Leveraging Technology for Diagnosis and Treatment

Dramatic advances in the quality and capabilities of imaging and radiology technology have enhanced caregivers’ ability to make diagnoses, provide treatment and monitor recovery. So at Cadence Health, our health system continuously seeks out and invests in the technologies that can make the biggest difference in the care we provide you.

From X-ray to ultrasound, MRI to PET/CT imaging, Cadence Health brings you the leading-edge imaging solutions that help your physician continually improve the quality of care you receive. You can access many of these technologies in dedicated, specially designed facilities, all staffed by experienced, certified technicians.

Leading Edge Imaging

At Cadence Health, you’ll find a system-wide commitment to invest in the latest technology in an effort to continually raise the bar on care quality. For example, at Cadence Health’s Central DuPage Hospital campus, you’ll find Illinois’ only full-field intraoperative MRI (i-MRI). The i-MRI is a state-of-the-art surgical tool that provides high-quality, detailed images during critical procedures like brain surgery, which allows the surgeon to make adjustments as necessary, thus improving patient outcomes.

Likewise, our system features catheterization labs that provide continuous imaging during heart surgery procedures, allowing surgeons to provide maximum benefit from minimally invasive techniques. Two system facilities offer on-site PET/CT scans 24/7, so scans can take place when you need them.

Technology is best maximized when highly skilled professionals are available to operate it. Cadence Health hires, trains and retains some of the best technicians in the western suburbs. Many of our technicians have 20 years or more experience in the field. As well, the radiologists* that interpret your exams offer subspecialty expertise such as neuroradiology and interventional radiology.

What a Picture’s Worth

At Cadence Health, our imaging capabilities aren’t limited to leading-edge or hard-to-find technologies. Putting your needs and peace of mind first, we offer a comprehensive set of imaging solutions, whether you need traditional X-rays after a child’s fall, fluoroscopy that allows your caregiver to examine blood flow, or ultrasound that enables you to view your baby in utero. When an image of the inside of the body is indispensible to your care, you can feel confident knowing that all Cadence imaging solutions are meant to enable medical professionals to provide more precise diagnoses and better outcomes.
