Through our network of conveniently located Women's Health Centers
and outpatient imaging centers, Mount Carmel
offers the following diagnostic ultrasound services especially for women.
Breast
Ultrasound
Mount Carmel technicians use painless breast
ultrasound to identify and assess cystic or solid masses in the breast. With a
physician referral, we offer full-service breast ultrasound services in the
comfortable environment of one of our Women's Health Centers.
Bone Density Testing
Mount
Carmel
offers both ultrasound and dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA scan) to measure
bone density and aid in the early diagnosis of osteoporosis. The ultrasound
measures bone density at the heel using sound waves rather than radiation and
can identify those who are good candidates for a Dexa scan. The DEXA scan is an
accurate, painless and noninvasive test to diagnose bone loss and is valuable
in helping patients prevent or treat osteoporosis and reduce their risk of
fracture.
Pelvic Ultrasound
For patients who are experiencing pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or other menstrual
problems, our ultrasound technicians can utilize a painless pelvic ultrasound
to identify and assess things like cysts and fibroid growths, as well as
ovarian or uterine cancers. With a physician referral, Mount Carmel makes full-service pelvic
ultrasound services available at our convenient outpatient imaging centers.
