Radiology and imaging is a medical field primarily focused on diagnostic
testing and procedures. It is called “imaging” because it
involves the use of x-rays, cameras, and other technology to obtain images
of the body’s internal structures.
Ridgecrest Regional Hospital is a leader in medical imaging in the Southern
Sierra Region as we have introduced innovative technology to the area.
No longer do residents of the Kern County area have to travel far for
high-quality, comprehensive imaging services. We offer a wide variety
of state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures.
Our Technology & Services
From X-rays and Ct scans to mammograms, our hospital is equipped with sophisticated
technology designed for quality and efficiency. We have a team of radiologists
trained to use these innovative devices and carefully analyze results
for any abnormalities or signs of injury.
Our facility hosts the GE Signa HDxT 1.5T MRI and the GE Optima 660 CT
system. The new GE Optima 660 CT system provides high-resolution images
and faster exam time that ultimately lead to shorter breath holds and
more comfort for our patients. Most importantly, however, the new system
offers ASIR low dose technology that allows us to optimize (or lower)
radiation dose level for all exams, some in excess of 60%.
We offer the following diagnostic imaging services:
X-Rays
CT Scans
Fluoroscopy Imaging
