MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)*

MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create an accurate view of a patient’s organs and other structures for a doctor to interpret. Accredited by the American College of Radiology.

CT (Computerized Tomography)*

CT, also known as a CAT scan, uses x-ray technology to create images from different planes around the body and translates them into cross sections of the patient’s body tissues and organs. Accredited by ACR (American College of Radiology).

ULTRASOUND

Ultrasound reflects sound waves off a patient’s organs and other body structures, and converts echoes into images for the doctor to interpret. Gonzaba Urgent Care Center in San Antonio is fully accredited by the American College of Radiology to provide superior quality Radiology care the same technology that you find in a hospital in an outpatient setting.

VASCULAR STUDIES

Using Ultrasound technology, reflected sound waves are measured to evaluate blood flow through the major arteries and veins of a patient’s arms, legs and neck. Accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission

ECHOCARDIOGRAMS

Echocardiography (echo or echocardiograms) uses high pitched sound waves and reflections to produce images of a patient’s heart.

BONE DENSITOMETRY

Bone densitometry uses x-rays to quickly and accurately measure the density of bone to detect osteopenia or osteoporosis.

DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY

A digital detector is used to produce detailed images of the breast. Images are acquired digitally and displayed much faster than standard film mammography. Accredited by the Texas Department of State Health Services.
