Medical imaging is a critical tool for diagnosing injuries and illnesses, and X-rays remain one of the most widely used imaging methods. While X-rays are highly effective for viewing bones and dense structures, many people wonder how well they can detect soft tissue problems.  In this article, we will explore the capabilities and limitations of…

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become one of the most advanced diagnostic tools available in modern medicine. By using strong magnetic fields and radio waves, MRI provides detailed images of the body’s internal structures without exposing patients to ionizing radiation. At NextGen Diagnostic Imaging, we specialize in high-quality MRI scans designed to support accurate diagnosis…

Mammograms are an essential tool in detecting breast health issues, particularly breast cancer, at early stages. However, not all mammograms are the same. Women may encounter two main types of mammograms: screening mammograms and diagnostic mammograms. While both procedures involve X-ray imaging of the breast, their purpose, process, and follow-up steps differ significantly.  Understanding these…

Mammograms are a cornerstone of breast health screening, offering early detection of breast cancer and other abnormalities. Advances in medical imaging have introduced two primary types of mammograms: 2D and 3D. Understanding the differences between these technologies is essential for patients making informed decisions about their breast health. At NextGen Diagnostic Imaging, we aim to…

Expecting a child is a journey filled with excitement, anticipation, and questions—especially when it comes to prenatal imaging. Among the many technologies available today, 3D ultrasounds offer expectant parents the chance to see their baby in stunning detail, sometimes even capturing facial features before birth.  While this technology can be thrilling, safety remains a top…

Medical imaging has seen remarkable advancements over the years, especially in prenatal care.

Each technology offers unique benefits,…

Preparing for a CT scan can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to what you should eat. You want something that won’t upset your stomach, won’t interfere with the scan, and will help you feel comfortable during the procedure.  Eating correctly can reduce anxiety, prevent nausea, and ensure your scan results are accurate. If you’re…

A CT scan, short for Computed Tomography scan, is a diagnostic imaging tool that allows doctors to view detailed cross-sectional images of the body. Unlike a traditional X-ray, which provides only a flat image, a CT scan combines multiple X-rays taken from different angles and processes them using advanced computer software to produce a 3D…

Breast health is crucial, yet many women hesitate when it comes to screening. With advances in technology, mammograms have evolved. Traditional 2D mammograms have been the standard for decades, but 3D mammography, also called breast tomosynthesis, has become increasingly popular.  The big question many women ask is: is a 3D mammogram really better than a…

Breast health is a topic many women put off, but staying proactive can save lives. Mammograms have been a cornerstone of early detection for decades, yet technology has dramatically improved how we screen for breast cancer.  One of the most important advancements is the 3D mammogram, also known as breast tomosynthesis. Unlike traditional mammograms, a…
