Diagnostic Center - Blessing Health Hannibal

Services Offered

• MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan uses a computer to produce detailed images of organs and tissues within the body. A doctor's order and schedule appointment are required.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): Electrocardiogram (EKG) is a brief and painless procedure that measures the heart’s electrical activity to evaluate cardiovascular disease. A doctor’s order is required, but no appointment is necessary.
• X-Ray: Skilled technologists provide x-ray imaging on a walk-in basis.  Our facility offers high-quality imaging using digital technology. A doctor’s order is required, but no appointment is necessary.
• In-Motion X-Ray: In-motion x-ray, also known as dynamic digital radiography, is a low dose x-ray that takes a series of images very quickly while the patient is in motion and allows physicians to see the inside of the body as it moves. A doctor’s order is required, but no appointment is necessary.
• Bone Density: A quick (10-30 min) scan, painless, low-dose X-ray that measures bone strength to diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk.
• CT: A computed tomography (CT) scan uses a computer to process and combine multiple x-rays taken from different angles and produce cross-sectional images (“slices”) of bones, blood vessels and soft tissue within the body.  A doctor’s order and scheduled appointment are required.
• Mammography: A low-dose X-ray imaging procedure used to screen for and diagnose breast cancer, often detecting abnormalities before symptoms appear. No appointment required.
• Nuclear Med Testing: Diagnostic imaging test using small amounts of radioactive material (radiotracers) to evaluate organ function and structure. Doctor order is required and no appointment is necessary 
• 1.5 MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses strong magnetic fields along with computer-generated radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues within the body.  A doctor’s order and scheduled appointment are required.
• PET (Positron emission tomography): Positive emission tomography is a non-invasive nuclear imaging test that uses a safe radioactive tracer to visualize metabolic activity in tissues and organs. Doctor order is required and no appointment is necessary. 
• Laboratory: Laboratory test results are typically available to physicians within 24 hours. However, some specialized tests and cultures must be sent out for detailed evaluation and therefore require additional time for final results. A doctor’s order is required, but no appointment is necessary. This is a draw site for those tests, and the actual testing is not done here.
