OFMC’s Imaging Department encompasses several divisions of imaging modalities, of which Ultrasound is included.

​

The Ultrasound division of our Imaging Department assists in the detection and diagnosing a variety of diseases and/or health related problems that a patient may be experiencing.  Ultrasound studies are medical tests that do not use radiation, but instead are performed by using transducers (hand-held wands placed on the skin with gel) that emit high frequency sound waves to create an image of inside the body.  Our state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging equipment also has Color-flow and Doppler capabilities which aid in assessing arteries such as in the neck (carotids) to evaluate for blockages and veins to evaluate for blood clots.

​

We are also proud of the fact that this division has achieved accreditation by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) for Echocardiography which is a national organization that recognizes a facility having and maintaining high quality standards of heart imaging studies; along with utilizing certified licensed individuals for the examinations.
