Treatments & Services
Many medical conditions require that the physician observe the body’s
internal structures in order to make an accurate diagnosis. At Jupiter
Medical Center, our team of experienced radiologists have access to leading-edge
imaging technology that allows us to see inside a patient without an invasive
surgery. Imaging devices create detailed images or, in some cases, real
time video footage of areas the doctor needs to examine before moving
ahead with treatment. These procedures are extremely safe and allow doctors
to make important decisions more quickly.
Imaging-Assisted Treatments
In addition to their diagnostic purposes, imaging services can also be
used for various medical treatments. A popular form of imaging-assisted
treatment is minimally invasive surgery. In these operations, surgeons
use real time video feed from an imaging device to perform surgery. Instead
of cutting a patient completely open, the doctor can use the image technology
to make small, strategic incisions and guide the procedure using the nearby
monitor. Imaging can also be used to determine the effectiveness of a
patient’s treatment by observing their body’s internal changes
over time.
