Get Faster Answers With On-Site Imaging
Diagnostic imaging enables our team to visualize what’s happening beneath the surface, allowing us to identify injuries, pinpoint the source of pain, and guide your treatment. At Florida Medical Center, all imaging is performed in-house for a seamless, elevated experience that keeps your care under one roof.
In-House X-Rays
In-house X-rays are performed here at Florida Medical Center, eliminating the need to visit an outside imaging center. Using advanced digital technology, these scans capture detailed images of your bones and joints to detect fractures, arthritis, alignment issues, and other structural concerns. Because results are available instantly, our specialists can review your images, collaborate, and build a personalized plan during the same visit.
In-House Diagnostic Ultrasound
Our in-house diagnostic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of soft tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and internal structures. This non-invasive test helps identify inflammation, joint effusions, soft tissue injuries, cysts, and internal conditions without radiation. Performed entirely on-site, your ultrasound results are reviewed immediately by our integrated team, enabling swift diagnosis and streamlined treatment.
In-House X-Rays Can Help Identify:
- Bone fractures and breaks
- Joint misalignments
- Signs of arthritis
- Bone degeneration
- Spinal issues and abnormalities
- Structural damage from auto or work injuries
- Causes of chronic pain in the back, neck, or knees
- Other internal conditions affecting your musculoskeletal system
How Do X-Rays Work?
X-Rays
X-rays use a small, controlled dose of ionizing radiation to pass through your body. Dense structures like bones absorb more radiation and appear white, while softer tissues let more rays through, appearing darker on the image. This contrast helps create a detailed picture of what’s happening beneath the surface and produce high-resolution images instantly, allowing our team to analyze, diagnose, and coordinate your care promptly, all under one roof.
Diagnostic Ultrasounds
Diagnostic ultrasounds use high-frequency sound waves that travel into the body and bounce off internal tissues, creating echoes that are converted into real-time images. Unlike X-rays, ultrasounds use no radiation, making them safe for repeated or targeted evaluations. As the handheld transducer moves across your skin, it sends and receives these sound waves, allowing our providers to visualize muscles, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues in motion.
Your In-House Diagnostic Imaging Experience
When you visit Florida Medical Center, your care begins with a detailed consultation. Our providers take the time to listen closely as you describe your symptoms, review your medical history, and perform a thorough exam. If we need to see beneath the surface, whether after an injury, persistent pain, or a suspected condition, we may recommend our in-house diagnostic tests, including X-rays or diagnostic ultrasounds, in Panama City.
Preparing For Your Diagnostic Imaging
You won’t need to do much before your X-ray or diagnostic ultrasound. Our team guides you through the entire process, addresses your questions, and ensures you feel comfortable. For X-rays, you may be asked to remove jewelry or accessories that could interfere with the images. For ultrasounds, a small amount of gel is applied to help the transducer glide smoothly over the skin. Because it’s all done here, you skip extra appointments and outside imaging centers.
Receiving the X-Ray or Ultrasound
During your imaging scan, our trained staff gently positions you to capture the exact area that needs evaluation. X-rays last only a few minutes and involve using very low levels of radiation to produce crisp, detailed images of your bones and joints. For diagnostic ultrasounds, a handheld transducer glides over the skin to capture real-time images of soft tissues using harmless sound waves. This gives our doctors a precise view of what’s happening inside your body.
Reviewing Your Results
After your images are taken, there’s no long waiting period or need to visit another facility. Our doctors review your X-rays and ultrasounds immediately, using the detailed images to identify fractures, alignment issues, arthritis, soft-tissue injuries, inflammation, and other conditions. We bring the images directly into your consultation, explain the findings in clear, straightforward language, and ensure you understand what we see and why it matters for your care.
