Envision Radiology and NASA share a common goal: capturing the unseen. 👀 In space, NASA can place an x-ray telescope to collect photons — which are particles of electromagnetic energy — from certain areas of the sky. These photons hit the camera pixels of the x-ray, where the pixels then absorb the energy and release multiple electrons. When released, these electrons are stored inside the pixel and converted to an electronic signal. A computer can detect this signal and then turn it into a digital image — much like diagnostic imaging machines.

Ultrasound imaging, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. Although ultrasounds are commonly associated with detecting pregnancies, they can do more than check a baby’s health. In fact, ultrasounds can detect infections, cardiovascular issues, tumors and cysts, uterine fibroids, and thyroid conditions.

Scoliosis is more common in adolescents than you might think. Although many don’t experience pain until their 40s, it’s still important to detect and diagnose this condition early on. Through an MRI screening or CT scan, a physician can identify and monitor the abnormal bend of the spine and provide the necessary treatment.

The marketing team decided to hit pause last Thursday and spent the day bonding at the arcade, Main Event 🎮🎳 From arcade battles to laser tag showdown, we had a blast!

It’s important to detect prostate cancer early, and it’s even more important to know how to do so. Imaging tests — such as MRIs and ultrasounds — play a vital role in diagnosing prostate cancer. Once diagnosed, treatment can then be determined.

Tailbone pain can be unsettling and painful, but with the help of health care providers and diagnostic imaging, the cause of your pain can be found and treated.

Are you experiencing pain, numbness, or tingling in your knee when you walk? If you answered “yes,” you may have an osteochondroma, a common benign tumor, in your knee. Osteochondroma occurs when there is an abnormal overgrowth of cartilage and bone near the growth plate of the bone. In this photo, the overgrowth is highlighted yellow, showing the mass. Although this specific benign tumor has a low chance of malignant transformation, it is still important to have it diagnosed so you can receive the necessary treatment.

We had an amazing time at the company picnic with Health Images and Colorado Springs Imaging, held just last Saturday. From a fun-filled raffle to exciting games and delicious food, we had it all! A huge turnout made the day even more special as we celebrated the employees and their families. Thank you to everyone who showed up!

Did you know…? In the United States, about 795,000 people have a stroke every year, 13% of them being hemorrhagic. The image is a CT scan with a presence of a hemorrhagic stroke. The bright red areas in the image represent the hemorrhagic stroke, or in this case, an intracerebral hemorrhage. We know this is an intracerebral hemorrhage due to the density in the brain tissue. Someone might have this kind of stroke when their blood pressure becomes dangerously high, causing their arteries to change and rupture. This abnormal amount of blood in the brain creates pressure on the surrounding tissues and disrupts the normal day-to-day functions of the brain.
