University Radiology Somerset Services: Advanced Imaging for Comprehensive Healthcare
University Radiology in Somerset delivers a comprehensive suite of advanced imaging services, upholding high standards in quality and ensuring prompt review of results. These services leverage cutting-edge technology to provide detailed insights for accurate diagnoses and effective treatment planning.
Advanced Imaging Technologies
The department offers a wide array of imaging modalities, each tailored to specific diagnostic needs:
- Computed Tomography (CT): The CT machine combines X-ray and computer technology. to travel to take the tissue sample. CT scans are invaluable for visualizing internal organs, bones, soft tissue, and blood vessels.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of a large magnet, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body. The MRI creates a magnetic field around you, then pulses radio waves to the area of your body to be pictured. The radio waves cause your tissues to resonate. A computer records the rate at which your body’s various parts (tendons, ligaments, nerves) give off these vibrations, and translates the data into a detailed, two-dimensional picture. MRI, a non-invasive way to look inside of the body, does not use ionizing radiation, unlike X-rays or computed tomography (CT scans).
- Ultrasound: Our Ultrasound Department offers five state-of-the-art scanners. OB/GYN) and chest.
- X-Ray imaging: X-Ray imaging is a fundamental diagnostic tool used to visualize bones and certain soft tissues.
- Nuclear medicine: Nuclear medicine employs radioactive tracers to visualize organ function and identify abnormalities. stress test and IV non-exercise nuclear stress test.
- Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography (PET/CT) Scanning: Positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning. beyond the capabilities of traditional imaging techniques. heart, brain and other organs.
- Interventional/Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA): Our DSA unit provides digital high-resolution vascular imaging.
- Dual Energy Imaging: dual energy imaging. disease and lung diseases. one session.
Specialized Services
University Radiology in Somerset provides specialized services that cater to specific medical needs:
- Breast MRI: imaging. to augment a mammogram if needed.
- CT-Guided Lung Biopsy: The CT machine combines X-ray and computer technology. to travel to take the tissue sample.

- DaTscan: DaTscan is a nuclear medicine imaging technique used to assess dopamine transporter function in the brain.
The Role of MRI in Orthopedic Diagnosis
MRI is particularly useful in diagnosing orthopedic problems. For example, the sensitivity of MRI in diagnosing an ACL tear is about 90%. MRI is the chosen method for imaging the soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system, such as ligaments, tendons and cartilage. These structures are most commonly injured during athletic and traumatic events. MRI can be also be used for imaging the spine, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, ankle, and foot.
Commitment to Quality and Patient Experience
University Radiology is committed to delivering the highest quality images. The department prioritizes patient safety and comfort, employing advanced techniques to minimize radiation exposure and enhance the overall imaging experience.
