Gynecologists

• Gynecology
  Ultrasound is an excellent non-invasive method for examining organs such as the gallbladder, kidneys, spleen, liver and pancreas. It may also be used to evaluate major blood vessels such as the aorta or the blood vessels to an organ. Ultrasound is utilized extensively in abdominal and pelvic imaging including obstetrics/gynecology. Venous, carotid and extremity vascular studies are also routinely performed by our registered diagnostic medical sonographers with advanced vascular certification.

The tip of the endoscopy tube can be equipped with medical tools to take cells or tissue samples, stop bleeding and perform other medical procedures.

• MRI

The exam generates images that assist the physician in making the best diagnosis possible, sometimes eliminating the need for biopsy or surgery.
• Radiology

BCMH has committed to investing in imaging equipment and radiologic technologists so we can provide a full range of imaging services for our community.
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  A nuclear medicine scan is another tool physicians use to look inside the body. It provides an image that evaluates organ function and locates disease or tumors. The primary purpose of a nuclear medicine scan is to show the function of the organ or tissue being evaluated to determine if the organ is working properly. A nuclear medicine scan can also show the size, shape and position of the organ being scanned.
• Mammography
  Breast health is an ongoing concern at Bates County Memorial Hospital. The hospital has been a leader in the advancement of mammographic technique with the purchase of the Hologic Selenia Dimensions 3D Mammography unit. We also utilize Computer-Aided Detection (CAD), a computer generated program that provides a second look after the radiologist performs an initial assessment. The use of these technologies enables us to diagnose very small cancers at the earliest stages.
• Computed Tomography
  A CT, sometimes called a CAT scan, is one of the most useful diagnostic examinations available and allows for the visualization of organs, bones and blood vessels. It is especially useful because it can show several types of tissue – lung, bone, soft tissue and blood vessels. A rotating X-ray device and advanced computer create detailed cross-sectional images of regional anatomy. Radiologists can examine the body one slice at a time. This makes it possible to diagnose cancers, heart disease, infection, trauma, and muscle or bone disorders. Most CT scans are performed as outpatient procedures. The scanner looks like a large donut with a narrow table in the middle. Once the exam begins, the table moves slowly into the round opening of the CT scanner.
