The diagnostic imaging professionals with Lake Butler Hospital offer safe and convenient radiology services at our critical access hospital on an outpatient, inpatient, and emergency basis. The advanced imaging technology within our hospital involves 60% less radiation exposure than typical scanners found in other hospitals and provides our physicians with a pathway to effective diagnoses and treatments for patients who suffer from a range of medical conditions. Our hospital combines diagnostic expertise with innovative imaging technology to leverage the benefits of this valuable medical tool and provide patients with compassionate care and reliable, timely results. A CT scan may be performed with contrast, a medical dye that highlights areas within images, and administered in several methods, such as intravenous therapy (IV).

The high-performance CT scanner used within our radiology department is manufactured by SIEMENS Healthineers. CT scans typically are scheduled procedures based upon the instructions of the patient’s provider, except in emergency situations.

Results of all tests are sent directly to the ordering providers. All X-rays and ultrasounds, excluding echocardiograms, will have results on the same day, and stat orders are accepted. Our Radiology Technologists are licensed and certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, and exams are interpreted by board-certified radiologists.
