Imaging Services We Offer

• General X-ray and Fluoroscopy: The first imaging machine of its kind in California, delivering real-time, full-body moving images that help physicians visualize, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions.
• CT Scans: Cross-sectional images of organs, bones, and soft tissue used to find injuries, tumors, or internal bleeding in minutes.
• MRI: Detailed pictures of the brain, spine, joints, and muscles, captured with magnets instead of radiation.
• Ultrasound: Sound wave imaging used to check organs, blood flow, and pregnancy without any radiation exposure.
• Mammography: Breast imaging used to find changes at their earliest, most treatable stage. Be sure to check with your technologist about specific requirements.

Every image is captured by ARRT-certified technologists licensed in California and reviewed by board-certified radiologists, some with added fellowship training in body, musculoskeletal, and interventional imaging. You get a specialist's read on every scan, not a general one.

What to Expect During Your Imaging Exam

A little planning makes your visit easier, and knowing what is normal along the way helps you feel more at ease.

• Preparation: Our team will let you know in advance if you need to fast, drink water, or pause any medications.
• Exam Duration: Most exams take between fifteen minutes and an hour.
• Contrast Use: Some scans use a contrast dye to make certain tissue easier to see, and our team will explain what to expect before you begin.
• Comfort: Our team positions you gently and adjusts equipment to support patients with limited mobility, so you feel as comfortable as possible throughout your exam.
• Safety: Our equipment uses low-dose technology across CT, X-ray, and mammography. Tell your Care Team if you are pregnant or have metal implants, since this affects which type of imaging is safest for you.

Once your exam is done, your images move straight into your medical record so your doctor can review, discuss, and act on your results fast.

Digital X-Ray and Fluoroscopy at Mee Memorial Healthcare System

X-ray has been used for more than a century and remains one of the most trusted, commonly performed forms of medical imaging today. Mee Memorial Healthcare System features the FUJIFILM Persona RF Premium+ digital X-ray and fluoroscopy system, built for clear images with lower radiation exposure than older X-ray equipment. Our machine is the first of its kind in California, creating high-quality, real-time moving images with patient comfort at its core.

The system captures both digital X-rays and live fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray imaging) in one convenient visit. Real-time imaging helps your provider accurately guide certain procedures, such as fracture repair or joint injections, while watching in real time. Because the system combines X-ray and fluoroscopy in a single machine and rarely requires a repeat scan, many patients get everything done in a single visit.

Our exam table supports patients up to 716 pounds when still and up to 584 pounds when moving, and is designed for patients with limited mobility. Smooth, motorized positioning means less shifting around and less stress during your exam.

Why Would My Doctor Order an X-Ray?

X-ray covers concerns ranging from a fall in the field to a cough that will not go away.

Bone and joint X-rays help your doctor:

• Diagnose a broken bone or joint dislocation
• Check for arthritis or osteoporosis
• Find tumors, certain bone cancers, or foreign objects
• Monitor how a fracture is healing
• Check for fluid buildup around a joint

Chest X-rays help your doctor:

• Look into shortness of breath, a persistent cough, chest pain, or fever
• Diagnose or monitor pneumonia, heart failure, emphysema, or lung cancer
