X-Ray & Imaging

For the physicians at the Reno Orthopedic Center, an accurate, timely diagnosis is always the first step to recovery. That’s why we offer a range of diagnostic services. Our state-of-the-art equipment includes Computed Radiography (CR). CR allows us to capture hospital quality digital images (digital x-rays) on a computer screen. CR is a well-proven technology. It provides a digital image acquisition process that produces images superior to conventional x-ray on film. X-ray digital images are read, interpreted, and stored on a computer or CD.

ROC is now offering Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Our “orthopedic only” imaging center provides state-of-the-art diagnostic services specially designed for orthopedic patients. We provide the latest technology in imaging services, allowing us to recommend the most effective and appropriate treatment for our patients.
