The latest in imaging technology is available right here at home! You have a choice where your medical imaging services are performed, (taking into consideration your insurance). Be sure to ask your physician for the new standard in medical imaging---request Sequoia Imaging Center where your comfort, time and exam quality are top priority.
Uncompromised professional imaging standards rely on state-of-the-art equipment and technologists. At Sequoia Imaging Center, both come together for outstanding images delivered by caring professionals.
Sequoia Imaging Center features the latest technology to ensure that patients receive the best diagnostic services. Our filmless environment dramatically reduces wait time and provides referring physicians reports within 24 hours. Digital images are available instantaneously to physicians in their office, at the hospital or at home.
The equipment at Sequoia Imaging Center is designed for high speed as well as quality. That means that we are able to complete exams quickly, with minimal exam times on uncomfortable imaging surfaces.
Our advanced line of imaging modalities at Sequoia Imaging Center is there to conveniently serve our patients and their physicians by minimizing the inconvenience of traveling from one facility to another:
MRI Scanner GE’s 1.5 tesla Hi Speed Plus MRI with eight channel Excite technology provides the finest MRI images quickly, accurately, and with extreme detail. Our “short bore” technology also provides a more comfortable environment that will make the exam less stressful.
CT Scanning Toshiba’s Aquilion 16 Helical CT is one of the most highly advanced units available. Highly detailed images are acquired within seconds to provide our patients the most comfortable experience in CT procedures. Ultra fast scan times, speed, and accuracy. It’s all to give our patients a more comfortable experience.
Digital Imaging Units Our diagnostic x-ray units are pure digital, filmless x-ray technology. That means that there is no film or heavy cassettes that take valuable time to process. A chest x-ray is taken, and within several seconds, the image is on a monitor, and the patient is finished.
Picture Archiving Communication Systems (PACS)
Sequoia Imaging Center is a totally filmless facility. Physicians can access any films taken at Sequoia Imaging Center or at Kaweah Delta Hospital for immediate electronic viewing online. Physicians at SRCC can access any images, whether CT, MRI, or x-rays, at the hospital, their offices, or their homes. The speed in which we provide the information for physicians to provide treatment could not be faster.
Digital Mammography Sequoia Imaging Center is home to Visalia's first digital mammography units. A digital mammogram uses a special detector to capture and convert x-ray energy into digital data. The resulting digital images are immediately available to the radiologist for diagnosis and are incredibly flexible. Much like a digital photo, the images can be enhanced, manipulated, and improved by the radiologist, so a digital mammogram can provide more information for diagnosis. Digital technology also offers better visibility of the entire breast. In addition to a more flexible image, the new digital system works with ImageChecker, a computer-aided detection system. The software analyzes the image and highlights areas on the mammogram that contain features associated with cancer-much like a second set of eyes for the radiologist reading the mammogram. Breast localizations, stereotactic biopsies and biopsies utilizing ultrasound are also completed within this state-of-the-art facility.
