Better medical imaging solutions for better care.

Diagnostic imaging is requested by a doctor when they need more information than a physical exam to diagnose a patient’s condition or injury. The diagnostic images show internal structures and can answer specific questions that a doctor can’t evaluate in an office appointment. Boys Town Diagnostic Imaging Services Center offers CT, MRI, Ultrasound and X-ray services.

Our diagnostic imaging services center offers the most advanced imaging technology on the market with 90% noise reduction, up to 40% lower radiation levels and spacious and adjustable exam environments comfortable for young children to seniors. Our advanced imaging solutions feature filmless scanning for same day imaging review and results.

CT Imaging

A CT scan combines multiple x-ray images taken from different angles around the body. A computer processing system then puts the cross-sectional images together to create a more detailed picture than a plain x-ray would. Our CT scanners use technology to tailor the radiation dose based on the patient’s age and weight, ensuring the lowest possible amount of radiation is used. Our scanners also accommodate whole body scanning without repositioning and provide high resolution imaging to improve accuracy and minimize artifacts.

MRI Imaging

An MRI uses a pulsing magnetic field to create images of the inside of your body. Our MRI patient caring suite is an oversized imaging room where patients can listen to music, watch videos and television and relax with calming imagery and sounds during an exam. Our MRI scanner offers a full range of applications and technologies to address different patient needs, ranging from clinical routine to research. The bore design is open and illuminated, with the shortest magnet in the industry, to help our patients stay calm and comfortable.

Child Life Specialists

To help alleviate the fears and anxieties a child may experience leading up to and during their diagnostic imaging service, providers can request a child life specialist work with the patient. Child life specialists identify potential sources of stress, provide accurate and age-appropriate information to the patient and family members and work with the child to plan and practice coping strategies.
