Radiology / Imaging

Witham Health Services radiology and imaging services allow residents of Boone County and nearby areas to have tests performed close to home, at a place that is familiar and comfortable. And with the latest radiologic technology and a group of trained radiologists - including those with subspecialties such as neurological or pediatrics - Witham is able to provide the full range of diagnostic and interventional radiology.

Our radiology team also understands that you don't want to wait long to receive results. For the majority of tests, we're able to put them in your doctor's hands within one to two business days. More specialized tests may take an additional day or two. The fast turnaround ensures that your doctor has all relevant data to make important decisions about your care.

Types of services 
Our top-quality staff, equipment and protocols ensure a safe and highly-detailed study is produced. With the latest in state-of-the-art technology for CTs, MRIs, US, NM and Digital Mammography, we can conduct studies and provide images that address even the smallest areas of concern. Below are the primary radiology services we offer:

  • Diagnostic Radiology
    • Computed Tomography (CT): CT imaging utilizes special radiology equipment to produce multiple images in order to produce multi-dimensional views. Our advanced 256 slice technology enables faster and more detailed images when compared to more conventional scanners. This allows Witham the ability to offer more advanced procedures, such as Heart Score, CT angiography (CTA), Cardiac CT and Virtual colonoscopy.
  • Nuclear Medicine Scan: Nuclear medicine exams use small amounts of radioactive tracers, cameras and computers to diagnose various cancers, heart diseases and other metabolic organ functions. For example: Planar and/or SPECT imaging of brain, bone, liver, gallbladder, stomach and kidneys; nuclear cardiology procedures, diagnostic procedures for thyroid disease.
  • Ultrasound: Ultrasound uses sound waves to develop detailed images of organs such as the liver, gallbladder, thyroid, and kidney, among others. Our 4D ultrasound technology allows detailed images of the unborn baby.  Furthermore, many biopsies are performed using ultrasound such as the breast and liver. 
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone and virtually all other internal body structures. 

    We recently installed a brand new wide bore MRI at our Whitestown at Anson location. The new state-of-the-art MAGNETOM Altea 1.5T MRI is uniquely designed to deliver the best of both worlds: exceptional image quality for physicians and a comfortable experience for patients. It enables us to deliver precise, personalized exams for all our patients with much faster scan times. 
     

    The main campus features Toshiba's Vantage Titan MRI. The MRI and it's room layout is designed to create a relaxed and patient friendly environment. Some of the features include: Greater patient comfort by having a wider opening, a less intimidating look by having an ultra short machine, and 90% reduction in acoustic noise which is the best industry standard. The room layout features a skylight, curved glass windows overlooking a beautiful courtyard. 
     

     
  • Digital  3D Tomosynthesis Mammography: About 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer over their lifetime. This is why it is so important for women over the age of 40 to schedule their mammogram. Witham offers many comprehensive breast services, including breast ultrasound and stereotactic breast biopsy to win the fight against breast disease. Furthermore, our Women's Center is a designated Breast Imaging Center of Excellence; meaning our quality exceeds the rigorous standards set forth by the American College of Radiology.
  • Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT): Fuses the function imagine of PET with the anatomical imaging of CT to produce images that that show physicians information like metabolic uptake, metastasis, cancer staging, and tumor response to chemotherapy, among others. It involves injecting a radionuclide tracer into a patient's body. The radionuclide highlights abnormal areas of the body to aid the physician in diagnosis.
  • Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), also referred to as bone density, is a machine used to measure bone mineral density. A DEXA scan is typically used to diagnose osteoporosis; however, it can also evaluate total body composition and fat content. It is recommended that women over the age of 65 received a DEXA scan biannually to evaluate the risk of osteoporosis.

Witham is proud to offer digital breast tomosynthesis, or 3D mammography, to our patients. 3D mammography is a FDA approved screening and diagnostic tool designed to detect breast cancer. 3D mammograms work by imaging the breast by layer to more accurately find abnormalities. This allows physicians to detect breast cancers more precisely and reduce follow up testing. In fact, 3D mammography finds 40% more breast cancers and reduces the callback rate by 40%. Ideal candidates for 3D mammography are women who have dense breast tissue, or those who are getting their mammograms for the first time. To learn more about 3D mammography, click the link below.

Interventional Radiology 
Witham's highly-specialized radiologists also conduct several interventional radiology procedures. These procedures allow us to use a specialized approach to achieve a unique diagnosis to improve your health outcome.
