Medical Diagnostic Services

MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic tool that produces detailed images of the human body without the use of x-rays, instead of merging the magnetic field, radiofrequency, and computers to produce highly detailed images of internal structures in a non-invasive way. MRIs are painless and involve no ionizing radiation. 

PrimeImaging provides state-of-the-art MRI equipment in Chattanooga. These MRI Machines utilize high-field open magnets. This allows us to provide the best quality imaging study while maximizing patient comfort.

Prostate MRI

PrimeImaging is one of the first in the world to use 3T MRI to clearly visualize the prostate, leading to higher accuracy in diagnosing and treatment planning. Choose PrimeImaging for your prostate diagnostic imaging test in Chattanooga.

CT Scan

Computed tomography (CT) is a diagnostic tool that combines x-rays with specialized computer technology to produce images of the body. PrimeImaging has remained at the leading edge of CT scanning by utilizing the latest technology with the least radiation to offer the highest quality images. 

Pet Scan

PET, short for Positron Emission Tomography, continues to be useful in the detection and treatment of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. PET and CT technologies are now combined to provide your physician with a way to develop a detailed diagnosis & treatment plan.

Mammography

PrimeImaging offers state-of-the-art breast care imaging, including the region’s first digital mammography examination suite. Our imaging expertise includes both diagnostic and screening mammography. We offer our mammography service at all 4 locations across Chattanooga.

Ultrasound

An ultrasound exam is a safe diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce an image of many of the internal structures of the body. Current technology leads to images of outstanding detail and clarity.

PrimeImaging provides state-of-the-art ultrasound at most of its imaging locations. Because this type of imaging is dependent on the skill of the technologist, we employ the best team with extensive ultrasound training.

Neurological Testing

PrimeImaging offers electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction tests to check for muscle disease and nerve damage, as well as electroencephalography (EEG) to evaluate the electrical activity in the brain. These tests are conducted at our Chattanooga Outpatient and Gunbarrel locations and will be interpreted by one of our experienced neurologists.
