For orthopedic patients, MRI can help diagnose some of the most complex joints in the body, such as the shoulder and pelvis. It can also detect subtle damage to the spine and joints in patients with herniated disks and arthritis. Ultrasound studies use high frequency sound waves to make pictures of different parts of the body. Tri-County Baptist offers ultrasound studies that can help detect heart problems, abdominal disorders, blood vessel problems, eye disorders and pelvic disorders.
Obstetrical ultrasound is also available.
