On-Site Imaging

At The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics Orthopaedic Associates of Central Maryland Division, our commitment to comprehensive care includes providing advanced on-site imaging services to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, our imaging center offers digital X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capabilities, ensuring accurate and timely evaluations.

 On-site imaging is an essential component of an all-around orthopedic specialty center. With on-site imaging, our board-certified orthopedic surgeons are able to diagnose your condition appropriately and develop a treatment plan that suits your specific needs.

Our facility utilizes cutting-edge digital X-ray equipment, offering several advantages over traditional film X-rays. Digital imaging produces larger, clearer images that enable our doctors to make more precise diagnoses. Moreover, digital X-rays allow for easy comparison with previous images, facilitating the detection of subtle changes over time. One of the significant benefits of digital X-rays is their reduced radiation exposure, with up to 90 percent less radiation emitted compared to conventional X-ray methods. This technology ensures the safety of our patients while providing superior imaging quality.

X-rays play a crucial role in diagnosing various orthopedic conditions, including bone fractures, joint dislocations, arthritis, stress fractures, and osteoporosis. Additionally, they are instrumental in planning treatments for various surgeries like joint replacement surgeries, fracture reduction, orthopedic trauma, spinal deformities, and tumor evaluation. This imaging modality enables our medical team to accurately assess the extent of injuries and conditions, guiding effective treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.

MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that utilizes a powerful magnetic field and advanced computer algorithms to generate detailed images of the body's internal structures. In orthopedic care, MRI is particularly valuable for assessing soft tissue areas such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles. By producing high-quality images, MRI assists our healthcare professionals in making accurate diagnoses and formulating effective treatment plans. Additionally, MRI can potentially reduce the need for invasive exploratory procedures, offering patients a more streamlined diagnostic process and minimizing discomfort.

This imaging modality is extensively used to diagnose conditions such as rotator cuff tears, ACL injuries, meniscal tears, and tendonitis. Moreover, MRI aids in planning treatment strategies for sports injuries, spinal disorders, joint diseases, and tumors. By offering detailed insights into the structure and integrity of soft tissues, MRI enables our medical team to tailor treatment plans that optimize patient outcomes and enhance the overall quality of care.
