InnerVision's Unique Services
InnerVision Advanced Medical Imaging Center is committed to providing the highest level of quality and service to our patients and referring physicians. Our state-of-the-art center has equipment with unique features that are often only found in academic centers and teaching hospitals.
Some of these include:
- Multi-Slice CT Scanner
- High Field Strength MRI Scanner
- 3-D Ultrasound Machine
- State-of-the-art Two-Headed Nuclear Medicine Camera
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanner
- PACS Interpretation System
- The InnerVision Difference
The first Multi-slice CT scanner in the area
Multi-slice CT represents the next generation in CT technology and allows exams to be completed up to 8 times faster than even the most recent CT scanners
Faster scan times mean fewer and shorter periods of holding your breath
The speed of Multi-slice can "freeze" heart motion allowing us to evaluate for coronary artery calcification (HeartVision Scan). This can determine if you are at high risk for heart disease or a heart attack, even if you have no symptoms
High Field Strength MRI Scanner
High-speed, maximum strength magnet used in clinical medicine (1.5T) produces images rapidly, providing an easier, quicker exam for patients
High field strength magnet produces more detailed images
Open short-bore design accommodates patients of all sizes more comfortably
State-of-the-art 3-D capability generates images that enable us to better characterize abnormalities, particularly when looking at babies in the uterus
Extended field-of-view capabilities let us look at larger areas at one time
Advanced vascular capabilities let us image blockages in arteries and veins
State-of-the-Art Two-Headed Nuclear Medicine Camera
Two-headed camera means much shorter exam times than single headed cameras
Open camera design eases anxiety in claustrophobic patients
Two-headed camera design allows it to get closer to the patient producing more detail in the images that are produced
Our system uses powerful computer software to obtain the greatest amount of information from any given exam
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanner
InnerVision PET center was one of the first fixed PET cameras in state of Indiana.
PET scanners are usually found only at research or academic hospitals
Molecular imaging can evaluate the presence and spread of cancer often not seen on other tests. This allows for earlier diagnosis, better evaluation of spread of cancer and better evaluation of the response to treatment
Results from a PET scan may prevent the necessity for a biopsy or surgery
At InnerVision we have adopted a PACS (picture archiving computer system) for image interpretation. Our filmless system enables immediate availability of images so that our radiologists can begin to evaluate your images and provide a timely report to your doctor.
Our PACS system will also allow for the secure transmission of important images to your doctor's computer, allowing him or her to view them directly and consult with our radiologists about the findings.
