At Swedish Cherry Hill, radiologist interpretation and support is provided by Radia physicians. Interventional radiology is supported both by Radia and a variety of neuro-radiologists and vascular surgeons. As a full service inpatient and outpatient center, we are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
While radiology services can accept orders (including Advanced MRI orders) only from a licensed provider, we would be glad to answer any questions you may have.
All Swedish imaging departments are accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) in recognition of their demonstration of and commitment to quality diagnostic imaging.
Nuclear medicine is a specialty of medical imaging that uses medications to help detect the presence of disease or injury. Nuclear medicine patients are given a radioactive compound that travels through the body to the specific area being studied. A gamma camera is used to create images that provide information about the structure and function of most organ systems in the body.
A CT scan uses x-rays and computer technology to take multiple views of the inside of the body. Compared to regular x-rays, a CT scan can take clearer images of organs, bone, soft tissue, blood vessels and other parts of the body.
An ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses inaudible high-frequency sound waves emitted through the body to create an image of your internal organs on screen.
X-rays are performed for various reasons such as, but not limited to, diagnosing bone injuries, tumors or chest infections.
MRI uses radio frequency waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide remarkably clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. MRI is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of a broad range of conditions.
