The Casa Colina Diagnostic Imaging Center is accredited by the American
College of Radiology for Mammography, Ultrasound, CT, MRI, and Nuclear
Medicine. All imaging technologists are fully certified and an on-site
radiologist supervises all work. The center is located on the campus of
Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare.
The center offers a variety of routine, screening and specialized tests
and procedures to help referring primary care physicians and specialists
diagnose and treat patients. Feel free to contact us to inquire about
a specific study. A partial list of popular exams includes:

Our modern facility relies on state-of-the-art technology and equipment
to provide accurate results:
Nuclear Medicine Imaging- Siemens Symbia Evo Excel SPECT
The Casa Colina Diagnostic Imaging Center is pleased to offer state-of-the-art
nuclear medicine studies. Unlike conventional SPECT systems, our Siemens
Symbia Evo Excel SPECT system can accommodate patients in gurneys, hospital
beds and patients weighing up to 500 lbs. In addition, the shorter tunnel
length and larger bore make scans more comfortable for claustrophobic patients.
Providing unique information that often cannot be obtained using other
imaging methods, nuclear medicine offers the potential to identify disease
in its earliest stages. A radiotracer is injected or swallowed, giving
off energy in the form of gamma rays as it travels through the area of
interest. Gamma rays are detected by a special camera and a computer to
create images that will be interpreted by the radiologist.
