The Future Vision Today

Thanks to advances in diagnostic imaging, physicians can gather amazingly detailed pictures inside the human body. A wide range of diagnostic imaging services are available at NorthBay Medical Center and VacaValley Hospital and Solano Diagnostics Imaging, from simple X-rays to the latest nuclear medicine technology.

X-ray – Our diagnostic imaging departments are equipped with the best in X-ray technology and can help physicians detect broken bones, trace kidney function, diagnose lung disorders, examine the intestinal tract and other internal body systems.

Ultrasound – Ultrasound creates sound waves that bounce off internal organs and echo back to a computer, which then translates the information into a video image. The ultrasound department has the latest technology and specially trained and licensed staff.

Computerized Axial Tomography (CT) – The CT scanners at NorthBay Medical Center and VacaValley Hospital can depict bone structures in fine detail and show differences between normal and abnormal tissue in the brain, lungs and other organs.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) – MRI uses an electromagnet to create a magnetic field that allows physicians to look at body layers as thin as 1/16^th of an inch, without even breaking the patient’s skin.

Nuclear Medicine – Safe doses of radioactive materials can be used to diagnose and treat a number of complex ailments. One of the newest pieces of nuclear medicine technology, SPECT Cameras, are available at both NorthBay Medical Center and VacaValley Hospital. These computer-controlled instruments allow the physician to visualize as much as 10 times more detail than available through other nuclear medicine procedures.
