Radiology

The Radiology Department is operated under the supervision of a radiologist who is a physician that has specialized in the field of Radiology. Our technical staff consists of professionally trained technologists who are certified and licensed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

We offer a variety of services including X-ray, Ultrasound, Computerized Tomography (CAT Scan), Nuclear Medicine, and Mammography. Radiology procedures are one of the most valuable aids to your doctor in diagnosing your illness. All procedures are performed at the request of your physician with the results being reported to the requesting physician. Each modality provides the physician detailed images and information to better aid him/her in diagnosing and caring for their patient.

Our Radiology Department also has the CPSI ImageLink® PACS (picture archiving and communication system) as well as the Konica Minolta Regius® CR system (computerized radiography). PACS has enabled us to move into the “digital” era and better serve our patients in a more timely and efficient manner resulting in digital “soft copy” images which offer the health care enterprise a more complete electronic medical record that provides clinicians with secure and immediate access to diagnostic images when and where they need them, including the patient’s nursing unit.

In August 2010, Pineville Community Hospital is proud to announce the addition of a new MRI experience, the all-new-high-field MAGNETOM ESSENZA. It has a strong magnet for detailed images, so your healthcare providers can make a more confident diagnosis. Its short magnet design means many exams can be done with your head outside of the magnet. And exclusive technology allows for faster exams.
