Quick Links
Our Imaging Services Department is 100% digital, offering a broad array of diagnostic testing from routine radiography to computed tomography, and ultrasound. Because we are all digital, we can see and share your imaging pictures with your physician as soon as they are taken via our Picture Archiving Computer System (PACS.) For those physicians not on our computer network, we can easily transfer your pictures to a CD so your doctor can see your images in his/her office. We also utilize PowerShare to send images to ordering providers across the region.
Comprehensive Imaging Services
Our Diagnostic Imaging Department provides the following services:
Radiography (X-Ray)
Digital X-rays capture high-resolution images of bones and soft tissues, including the chest, abdomen, and extremities. This versatile imaging tool is used for assessing fractures, infections, and various chest conditions, offering a rapid and effective way to visualize the internal structures of the body.
Sonography (Ultrasound)
Ultrasound imaging uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of soft tissues and organs, including the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys. It’s commonly used for abdominal and pelvic assessments, as well as obstetric care, allowing for detailed imaging and measurement of the developing fetus during pregnancy.
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
Our state-of-the-art CT scanner captures high-resolution images of the head, chest, abdomen, and extremities in mere seconds, helping physicians detect and diagnose conditions with precision. CT scans are often used in emergencies due to their speed and detailed imaging capabilities.
Cardiac Evaluations (Echocardiography and EKG)
Our echocardiography services use ultrasound to visualize the heart’s structure and function, assessing conditions like valve disorders, heart failure, and congenital abnormalities. Electrocardiograms (EKG) monitor heart rhythm, allowing physicians to diagnose arrhythmias and other heart conditions.

Expert Care and Advanced Technology
Our team includes Registered and State Licensed Technologists with advanced certifications, ensuring each examination is conducted with professionalism and expertise. After the imaging is completed, a Board Certified, Licensed Radiologist reviews your results to provide a comprehensive report for your physician. This combination of advanced imaging technology and specialized care allows Southern Inyo Hospital to offer high-quality diagnostic services tailored to each patient’s needs.
