At Horizon Orthopaedic and Spine Institute, our Radiology Services play a vital role in accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. Our state-of-the-art imaging department is equipped with advanced technology to offer comprehensive diagnostic services under one roof. From basic digital X-rays to advanced MRI scans, we provide fast, accurate, and detailed imaging to support orthopaedic, neurological, and general medical care.
All imaging and diagnostic procedures are interpreted by experienced radiologists and reviewed in collaboration with our orthopaedic, spine, and medical specialists. This integrated approach ensures seamless communication, timely treatment decisions, and a better patient experience.
MRI Scans
Our Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) services offer high-resolution, non-invasive imaging to visualize bones, joints, spinal structures, soft tissues, and neurological systems. MRI is crucial for detecting injuries, tumors, inflammation, and degenerative conditions that may not be visible on X-rays or CT scans.
Horizon’s MRI suite features comfortable, modern equipment designed to reduce patient anxiety and scan time. We use contrast-enhanced and multi-angle imaging protocols to give clinicians the clearest insights possible, allowing for better diagnosis and surgical planning.
Whether evaluating a torn ligament, slipped disc, or nerve compression, our MRI scans provide the precision needed to guide effective treatment and recovery planning.
DEXA Scans
Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scans are the gold standard for measuring bone mineral density and diagnosing osteoporosis or low bone mass. This is especially important for older adults, postmenopausal women, and patients at risk for fractures or spinal deformities.
Our DEXA scan services are safe, quick, and painless, offering essential data for evaluating bone strength and monitoring the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatment. We also use DEXA scans for orthopaedic pre-surgical assessments where bone integrity is critical.
By identifying bone density loss early, our team can recommend lifestyle changes, medications, or therapies that help prevent fractures and maintain mobility.
Digital X-ray Scans
Our Digital X-ray services offer fast and accurate imaging with significantly lower radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays. This service is often the first step in diagnosing fractures, joint deformities, infections, or arthritis.
Digital imaging allows for immediate viewing, faster turnaround times, and easy sharing with specialists within Horizon for integrated care. Our radiologists work in close coordination with orthopaedic surgeons and spine specialists to ensure accurate interpretations and prompt treatment planning.
Whether you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or injury, our high-quality X-rays help provide quick answers and targeted solutions.
Ultrasound Services
Our Ultrasound Services use high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of soft tissues, joints, ligaments, muscles, and blood flow. It is a safe, radiation-free diagnostic method commonly used in both orthopaedic and general medical cases.
We use ultrasound to evaluate joint inflammation, tendon tears, cysts, and vascular issues, as well as guide certain procedures like fluid aspiration or injections. Obstetric and abdominal ultrasound services are also available.
Our skilled technicians and radiologists ensure accurate, detailed scans while making patient comfort a top priority. The results are reviewed promptly and integrated into your treatment plan.
Neurophysiology Services
Our Neurophysiology Services are essential in evaluating the electrical activity of the brain, nerves, and muscles — especially when diagnosing conditions like neuropathy, spinal cord disorders, or nerve compression syndromes such as carpal tunnel.
We offer services like EMG (Electromyography), NCS (Nerve Conduction Studies), and EEG (Electroencephalograms), all performed by trained specialists using modern equipment. These tests help determine the nature and severity of neurological conditions that may affect movement, sensation, or balance.
Results from neurophysiological testing are interpreted in collaboration with our neurology and orthopaedic teams, ensuring a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and care.
Ultrasound-Guided Injections
Ultrasound-guided injections are a safe and precise way to deliver medication directly to affected joints, tendons, or soft tissues. These injections are often used for pain relief in conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and nerve impingement.
Using real-time ultrasound imaging, our specialists guide the needle to the exact target location, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of the treatment. This technique reduces risks and enhances patient comfort during the procedure.
These injections may include corticosteroids, local anesthetics, or regenerative therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), depending on your condition and treatment plan.
Laboratory Services
Horizon’s on-site Laboratory Services support fast and reliable testing to complement our imaging and clinical care. We offer a full range of diagnostic lab services including blood tests, inflammatory markers, metabolic panels, and pre-surgical screenings.
Having lab services in-house allows us to deliver results quickly and begin treatment without delay. Tests are processed under strict quality control and reviewed by our medical team for timely interpretation and decision-making.
Whether you’re undergoing surgery, managing a chronic condition, or receiving general medical care, our laboratory ensures accurate diagnostics and supports holistic patient care.
