Touchstone Imaging Tyler

Touchstone’s 64-slice CT provides state-of-the-art technology at a fraction of hospital prices.

The modern open design allows for excellent patient comfort while delivering up to 64 slices with faster scanning, fewer motion artifacts, and shorter breath-hold times.

Faster scanning technology reduces the average MRI scan time by 50% providing a more comfortable imaging experience for anxious patients or anyone in pain. Non-contrast MRI scans are completed in 15 minutes or less. It also significantly reduces the length of time and number of breath holds for patients during body imaging scans, reducing the need for rescanning due to patient movement during image capture in the exam. AI post-processing technique improves image technology by removing noise and ringing artifacts.

An Open MRI scanner is designed to benefit claustrophobic patients. The open back and sides provide increased comfort for larger patients or patients that simply do not feel comfortable in a traditional MRI machine.

Ultrasound is a safe and painless procedure that is used to produce images of the inside of the body using sound waves. Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves the use of a small transducer (probe) and ultrasound gel placed directly on the skin. Ultrasounds are useful to scan internal organs, fetuses, and breast tissue.

An x-ray (radiograph) is a quick, painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Radiography involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation called electromagnetic waves. The various body tissues absorb the radiation differently, creating different shades in an image to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Calcium in the bones absorbs radiation the most, so bones appear bright white while soft tissues absorb less and look gray. Air absorbs the least, so lungs and empty spaces appear black. X-rays are great for looking for broken bones or scarring in the lungs.
