Medical Imaging

The Medical Imaging Department (historically called the "x-ray" or "radiology" department) provides the necessary diagnostic tools needed for patients and physicians in the community.

The X-ray department has a fully certified Mammography Department, which is certified by the FDA, a bone density lab for evaluating osteoporosis, and numerous diagnostic x-ray rooms.  The department also provides other specialty services such as a Nuclear Medicine Department, which can do routine heart studies, an Ultrasound Department capable of performing routine exams and specialty procedures like the heart and vessels, a helical CT scanner, and an open MRI, which reduces claustrophobia for patients.  LRMC was the first in the region to offer open MRI services.

Lea Regional has the area's only 1.5 Tessla MRI, which means that our images are even more accurate and precise and scan time is faster.  Our images are viewed and interpreted by a locally based, board-certified radiologist. A digital x-ray system allows doctors to view thier patients' exams almost instantly - which means you'll get your results quicker.

Faster and more precise imaging services.  Take care of your family and ask your doctor to send your family to Lea Regional's Imaging Services.
