Diagnostic Radiology

Diagnostic radiology procedures are performed in our modern and homelike facility. Our diagnostic radiology department offers prompt services with little or no waiting. We offer flexible scheduling to meet your needs as well as those of your physician.

This department is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days each week. Procedures are performed by registered radiological technologists. For appointments, call (336) 832-6515, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

CT (Computed Tomography)
Accredited by the American College of Radiology

CT is staffed with registered technologists with specialized CT credentialing. Our staff is experienced in delivering services that include chest, abdominal, pelvic, head, neck and spine imaging. 

Our CT department offers flexible scheduling, often within the same day. For appointments, call (336) 832-6515, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Digital Mammography
Accredited by the American College of Radiology and FDA approved

The Women's Hospital of Greensboro offers state-of-the-art digital breast imaging. This advanced technology provides clearer images in half the time of traditional mammograms. It is especially beneficial for women younger than 50, premenopausal women and women with dense breasts. We also use CAD (Computer Assisted Diagnosis), which provides a second, electronic reading of your mammography study and can further improve cancer detection and the overall diagnostic accuracy of your mammogram. This method offers many advantages over traditional mammograms.

The benefits of using both digital mammography and CAD include:

• Improved patient comfort with less compression in most cases.
• Shorter exam times.
• Faster results.
• Less anxiety.
• Better for implants, dense or fibrocystic breasts, and smaller breasts.
• Less radiation.

Screening mammography is recommended for all women annually beginning at age 40. Appointments may be scheduled Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for your convenience. Call (336) 832-6515 to make an appointment. We provide special reserved parking spaces for our mammography patients. These spaces are located in front of the main entrance just beyond the circle drive.

Bone Densitometry

Twenty-five million Americans have osteoporosis.

The Women's Hospital has a new, state-of-the-art densitometer, which identifies bone loss at a much earlier stage. The test is completely painless and provides your risk score in just a few minutes.

The following are all risk factors for osteoporosis:

• Small, thin frame.
• Female.
• Asian ancestry.
• Never taken estrogen.
• Early menopause.
• Family history of osteoporosis.
• Avoidance of dairy foods.
• Low vitamin D intake.
• Rheumatoid arthritis.
• Excessive alcohol intake.
• Smoker.
• Excessive caffeine intake.

Post-menopausal women are the largest group at high risk for osteoporosis.

Would you like to know if you are at risk? Call The Women's Hospital Radiology at (336) 832-6515 for more information or to make an appointment for a bone density measurement. A physician referral is required.
