Imaging includes a wide array of procedures, from x-rays and mammograms, to CT scans, MRIs, ultrasound and nuclear medicine. The Jewish Hospital is a full-service imaging center, and our mission is to provide patients with the highest level of care, a comfortable environment, as well as convenient access for appointments at both the main hospital and our imaging facility located across the street on Galbraith Road. As a teaching center for imaging technologies, we utilize state of the art equipment that is updated on a continuous basis. Our physicians are among the most experienced in Greater Cincinnati, in both radiology and interventional radiology. And almost half of our radiological technologists have been with Jewish Hospital for more than 15 years. They are ready to answer your questions and provide you with the best care possible.

Our physicians

The physicians of Professional Radiology Inc. practice at Jewish Hospital. All are board-certified, and most have completed additional fellowship training in various sub-specialty fields such as interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, PET scanning, ultrasound, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and neuroradiology.

CT scan  

CT scans, also known as CAT scans or computerized tomography, are painless diagnostic tests that use specialized X-ray equipment and powerful computers to create cross-section images of the inside of the body or the head. CT scans provide more detail than conventional X-rays and can produce images of bone, soft tissue and blood vessels all at the same time. 

• Jewish Hospital uses a state-of-the-art 64-slice CT scanner made by (manufacturer).

• All of our radiological technologists are licensed by the State of Ohio and registered with the ARRT, the world's largest credentialing organization in radiologic technology.

Diagnostic Radiology (X-ray)

Interventional Radiology

MRI

(sample MRI image)
 MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure that allows physicians to create highly detailed images of organs, the brain, joints and other soft tissues inside the body. An MRI machine does not use X-rays like a CT scanner, but rather uses a strong magnetic field and radio frequency waves to create the images.

Below are links to how to prepare for an MRI and what to expect during the procedure, Remember, if you have any concerns about the MRI or any other imaging procedure, a member of the Jewish Hospital imaging staff will help you. They are among the most experienced in Greater Cincinnati and dedicated to providing you with the best and most comfortable care.

General Nuclear Medicine

With nuclear medicine, the patient is given a very small dose of a radioactive substance, and images are made by detecting the energy that is emitted by the substance.  The amount of radiation a patient is exposed to is about the same as a routine X-ray.

Typically, the procedures are done on an outpatient basis? Common nuclear medicine procedures include the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract x-ray, which utilizes barium, as well as other examples of NM procedures that are done at Jewish? Any areas of specialty?

• All of our nuclear medicine technologists hold bachelor of science degrees in nuclear medicine, are licensed by the State of Ohio, are certified by the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board?, and are registered with the ARRT, the world's largest credentialing organization in radiologic technology.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging, also known as sonography, utilizes high frequency sound rather than x-rays to produce images. Ultrasound can be used to show movement because the images are created in real-time. Any specific ultrasound tests that Jewish is well-known for?
