RADIOLOGY

 
Breckinridge Memorial's Radiology Department is considered one of the areas leading facilities for quality service, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment which help produce quick and accurate results.

Our X-Ray department services all of Breckinridge County and parts of the surrounding counties.
Every technologist is ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists) certified, with each technologist specializing in at least one separate modality (i.e. Mammography, CAT Scan, Ultrasound, MRI or Diagnostic Radiology).

We have recently installed a new digital x-ray room, which not only provides higher quality examinations, but also helps reduce radiation exposure to the patient. Naturally, the higher quality the examination is, the more likely the physician will be able to diagnose a problem.

Every examination that is performed at our department is then interpreted by a radiologist. Our radiologist staff is comprised of one neuroradiologist and two general radiologists and are board certified through the ACR (American College of Radiology), they are here to ensure that our patients receive best possible care.

If your physician feels that you need to have an x-ray, request to be sent to Breckinridge Memorial's x-ray department
