MRI
A noninvasive, non-x-ray diagnostic technique based on the magnetic fields of hydrogen atoms in the body. MRI provides computer-generated images of the body's internal tissues and organs

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a painless diagnostic tool which uses a magnetic field and radio waves to see inside the body without using x-rays or surgery; a computer then interprets the radio waves and creates a picture of the internal body tissues. This service is available every Monday morning at MMH.

Computed Tomography (CT)
This is an X-ray procedure that uses a computer to produce a detailed picture of a cross section of the body; also called CAT or CT scan.  Our highly skilled radiology technicians will ease your mind as you are taken through this state-of-the-art procedure.

Mammography
The Mercy Women's Center provides us with the ability to offer our patients mamograms closer to home.  The Mamography Van comes to Marengo Memorial Hospital twice a month on Thursdays.  Please contact Mercy Hospital to make an appointment. 

Ultrasound
Caring Enterprises provides ultrasound services at Marengo Memorial Hospital by Alliance Imaging.  These services are available every Tuesday morning at MMH.  Call the hospital to arrange a time for your next ultrasound.

Bone Density
Osteoporosis is a gradual thinning and weakening of bones, which can lead to bone fractures.  Osteoporosis is often referred to as a "silent disease", many are less likely to find out they have it until they suffer a painful bone fracture.  Call our office to schedule an appointment for your bone density scan.  Your results are mailed to your family physician of choice or your chiropractor.
