Catawba Valley Medical Center has three locations to serve our community. All facilities follow the “Image Gently Guidelines” for radiation safety in pediatric imaging to improve safe and effective imaging care of children. Each location is accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
The nuclear medicine department at CVMC is located on the main floor. We perform a multitude of exams at this location using a Siemens Symbia gamma camera. Exams performed at this location include cardiac stress testing, thyroid imaging, bone scans, lung scans, liver/gallbladder imaging, GI bleeding scans, brain perfusion imaging, and therapeutic treatments for thyroid and prostate cancer.
We have a second location at the Catawba Valley Imaging Center. At this location, we perform many routine nuclear medicine studies such as bone scans, HIDA scans, gastric emptying studies, and cardiac function studies. This facility is also capable of performing specialized scans to identify areas of bone infection, and parathyroid adenoma using a Siemens Symbia Intevo SPECT/CT camera. This allows the nuclear images showing areas of concern to be fused with a low radiation CT scan. This allows the radiologist to more accurately identify the exact anatomic location of the abnormality.
Our third location is at Catawba Valley Cardiology. We perform outpatient nuclear cardiac stress imaging at this facility using a Siemens Evo gamma camera. The technologist will image cardiac perfusion prior to and following treadmill or pharmacological stress testing. This exam identifies areas of the heart that have suffered damage from a heart attack, along with areas that may not be receiving adequate blood flow due to a blockage.
MDsave is a service for patients electing to pay cash for procedures. Procedure purchases must be made prior to receiving care. The provider will not file a claim for this service on your behalf.
