The radiology department at USA Health in Mobile, Alabama, offers a wide range of diagnostic imaging procedures to help doctors successfully diagnose and treat patients.
Call 251-415-1660At USA Health, our radiologists use the latest and most advanced diagnostic procedures for both inpatients and outpatients to provide doctors with images needed to accurately diagnosis a condition. Our procedures range from conventional imaging, such as contrast studies with barium for evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract, to more advanced diagnostics such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine. Interventional radiologists at USA Health also provide treatment options using sophisticated technologies.

Diagnostic procedures performed by the USA Health radiology team include the following:
A noninvasive way to measure the density (calcium levels) of bones, allowing for the assessment of osteoporosis.
Ultrasound, or sonography, is a noninvasive imaging procedure using soundwaves. It allows our specialists to examine organs and vessels inside the body without the use of radiation.
X-Ray uses small amounts of radiation to capture images of the body, allowing your doctor to view internal structures such as bones.
Mammography is a breast cancer screening tool, using X-rays to detect tumors or abnormal growths. We employ the latest digital system at USA Health’s Strada Patient Care Center, Providence Outpatient Diagnostic, and West Mobile Imaging center allowing for earlier detection of cancer.
Nuclear medicine helps evaluate organ function, locate tumors, and detect infections. It’s also used as a treatment, alongside surgery for thyroid, parathyroid, and breast cancer. Our dual-head camera enables fast and efficient imaging. Our diagnostic and therapeutic arthrogram procedures are performed primarily under fluoroscopy. The diagnostic examinations include MRI or CT imaging to evaluate the joint and surrounding structures for the shoulder, hip, elbow, wrist, knee, ankle, and subtalar joints.
MRI uses a large magnet to create detailed images of the body without the use of radiation. At USA Health, we use MRIs to diagnose conditions and offer specialized procedures like breast biopsies.
MRE is a diagnostic technique that merges MRI technology with low-frequency vibrations to generate an image known as an elastogram. This image helps identify changes in tissue that may result from various medical conditions, and is provided at USA Health Children’s and Women’s Hospital.
A CT scan uses X-rays to create detailed views of the body. Our advanced scanners enable us to perform specialized scans such as CT angiography, which aids in diagnosing conditions such as coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, pulmonary embolisms, and other cardiovascular issues. Additionally we have the ability to perform spectral imaging at University Hospital which allows us to analyze the structures of the body in more detail than previously possible.
