Imaging & Radiology
The use of imaging as a medical technique began more than a century ago when X-rays were discovered. It has since evolved into a complex science thanks to the development of advanced technological equipment which offers comprehensive views of the body, its organs, internal structures and function for diagnosis and treatment.
Gundersen Health System provides expert imaging services to adult and pediatric patients throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. Our department is staffed by an experienced team of radiologists, nurses, technologists, sonographers and medical physicists.
We offer expert care in these areas:
Radiation Safety
Although concern about radiation exposure is normal, harmful effects from the low levels of radiation used in diagnostic imaging have never been observed or proven. Any small potential risks from radiation are believed to be greatly outweighed by the benefit of the information obtained regarding your medical condition.
Gundersen's imaging specialists are strongly committed to minimizing the amount of radiation you receive during an exam while maintaining high image quality. This commitment includes an active Radiation Safety program staffed by qualified medical physicists. Medical physicists are board certified experts that specialize in diagnostic imaging, radiation safety and radiation dose assessment.
