Our services

Our state-of-the-art imaging center provides the following imaging services in Bel Air:

  • 3D Mammography: 3D mammography offers a fast and convenient option for baseline and routine breast cancer screenings, made more comfortable with SmartCurve™ technology. MedStar Health’s breast imaging is smarter than ever, combining advanced technology, specialized breast radiologists, and AI that acts as a powerful second set of eyes to detect subtle changes even earlier. Trained from a dataset of over 1 million images, this AI enhances accuracy, especially for women with dense breasts, helping deliver more personalized exams and improving early cancer detection at no additional cost.

  • Biopsies: A biopsy is a simple procedure that removes a sample of abnormal tissue for further testing.

  • Computed Tomography (CT): CT scans provide detailed images of blood vessels, bones, and soft tissues. It may be used to diagnose anything from injury to heart disease, or to track the progression or treatment effectiveness for cancer.

  • Bone Density Screening (DEXA): DEXA scans uses x-ray technology to assess bone density and help diagnose diseases such as osteoporosis.

  • MRI: An MRI produces detailed images of the inside of your body. An MRI can help diagnose a variety of internal injuries, such as a blood clot or abnormal growth.

  • Ultrasound: Ultrasounds produce real-time images for a variety of uses including monitoring pregnancy, guiding doctors during biopsies, and identifying tumors in organs and soft tissues.

  • X-rays: An X-ray captures an image of the inside of your body. X-ray technology may also be used in a fluoroscopy test that captures a moving image, similar to a video. This provides a clearer view of the digestive, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal, and urinary systems.
