Family Care Centers
Technologies
State-of-the-art convenience
We now provide more complex technology at our family care
centers including:
• Computerized tomography (CT) - a diagnostic test
to produce
clear images of tissue being examined
while minimizing the
amount of radiatio exposure
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a way to examine
the
heart through very clear images of the
heart chambers and
muscle. Both Calumet City and Tinley Park
have "open" MRI
units for greater patient comfort
• Positron
emission tomography (PET) - a scan to detect cancer
at the molecular level
