CHECK OUT WHAT’S NEW AT SUMMIT MEDICAL CENTER:
New MRI – We have upgraded our MRI to grow beyond our standard of care with new technology that improves imaging performance and takes patient comfort to new levels.

Breast MRI – Breast MRI uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging to look specifically at the breast. It is an extremely sensitive imaging technique used for the detection of breast cancer and evaluation of breast implants that is also non-invasive.

Arthrography- Uses fluoroscopy guided injection of contrast directly into the joint followed with an MRI or CT exam. The contrast outlines the structures in the joint, such as cartilage, ligaments and bones, which allows those structures to be evaluated by the radiologist after the images are produced.
