Oregon Medical Group Imaging Services offers a full range of highly specialized and innovative imaging modalities at their clinics throughout Eugene and Springfield including:
Digital Diagnotic Imaging (radiography): Diagnostic X-ray is the original modality from which the field of radiology developed, and is the most common tool employed in radiology. X-rays can be either still images or "movies," also know as Fluoroscopy, and can often be done quickly. They are frequently used to complement other kinds of radiological procedures. Learn more about preps for diagnostic X-ray (radiography) exams. X-Ray services are available at:
CT (Computed Tomography):Computed Tomography (CT) imaging combines the use of a digital computer and a rotating x-ray device to create detailed cross-sectional images or "slices" of the different organs and body parts.CT is one of the best tools for studying the lungs and abdomen. CT is an invaluable tool in the cancer diagnosis process. Learn more about the preps for computed tomography exams. CT services are located at Country Club Road Medical Center.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging):Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI is one of the most comprehensive diagnostic tools available to physicians. MRI uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. the MRI scanner reconstructs data into images that are usually displayed as "slices" through the body. Images are formed in three different cross-sections and can be linked together to show a 3 dimensional picture of the bone, internal organs or other tissue structures within the body. MRI has proven valuable for the diagnosis of a broad range of conditions, including cancer, heart and vascular disease, stroke, and joint and musculoskeletal disorders.

Mammography:A mammogram is a set of X-ray images of the breasts. A screening mammography is performed on women without symptoms. The purpose is to look for any early signs of breast cancer. The majority of these mammograms show no abnormality. A diagnostic mammography is performed to resolve a particular question related to the breast. Learn more about preps for mammography exams. Mammography services are located at Country Club Road Medical Center and Garden Way.
Nuclear Medicine:Nuclear medicine is an Imaging subspecialty often used to image the body and treat disease. It is unique because it provides doctors with information on organs and their function. A machine called a gamma camera detects radioactive material which has been introduced into the patient's body (usually by injection) for the nuclear medicine test.Nuclear Medicine is different from other imaging procedures in that it often allows for diagnostic information to be obtained prior to the onset of physical symptoms. Learn more about preps for nuclear medicine studies. Necular Medicine imaging services are located at Country Club Road Medical Center.
Ultrasound:Ultrasound exams are used to produce an image of the internal structures of the body, and are performed with the use of an ultrasound beam (very high frequency sound waves). As the beam passes through tissues, an echo will bounce off structures in your body and a computer in the ultrasound scanner displays the echo images on a monitor. These images are done "real time," which means that the sonographer is able to see the structures in your body on the screen while you are breathing and moving. Learn more about preps for exams. Ultrasound services are located at Country Club Road Medical Center, West Eugene and Garden Way
Bone Densitometry:Bone Densitometry is a radiology procedure that determines bone mineral density or bone mass. Bone mineral measurements are very highly correlated with bone strength, and have been shown to predict the potential or risk for bone fractures. Learn more about preps for bone densitometry exams. Bone Densitometry services are located at Country Club Road Medical Center and Garden Way
