We offer a full line of medical imaging services including CT, MRI and X-rays to help diagnose a wide range of conditions.

 

The RIA Advantage

With a cutting-edge imaging interface, our team at Aspen Valley Hospital is able to access the expertise of over 90 offsite radiology specialists in Denver. These physicians are members of Radiology Imaging Associates (RIA), an alliance of radiologists in Colorado who are fellowship-trained in their field of specialty for additional certification. All images are read by specialists best suited to read the scan and provide a diagnosis in a matter of minutes.

Our Services

CT Scans

A computed tomography (CT) scan is an imaging method that uses X-rays to create cross-sectional pictures of the body.

We provide incredible image quality on our 64-Slice GE for studies such as drain placement, biopsies and bone marrow biopsies, giving precise measurements and accurate location of the area of interest.

We also provide specialized studies, such as:

  • CTA Coronary
  • Fusion for ENT surgeries
  • Studies for specific joint replacements
MRI Studies

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is an imaging test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the body. It does not use radiation (X-rays).

Our top-of-the-line 1.5 GE Optima 450W provides exceptional image quality for all MRI studies.

Specialized studies include:

  • Breast MRI
  • Specialized abdomen studies
X-rays

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light. In a healthcare setting, a machine sends individual X-ray particles through the body. A computer or special film is used to record the images that are created.

Diagnostic X-ray encompasses many different types of exams such as bone imaging, scoliosis imaging, chest X-rays, abdomen plain films, fluoroscopy and studies using contrast agents.

Ultrasound

An ultrasound is a safe and painless test using sound waves to get an image of different areas inside your body.

We provide adult and pediatric echo studies, diagnostic breast studies and more.

 

3D Mammography
Our leading-edge breast imaging gives you greater peace of mind.

If you have dense breast tissue you may benefit from having a 3D mammogram. Also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, 3D mammography creates more detailed images of your breast.

Our ABUS system is specialized for these studies.

Non-surgical Biopsies

In addition to 3D mammography, we also have the latest non-surgical technology for performing biopsies, including an upright stereotactic machine and a vaccuum assist machine so you don’t have to travel far from home for expert care during a stressful time.

Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the interior of an object. In its primary application of medical imaging, a fluoroscope allows a physician to see the internal structure and function of a patient so that the pumping action of the heart or the motion of swallowing, for example, can be watched.

We provide all types of fluoroscopy imaging (live imaging performed by the radiologist). We work hand-in-hand with our speech pathologists to offer modified barium swallows.

Bone Densitometry

Bone density scans (densitometry) is a scan that measures your bone thickness. Bone densitometry is also called a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. DXA scans are normally done on your hip, spine or forearm (lower arm).

Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear radiologists are doctors who use tiny amounts of radiation to find and treat disease. Nuclear medicine procedures include:

  • PET scans to diagnose cancer and assess cancer treatment
  • Cardiac stress tests to see how well the heart is working
  • Bone scans for infections, injuries or tumors
  • Lung scans for blood clots or swelling
