diagnostic services already available to the
community and its residents.
Things to Know
 | CT Scan: are able to detect some conditions that regular X-rays
cannot and are relatively safe and painless. Head Scans may detect or rule
out: tumors, blood clots, enlarged ventricles, and other disorders. Body Scans
are important in diagnosing: enlarged lymph nodes, back problems, pancreatic
disease, and lung cancer. |
| Ultrasound: is an effective and safe way for doctors to determine
what's going on inside the body. Ultrasounds are not only for determining the
health and development of an unborn baby, but also extend into other areas of
medicine, such as heart, kidneys and bladder. |
| Nuclear Medicine: is especially useful in the diagnosis of
abnormalities of the bone, gallbladder, heart, liver or thyroid. Most common
types of scans: bone, biliary tract/gallbladder, liver, lung and thyroid. |
| MRI: is a diagnostic imaging technology that provides detailed
pictures of the body without ionizing radiation. During this procedure,
the patient is placed within a large magnet and radio waves are passed through
the body, providing information about that part of the body to the computer
which displays the image. Computer-generated images clearly show healthy
and diseased tissue in the brain, spine, joints, and many other parts of the
body. |
