Explore our range of advanced diagnostic imaging techniques below.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

An MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, is a powerful diagnostic tool that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the structures within your body. This non-invasive procedure can be particularly helpful in diagnosing conditions like lower back pain, providing a clear view of your spine and surrounding tissues without the need for surgery. By identifying abnormalities such as herniated discs, spinal cord compression, or other potential causes of your discomfort, an MRI enables us to develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at alleviating your pain and enhancing your wellness.

Please note that MRI scans are only available on-site at our St. Peters location with Rayus, our partner in care.  This is not a service owned or provided by Advanced Bone & Joint. Our orthopedic physicians may provide an order for an off-site MRI scan at other locations.

Computed Tomography (CT)

Computed tomography (CT) scans are sophisticated diagnostic procedures that utilizes X-ray technology to produce comprehensive, detailed images of your body's structures. This non-invasive method can be instrumental in diagnosing conditions causing shoulder pain and more. It allows us to visualize the complex anatomy of the shoulder, including the bones, joints, and even soft tissues. With the help of a CT scan, our team can detect issues such as fractures, dislocations, or more intricate conditions like rotator cuff tears and labral injuries. This valuable insight guides us in creating a tailored treatment plan to alleviate your discomfort and restore your mobility.

Orthopedic X-Ray Imaging

X-ray imaging is a fundamental tool in orthopedic care. Most commonly associated with diagnosing broken bones or fractures, X-ray imaging also plays a critical role in procedures such as total hip replacements. This trusted technology allows us to view the structure of your hip joint in detail, giving us an invaluable perspective before, during, and after your procedure. Our orthopedic surgeons leverage this robust tool with confidence and precision, delivering compassionate care that prioritizes your wellness and recovery.

X-ray imaging is available at all three of our locations in O’Fallon, Wentzville, and St. Peters, Missouri. Please note that C-arm X-rays are only available at our O’Fallon office.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging is a versatile and essential tool in our strategy for providing joint relief. This technology uses sound waves to create real-time, detailed images of your body's internal structures, including muscles, tendons, and joints. When it comes to delivering treatments directly to the source of your pain, ultrasound guided injections are a game changer. They allow us to precisely target the exact area that needs attention, ensuring that the medication is delivered where it can be most effective. This precision not only enhances the effectiveness of the treatment but also reduces any potential discomfort or side effects.

Ultrasound services are available at all three of our locations in O’Fallon, Wentzville, and St. Peters, Missouri.
