Department of Imaging Services at Western
We have one mission: to help you fight cancer. The Imaging team at CTCA at Western Regional Medical Center (Western) uses sophisticated, minimally invasive diagnostic technology to detect cancer cells with precision and accuracy. This helps us develop a targeted treatment plan from the start.
When you first visit our hospital, we will complete an array of diagnostic tests to accurately locate and stage the disease. Then, we’ll work with you and your caregivers to develop a comprehensive, fully-integrated treatment plan that best suits your needs.
We understand that waiting for test results can be stressful. As the nation’s first and only all-digital cancer center, we provide diagnostic imaging exams both within the Department of Imaging Services and at your bedside, depending on the tests ordered. We are able to provide test results in minutes to hours, dramatically reducing wait times.
Your entire care team has instant access to the results, allowing them to quickly and seamlessly coordinate care. Throughout your treatment, we will utilize the latest technology to track the disease, and modify the plan based on your response.
