VOA's Full System of Care Includes Imaging Services Print E-mail
Orthopedics is the area of medicine specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of bone, joint, tissue, muscle and nerve disorders. VOA's full system of care includes comprehensive imaging services to effectively diagnose your condition, which ultimately helps your orthopedic physician determine the best course of treatment.


VOA's STAR Medical Imaging services includes an advanced digital radiography system and MRI.

Radiography, or x-ray, is the simplest way for a physician to determine bone injury or disease, such as a fracture or arthritis. Traditionally this is done by viewing x-ray film on a light box.

Digital radiography is cutting edge x-ray that provides more detail than traditional x-ray and eliminates the need to develop films, which reduces patient wait time. VOA physicians are able to quickly access digital x-ray images at computer stations located throughout the VOA system.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) allows VOA physicians to diagnose conditions that x-ray does not pick up, such as ligament tears and tissue injury. MRI uses safe and painless magnetic and radio waves to produce high-resolution images for diagnosing bone, tissue, joint and musculoskeletal conditions.
