• Primary Care
  Premier Diagnostic Imaging is a freestanding medical imaging facility with medical and diagnostic exam services offering state-of-the-art medical screening and diagnostic examinations at a low cost. After your examination, one of our radiologists will analyze your images and send a signed report with his interpretation to your primary care physician. Your physician’s office will inform you of your results, and you may also log in to our patient portal to access the report and images from your examination. Select the specific medical and diagnostic exam services you need below to learn more about how to prepare and what to expect during an examination.
• Family Practice
  If you have a close family member with a chronic disease, such as heart disease, diabetes or cancer, you may be more likely to develop that disease too. Sharing your family health history is a meaningful way to protect your health.
• Emergency Care
  Looking at why youth athletes end up in the emergency room, football injuries top the list. Football accounts for over 14% of youth athletic injuries, followed by basketball (12.5%) and bicycling (9.9%).
• Colonoscopy
  Staying up to date with your screening tests can also help you stay healthier. If your family history includes diabetes, get screened. Schedule your mammogram and get that colonoscopy!
• Pneumonia

Internists

• Internal Medicine
• Cervical Cancer
  If you have worries about going back to your doctor in person, try telemedicine (a video chat with your doctor). During a telehealth visit — most run 15 to 20 minutes — you can talk about any changes and your concerns over the last year. From there, your doctor might order blood work and screenings for cancer like a mammogram, colonoscopy, or prostate or cervical cancer tests.
• Prostate Cancer
• Lung Cancer
  Another specialized CT scan offered by Premier Diagnostic is the lung health scan. Lung CTs help diagnose diseases such as pneumonia, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, inflammation, or chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. It is especially effective for catching lung cancer at its earliest stage when treatments are most effective. A lung CT is especially recommended for people who smoke now or have a history of heavy smoking.

Neurologists

• Multiple Sclerosis
  Images of the brain help diagnose traumatic brain injuries, tumors, spinal cord injuries, aneurysms, strokes, or multiple sclerosis.

Psychiatrists

• Mental Health
  And though it may be difficult to talk about, include information about mental health issues like dementia and Alzheimer’s, PTSD, suicide (or attempted suicide).

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Thyroid

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Ultrasound imaging, or sonography, is a method of seeing inside the human body through the use of high-frequency sound waves. The ultrasound technologist will use a small, handheld device called a transducer. This transducer sends sound waves into the body. The sound waves bounce off of fluid, tissues, and organs at different rates. As they bounce back into the transducer, the computer measures the waves and produces an image. Ultrasound does not expose you to any radiation.
• MRI
  MRI scanners (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) use a strong magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to create detailed images of organs and other features inside your body
• Radiology
  Dr. Coonce earned his undergraduate chemistry degree from Tennessee Tech University and his medical degree from the University of Tennessee in Memphis. He completed his internship at Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga and his residency at the University of Tennessee Center for Health Sciences in Memphis. He also served as a Captain in the US Army. He joined Putnam Radiology in 1982 and is a founder of Premier Diagnostic Imaging.
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  Nuclear imaging is a diagnostic tool used to accurately visualize the flow and function of different organs of your body. Radiation levels, in most cases, are equal to or less than a routine X-ray or CT examination. Nuclear medicine examinations help a doctor determine if an organ or other tissue is healthy or damaged. The resulting images aid in disease or injury diagnosis and determining adequate treatment. Common procedures that use nuclear imaging include thyroid studies, bone scans, lung scans, gastric emptying and liver and gallbladder procedures.
• Mammography
  From personal experience, I can tell you how important yearly mammography screening is. At the age of 44, there was a small change on my mammogram from the previous year noticed by the radiologist. After further testing and a biopsy, it was confirmed to be breast cancer. But since I had one every year since age 40 for comparison, my cancer was caught early (stage 1) and my survival rate is 95%.
• Computed Tomography
  CT scans, sometimes called CAT scanning, is one of the imaging services provided by Premier Diagnostic Imaging. CT scans use special x-ray equipment to obtain images from different angles, which are then processed by a computer to show a cross-section of body tissues and organs.
• Radiation Therapy
  Your doctor might order a CT scan to produce images of specific organs, joints, or tissues inside your body. Many doctors use them to guide procedures, such as biopsies, surgeries, and radiation therapy. They are also used to create treatment plans.
• Radiation Oncology
  Many cancer clinics are reporting that new patients are showing up with more advanced cancer than those who arrived for treatment before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a national survey from the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).

Surgeons

• Orthopedics
  If your doctor gives you an order for diagnostic medical imaging, you may wonder why they prescribed an MRI or a CT scan. MRI and CT scans are some of the most common types of medical imaging performed. Both procedures provide images of the human body and are used by various medical specialties, like orthopedics and oncology.

Dermatologists

  . He is the author of several medical publications on topics ranging from tumors, lesions, organ tissue, and blood flow. He received his Bachelor of Science from

Physical Therapists

• Physical Therapy
  Epidural steroid injections to provide relief from back pain, allowing your spinal condition to improve with physical therapy and exercise.

Podiatrists

• Ankle Sprain
  We evaluate our local athletes for shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle injuries, among others. The most common sports-related injuries we see are knee ligament and meniscus injuries, as well as ankle sprains.
