POSITRON EMISSIONS TOMOGRAPHY - PET/CT
PET/CT is one of the newest, most advanced diagnostic imaging procedures used to identify cancer. It can also detect certain diseases of the heart and brain such as myocardial perfusion, Alzheimer's disease, and seizures.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING - MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an advanced diagnostic imaging procedure which uses a magnetic field, radio frequency signals and sophisticated computers to produce multi-dimensional views of the body. These detailed images show the soft tissue, nerves, and bone structure with the body.
LITHOTRIPSY
Lithotripsy is a Greek word meaning "stone crusher" which precisely describes the technique. Externally generated shock waves harmlessly penetrate body tissues, but provide enough pressure on a kidney stone to disintegrate it into small granules enabling them to be excreted from the body.
BRAVO
BRAVO is a non-invasive test for heartburn. A 
miniature BRAVO pH capsule, the size of a gelcap, is attached to the wall of the esophagus. The BRAVO capsule transmits pH data via radio frequency to a pager-sized receiver worn by the patient. The BRAVO capsule naturally detaches off the esophagus after a few days and passes through the digestive tract. The data is interpreted by a physician to determine proper clinical treatment planning.
RADIO FREQUENCY ABLATION - RFA
Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) is a new technique for treating tumors localized to certain organs such as the liver, kidney and lungs. With this technique, relatively small probes are placed into the tumor and radio frequency energy deposited. The RF energy causes the tissue around the tip of the probe to heat up to a temperature where cells break apart and die. Since RF kills both tumor and non-tumor cells, the goal is to place the probes so that they destroy all of the tumor plus an adequate "rim" of non-tumorous tissue around it.
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY - CT
CT is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses special x-ray equipment to obtain image data from different angles around the body and then uses computer processing of the information to show a cross-section of body tissues and organs.
INDUSTRIAL SLEEP SERVICES
Vantage Diagnostic Sleep Services specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. With the state-of-the-art equipment and registered sleep technicians, Vantage's goal is to educate the community adn physicians on the effects sleep disorders can have on a person's quality of life.
