Coming soon - 3D Mammography!
St. Vincent Health will be opening 3D Mammography in 2025. Please check back for more information. The Mammography equipment was fully funded by a grant from the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing - Rural Stimulus Funds. We are excited to bring state-of-the-art mammography to Leadville.
Ultrasound
Very high-frequency sound waves produce an image of many of the internal structures of the body. This procedure is painless and produces very precise images of certain parts of the body. We offer obstetrics imaging, abdominal imaging, vascular, arteriovenous fistula surveillance and assessment, vein mapping, and more.
CT or CAT Scan
A computerized tomography (CT) scan combines a series of x-ray images around the body and viewed at different angles to output cross-sectional images of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues in the body. The benefit of a CT scan is that it provides more detailed information than a simple x-ray.
A CT scan is used to visualize nearly all parts of the body and is used to diagnose disease or injury, or for informing medical, surgical, or radiation treatment.
CT Low Dose Chest Scan
A low-dose computerized tomography (LDCT) scan of the lungs can detect signs of lung cancer. Lung cancer screening is recommended for older adults who are longtime smokers and who don’t have any signs or symptoms of lung cancer. Early detection increases the probability of curing lung cancer with treatment.
X-Ray
An x-ray is a short, painless exam that produces images of bones and other structures inside the body. Walk-ins for x-rays are welcome with a provider’s order.
