Medical Imaging
Seeing is knowing
Today’s medical imaging technologies have made a significant impact on the diagnosis of disease and the assessment of a patient’s response to treatment. Equipment and software enable physicians to treat patients more effectively and with greater precision.
At Vanguard West Suburban Medical Center, medical imaging has gone beyond the traditional X-ray to systems that provide a picture-perfect, full-color view inside the human body. Our nuclear heart scan, for example, allows physicians to see the beating heart and measure the heart’s ability to pump blood.

- Bone densitometry
- Computerized tomography (CT)
- Open and closed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Uterine fibroid embolization
