WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT?
Patients should actively seek information about medical imaging because it plays a crucial role in diagnosis and treatment. Firstly, understanding the various types of medical imaging is essential. Radiography, such as X-rays, captures images of bones and can identify fractures, while computed tomography (CT) scans provide detailed cross-sectional views of various body parts. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) serves a valuable purpose in evaluating soft tissue, while healthcare providers frequently employ ultrasounds to image internal organs and monitor pregnancies.
Patients should also know the importance of preparation for certain imaging procedures. For instance, fasting may be necessary before certain tests like abdominal ultrasound or CT scans to ensure clear images. Furthermore, patients need to be aware of potential risks associated with imaging procedures. While X-rays and CT scans involve minimal radiation exposure, it’s important to discuss these risks with healthcare providers, especially for pregnant patients.
Moreover, patients should understand the significance of following instructions and informing healthcare professionals about allergies, pregnancy, or any previous adverse reactions to contrast agents used in some imaging procedures.
Additionally, patients should be aware of the role of medical imaging in monitoring treatment progress. Follow-up scans can track changes in the size or behavior of tumors or injuries.
Patients should take an active role in engaging with their healthcare providers to ensure they receive comprehensive information about the specific imaging procedures they may undergo, the necessary preparations, potential risks involved, and the vital role that imaging plays in their journey of diagnosis and treatment. This active engagement empowers patients, enabling them to make informed decisions and gain a deeper understanding of their medical conditions.
MRI'S
MRIs can detect brain disorders, spinal cord injuries, joint and ligament damage, heart disease, and tumors. They are also used to evaluate conditions in the liver, kidneys, uterus, and other soft tissues. Because MRIs provide exceptional detail, they’re often ordered for complex or hard-to-diagnose cases.
Most MRI scans can be performed using headphones for greater patient comfort. Learn more here.
Advanced Imaging. Affordable Care.
At Tanner Clinic, you’ll receive advanced MRI imaging with the same accuracy and precision, but at a much lower cost. Bring your provider’s order and see the difference in care, comfort, and savings at up to 70% less than hospitals.
CT SCANS
A CT (computed tomography) scan uses targeted x-rays to produce cross-section images of the body. Tanner Clinic offers a wide variety of CT and CTA scans to offer insight into many areas of the body, including:
- Chest
- Abdomen
- Pelvis
- Head, neck, spine and extremities
CT scans are performed by a CT-certified technologist. CT scans are useful in detecting fractures, blood clots, infections, and tumors. They can also help identify internal bleeding, assess the extent of injuries after trauma, or diagnose conditions affecting the lungs, heart, or digestive system. In many cases, CT scans are used to quickly guide treatment in urgent situations.
All advanced diagnostic imaging services at Tanner Clinic are certified by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) in both MRIs and CT scans, confirming the clinic’s commitment to quality patient care. Learn more here.
Clear Answers. Clear Savings.
Hospital CT scans often come with hospital-sized bills. Tanner Clinic gives you the same high-quality results at up to 50% cheaper than hospitals. Ask your doctor to send your order to Tanner Clinic or bring it in yourself.
ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound is often used to monitor pregnancy, detect gallstones, examine the liver or kidneys, and evaluate blood vessels. It can also be used to check for thyroid issues, guide biopsies, and investigate causes of abdominal or pelvic pain. Because ultrasounds show movement, they are especially helpful for viewing how blood flows through the body. Learn more here.
Less Cost. More Care.
Whether it’s for pregnancy, injury, or diagnostic needs, Tanner Clinic offers the same advanced ultrasound imaging you’d find in a hospital, but at up to 40% less than hospitals. Bring your imaging order to Tanner Clinic today.
X-RAYS
An X-ray is a safe and effective imaging tool that uses a small amount of radiation to create clear pictures of bones, organs, and other internal structures. At Tanner Clinic, X-rays are used to help providers diagnose injuries, detect illnesses, and guide treatment decisions. Because they are quick, painless, and widely available, X-rays remain one of the most valuable tools in modern medicine for delivering answers when patients need them most. Learn more here.

When you need answers fast, Tanner Clinic delivers. Our same-day X-rays are simple, accurate, and cost-effective which saves you time and up to 80% less compared to hospitals.
MAMMOGRAPHY
Mammograms are most often used to detect breast cancer at its earliest stages, sometimes even before symptoms appear. They can also help diagnose noncancerous conditions such as cysts, calcifications, or benign tumors. If you have a family history of breast cancer, your provider may recommend starting screenings earlier. Learn more about our mammography department here.
