The American College of Radiology (ACR) has accredited our imaging services.

Correct diagnosis of a medical condition or disease is one of the most vital factors in medical care. Hialeah's Medical Imaging Center offers comprehensive outpatient diagnostic services,  ranging from digital mammography to MRI to X-rays.

The Staff 

A team of experienced specialists, including Radiologists, an Interventionalist, technicians and trained medical personnel staff the Center.


Technology  Working For You

The Center uses the latest technology to diagnose medical conditions, as well as store and distribute images. This includes PACS (Picture Achieving Communications System), a computer network that allows for the storage, retrieval and distribution of digital images from CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, mammogram and more.  A Radiologist can view images anywhere within the hospital or send them via Internet to another location.

Mammography remains one of the most effective ways to detect early beast cancer.  We offer screening, diagnostic and digital mammography.

Bone Density tests measure the amount of mineral in the bone and typically take about 10-20 minutes. The patient lies on a table while a low density X-ray beam scans the spine, hip or both.

Ultrasound obtains images from inside the body using high frequency sound waves that are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image. Ultrasound can be used to study the abdomen (including fetal examinations), pelvis, neck, heart, breast, prostate, and testicle.

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) uses a magnetic field to produce incredibly detailed images of the inside of the body.  MRI can be used to scan any part of the body, including the lower body, spinal column, internal organs, brain and joints.

CT Scan is an X-Ray technique that takes multiple pictures – or slices – of tissue structures that are then interpreted by a special computer. CT can perform a whole body scan or it can focus on one particular area. Areas of study include the colon, lower extremities, heart, brain, renal system, abdomen/pelvis, spine, neck/brain, uterus, chest and more.

Nuclear medicine uses very small amounts of radioactive materials or radiopharmaceuticals to detect and treat disease such as tumors, aneurysms, blood flow and blood cell disorders.  Technologies includes SPECT, cardiovascular imaging and bone scanning. 

X-rays are used to detect lesions and breaks in bones.  X-rays are also used to image the chest to detect lung cancer and identify diseases such as pneumonia and pulmonary oedema.  Abdominal film can detect ileus (blockage of the intestine), free air (in visceral perforations) and free fluid (in ascites).
