What Radiology & Imaging Is Used For

Radiology helps your clinician see what’s happening inside the body to diagnose, treat, and monitor conditions. Imaging may be used for symptoms, injuries, chronic conditions, preventative screening, or follow-up after a procedure.

Common reasons patients are referred for imaging include:

• Back, neck, joint, or knee pain
• Fractures, sprains, strains, and sports injuries
• Arthritis and joint abnormalities
• Circulation concerns, swelling, or blood-flow issues
• Infections (for example, suspected pneumonia or soft-tissue infection)
• Internal bleeding or trauma evaluation
• Stroke-like symptoms or head injuries (urgent evaluation pathway)
• Tumors or abnormal growths (diagnostic workup and monitoring)
• Pelvic pain and menstrual irregularities
• Pregnancy-related imaging (as clinically appropriate)
• Guidance for procedures like injections or biopsies (when ordered)

In many cases, imaging is also used to track recovery and confirm whether a treatment plan is working as expected.

Comprehensive Radiology Services at Medex DTC

Medex offers diagnostic imaging services to support both new diagnoses and ongoing monitoring. Common imaging services include:

X-Ray (Radiography)

X-rays are often used to evaluate bone injuries, fractures, arthritis, chest concerns, and certain urgent symptoms. X-ray exams are typically quick and may be performed the same day depending on availability.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves to evaluate soft tissues and organs. It is commonly used for abdominal concerns, pelvic symptoms, vascular issues, and other diagnostic needs as ordered by your clinician.

Vascular / Cardiovascular Imaging (as ordered)

Vascular imaging helps assess circulation and blood-flow concerns, including evaluation for clots, blockages, or other vascular conditions—based on your doctor’s exam and medical history.
