Open MRI, Ultrasound & X-Ray
Elk Grove Diagnostic Imaging offers Open MRI, Ultrasound, and Digital X-ray services for referring providers and patients. Radiology is a vital part of healthcare as it helps with the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of injury and disease. Patient care is our top priority so we may support our providers and patients with the best possible healthcare outcomes.

Ultrasound
Digital X-Ray
Ultrasound
Diagnostic Ultrasound (US) uses high-frequency sound waves to produce dynamic images (sonograms) of organs, tissues, or blood flow from inside the body. The Ultrasound Technologist will apply a water-based gel to the area of the body under examination, securing contact and eliminating air pockets between the transducer and the skin that can block the sound waves from passing into your body. The Ultrasound Technologist places the transducer on the body and moves it back and forth over the area to be studied until it captures the images requested by the physician.
Ultrasound is a safe procedure that uses low-power sound waves to produce images of structures within the body. Studies include:
• 1st, 2nd & 3rd Trimester
• Stucture of internal organs
• Blood flow in vessels & ateries
Digital X-Ray
Digital X-Ray
Digital X-Ray
Our Digital X-Ray machine is a high-frequency device that reduces the exposure time for the patient. The images are produced in less than 60 seconds and received by our radiologist in 90 seconds. Digital X-Ray technology provides superior precision that allows the technologist to zoom, turn, and rotate the image for the precise diagnosis needed in the study.
X-ray is a noninvasive and painless method that is able to be used in multiple situations, such as (but not limited to):
- Identifying broken bones and/or fractures
- Identifying joint dislocation
- Identifying abnormal growth or healing
- Assist in bone cancer detection
