Our Services
Southwest Louisiana Imaging is a partnership between the physicians of Access Radiology and CHRISTUS Ochsner St. Patrick Hospital. We proudly offer 3T MRI and 64 Slice CT imaging services to our patients and referring physicians of Southwest Louisiana and surrounding areas. We are an ACR accredited facility for both MRI and CT, including lung cancer screening.
MRI
MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, provides an unparalleled view inside the human body. The level of detail that physicians and technologists can see is extraordinary when compared with other imaging tools.
CT
Computed Tomography, CT, uses x-rays to produce detailed pictures of structures inside the body. A CT scanner directs a series of x-ray pulses through the body. Each pulse lasts only a fraction of a second and represents a “slice” of the organ or area being studied.
