Untreated chronic wounds can lead to diminished quality of life and possibly amputation of the affected limb. Chronic wounds represent a cost of more than $50 billion to the healthcare system. More than 29 million people (9.5% of population) have diabetes in the United States (US) and almost two million of those people annually will develop a diabetic foot ulcer or other non-healing wound.

Unlike other imaging methods, nuclear medicine imaging is unique because it provides your doctor with information about both function and structure.

This particular type of imaging procedure often identifies abnormalities very early in the progress of a disease, often much sooner than with other diagnostic tests. - [MRI](https://missionrmc.org/services/imaging/mri/): Mission Regional Medical Center uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as a diagnostic tool to produce in-depth images of organs, bones, soft tissue, and the rest of the internal body structure.

It provides a good contrast between different soft tissues in the body which doctors find especially useful when looking at the brain, muscles, heart, and breasts. - [Digital X-Rays](https://missionrmc.org/services/imaging/digital-x-rays/): The Definium 8000 from GE Healthcare is a digital radiography system that helps physicians clearly see injuries and abnormalities while confidently prescribing the best treatment.

The PACS displays, and transmits the images throughout the hospital and offers the convenience of viewing the images to our Physicians in conjunction with our EMR (Electronic Medical Records). - [Colonoscopy](https://missionrmc.org/services/gastrointestinal-gi/colonoscopy/): Colonoscopies are used to find ulcers, tumors, colon polyps, and areas of inflammation or bleeding. During the exam, tissue samples are collected and may be biopsied. Abnormal growths are also removed.

A colonoscopy is performed by a gastroenterologist, a doctor who specializes in stomach and intestinal problems. - [Echocardiogram](https://missionrmc.org/services/cardiology/echocardiogram/): An Echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to look at the anatomy of the heart. Some of the structures that are seen are the valves, chambers and heart function. A transducer probe is used to transmit sound waves into the heart. - [Angioplasty & Stents](https://missionrmc.org/services/cardiology/cath-lab/angioplasty-stents/): Angioplasty & Stents - Angioplasty is a procedure used to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. These blood vessels are called the coronary arteries. Arteries can become narrowed or blocked by deposits called plaque. Plaque is made up of fat and cholesterol that build up on the inside of the artery walls. - [Holter Monitors](https://missionrmc.org/services/cardiology/holter-monitors/): Holter Monitors - A Holter monitor is an external device that continuously records the rhythm of your heart for a set period of time, usually 24 hours. The monitor is meant to be worn while you complete your regular, daily activities. The advantage of wearing a Holter monitor is that it is able to track any changes in your heart that randomly occur, like changes that might not be present at the time of your doctor’s visit. When a symptom occurs while wearing the Holter monitor, you can press an event button on the recorder so that time is marked for your doctor to review. - [Heart Catheterization](https://missionrmc.org/services/cardiology/cath-lab/heart-catheterization/): ### - [Digital EKG](https://missionrmc.org/services/cardiology/cath-lab/digital-ekg/): Digital EKG - Mission Regional uses modern diagnostic technology with digital electrocardiograms or EKGs.

Here are 10 of the most common myths and the truth about breast cancer: - [Mammotome Biopsy](https://missionrmc.org/services/breast-care-center/mammotome-biopsy/): Because most lumps are not cancerous, your physician will try to minimize the process involved in diagnosing the lump. The Mammotome biopsy is a great biopsy option because it doesn’t take long and the patient can carry on with their daily activities immediately after the biopsy is complete. - [Bone Density Testing](https://missionrmc.org/services/breast-care-center/bone-density-testing/): Bone Density Testing - Bone density tests, commonly called DEXA Scans, measure how much calcium and other types of minerals are in an area of your bone. This test helps your healthcare clinician detect osteoporosis and predict your risk of bone fractures. - [Breast MRIs](https://missionrmc.org/services/breast-care-center/breast-mris/): Breast MRIs - A breast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is an imaging test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the breast and surrounding tissue. It does not use radiation (x-rays). A breast MRI can be done in combination with mammography or ultrasound. A breast MRI does not replace a mammogram. It does, however, offer a clear picture of parts of the breast that are hard to see any other way. - [Breast Ultrasound](https://missionrmc.org/services/breast-care-center/breast-ultrasound/): Also known as a sonogram, a breast ultrasound will provide a look inside the breast at the tissue. It’s painless and there are no side effects. The ultrasound is used to help show non-cancerous growths such as: - [Mammograms](https://missionrmc.org/services/breast-care-center/mammograms/): Mammograms can also be used to check for breast cancer after a lump or other sign or symptom of the disease has been found. This type of mammogram is called a diagnostic mammogram. A diagnostic mammogram can also be used to evaluate changes found during a screening mammogram or to view breast tissue when it is difficult to obtain a screening mammogram because of special circumstances, such as the presence of breast implants. - [Gastrointestinal (GI)](https://missionrmc.org/services/gastrointestinal-gi/): The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), a leading gastrointestinal medical society, has recognized Mission Regional Medical Center as part of its program specifically dedicated to promoting quality and safety in endoscopy. - [Cath Lab](https://missionrmc.org/services/cardiology/cath-lab/): Mission Regional Medical Center’s Cardiac Catheterization (Cath) Laboratory represents our commitment to helping our patients win their battles against heart disease.
