We know that the road to recovery starts with the right diagnosis. That’s why we provide state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic services within our diagnostic imaging department. We’ve invested in the latest technologies, giving you an accurate and timely diagnosis right here in Bangor.

This advanced technology is only strengthened by our knowledgeable technologists and staff who perform diagnostic testing with personal care and attention. They take the time to explain each procedure, so you’ll know what to anticipate every step of the way.

A specialized test, called bone mineral density test, measures the density of bone in various parts of the body. The test used to measure bone density is known as the Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA). This test measures the bone mineral density of the spine and hip. Once you have your test, your results are sent to your physician for review.

At St. Joseph Healthcare, our patients have access to Computed Tomography or CT scans. A CT scan is a non-invasive diagnostic test that can be used to visualize nearly all parts of the body and diagnose disease or injury. It’s also helpful to plan for medical or surgical treatment as it is much more detailed than an X-ray.

Think you might have a broken bone? With a provider order, you can walk into X-ray services. An X-ray machine produces a small burst of radiation that passes through the body, recording an image on a special digital image recording plate. This allows us to diagnose your injury or illness quickly and accurately.
