- UltrasoundUltrasound uses high-frequency sound waves that are converted into diagnostic information using a hand-held transducer passed over an imaged area. The resulting ultrasound is the reflection of the sound waves as they collide with the anatomy being studied.
- MRIMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is considered one of the greatest medical breakthroughs since the discovery of x-rays in 1895. In use since the early 1980’s MRI systems use a combination of advanced magnets and radio wave technology to produce images of the human body with the clarity of anatomical textbook illustrations. MRI is extensively used in studying the brain and spine as well as the body and the musculoskeletal system. MRIs are also used to image blood vessels providing insight into the chemical components of selected tissue.
- RadiologyCentral Imaging of Arlington was also one of the first free standing imaging centers in north Texas to receive full practice accreditation by Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations. Our Medical Director is a Fellow of American College of Radiology which is an honor bestowed on only a small percentage of Diagnostic Radiologists. We were accredited by American Academy of Pain Management for 20 years. Our practice has been accredited since 1997.

- Nuclear MedicineNuclear medicine addresses the body’s physiological processes rather than the anatomical structure. In nuclear imaging, short-lived radioactive drugs that emit gamma rays (radiopharmaceuticals) are injected into a patient’s bloodstream and are attracted to the particular organ being analyzed. A nuclear camera then takes a time-exposure image of the pharmaceutical as it enters the bloodstream and concentrates in the tissues or organs. A nuclear physician then is able to trace the blood flow activity and analyze information about the biological activity of the organ and its related vascular system.
- Computed TomographyComputed Tomography, or CT Scanning, allows our radiologists to view thin cross-sections of the internal anatomy using the latest in spiral scanning techniques. Spiral, also called Helical CT, combines x-rays and sophisticated computers to produce detailed images of the brain, spine, chest abdomen and pelvis. The presence and extent of disease and the effects of certain traumatic events can thus be identified. CT scanning is also helpful in the evaluation of certain musculoskeletal disorders.
- Radiation TherapyThe result is an effective balance of resolution, coverage, speed and dose for diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy simulation at its best.
