Medical Imaging Services in Napoleon, OH

Henry County Hospital is Rated Highly for Patient Experience

Large hospitals often have advanced technology, but without the personalized care of a smaller hospital. On the other hand, smaller hospitals often have quality care, but lack some of the advanced technology found in larger hospitals. At Henry County Hospital, we aim to strike the perfect balance. Though we offer all the comforts and familiarity of a smaller, local hospital, we also offer state-of-the-art medical imaging services that can meet each patient's needs. Our staff has over 100 years of combined experience and provide a level of care that is both personable and professional.

Medical Imaging Services

We offer a wide range of services in medical imaging, including the following:

• Bone Densitometry (DEXA) Scanning - This is a screening tool for osteoporosis that uses low dose x-ray to image lumbar spine hips or wrist to measure the amount of cortical bone or bone mass that supports the human body.
• Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan - A tool that uses x-ray to create small cross-sectional images and 3D data sets so anatomy may be visualized for abnormalities in many different views.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - An imaging tool that uses a radiofrequency waves along with a strong magnetic technology to view the soft tissues of the body such as the brain, spinal cord and disc, abdominal organs and joints.
• Digital Mammography - the use of low-dose x-ray to produce images of the breast to screen for abnormalities. This service is accredited by the American College of Radiology and is certified by the FDA.
• Nuclear Medicine Scanning - requires an injection of special medication called a radioisotope to visualize the function of internal organs, or it may be used to diagnosis abnormalities in the bone by using a special camera that picks up the activity of the injected radioisotope.
• PET/CT - requires an injection of a radioisotope to look for the spread of cancer through the organs and soft tissues. The patient will be imaged with a CT scanner and then a nuclear medicine camera. The images will then be fused together to give greater detail for the radiologist interpreting the scan.
• Stereotactic Breast Biopsy - is the use of mammography technology to perform a less invasive biopsy using a specially designed needle system in order to obtain breast tissue samples, that will be further reviewed by a special doctor called a pathologist who will provide a diagnosis of the abnormality.
• Ultrasound/Vascular Ultrasound - the use of high frequency sound waves to obtain images of the abdominal and pelvic organs, OB (fetal), and small parts including the thyroid, breast, or scrotum. Vascular ultrasound is used to screen for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the extremities, and to evaluate for peripheral vascular disease in the carotid arteries of the neck or the arteries in the extremities. This service is accredited by the American College of Radiology.
