Medical Imaging

Digital Radiology Department

St. Luke's Magic Valley's Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) is used for imaging modalities including CT, MRI, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, and x-ray, all of which were printed on film prior to the PACS installation in 2001. Physicians and medical center employees now have access to these critical diagnostic tools via computer, in their offices, at workstations in the medical center, and even at home.

A Kodak DirectView CR 900 system installed in 2002 complements the PACS and supports multiple exam rooms as well as portable x-ray exams. CR systems create images that are stored digitally and can be easily accessed.

The caregivers who need patient information can now get it more quickly and easily than ever before. The sooner they have the information, the sooner an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan can be identified for the patient.
