Diagnostic Imaging and X-Ray Services
The Diagnostic Imaging and X-Ray Services of Cullman Regional Medical Center offers services unique to the Cullman County area. Staffed by highly trained and experienced medical professionals, the center specializes in the application of radiologic technology.

Through the hard work and dedication of our staff, physicians are able to provide their patients with prompt, accurate diagnosis and treatment. While using some of the most technologically advanced equipment available, we strive to make your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible.

The center offers a wide range of sophisticated diagnostic procedures. These include:

Computerized Axial Tomography: Also known as a C.T. scan, this highly sophisticated x-ray assists physicians in the detection of tissue damage or irregularities throughout the body. The C.T. scan provides physicians with rapid, detailed results, enabling them to diagnose and treat problems early.

Ultrasound: Ultrasound is a non-radiation imaging technique used by physicians to examine organs, breast, joints and fetal development, and to diagnose gynecological problems.

Nuclear Medicine: The advanced techniques used in nuclear medicine enable physicians to view areas of the body such as the brain, thyroid, lungs, heart, liver, intestines, bones and kidneys.

Fixed Base Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The MRI permits physicians to "see" and diagnose disease, or assess internal damage of tissue without the use of x-rays. The precise pictures produced by the MRI can assist in early detection, thereby reducing the need for some diagnostic surgeries. Unlike mobile units, the fixed base MRI greatly improves the quality of the images, which are produced. As a result, it offers greater accuracy for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Myelogram: A myelogram is an x-ray of the spinal column. Like many other diagnostic imaging procedures, the myelogram has been used with great success to detect and diagnose problems.

Fluoroscopy Exams: Fluoroscopy is a high clarity, live image x-ray. Using a barium or dye injection, this procedure enables physicians to evaluate organs; tissue, bone and blood flow on a "television" monitor.
