Radiology Services
What is Radiology?
Radiology (also known as "imaging") is an area of medicine that enables physicians to "see" inside the human body in order to diagnose and monitor disease. Radiology covers a wide range of techniques including CT, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and interventional radiology.
We pride ourselves on customer service, technical expertise and superior quality. We are empathetic and work at MVH because we truly care about our community and the healthcare of those we serve. We understand that you have a choice on where to go for imaging services, and we hope that you will choose Mountain View Hospital .
Radiology Technologists
Providing advanced services close to home
All of our Imaging services are performed by Radiologic Technologists that have received registry status through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). They are also licensed through the state of Oregon as technologists. Most of our staff also achieved advanced certifications and licensures in other imaging modalities to further specialize their technical expertise.
Our Imaging services are interpreted by board certified, sub-specialty trained, Radiologists through Central Oregon Radiology Associates (CORA). CORA physicians interpret images from Central and Eastern Oregon using a state of the art pictorial archiving communication system (PACS).These Radiologists pride themselves on delivering high quality interpretations in a timely manner, which allows your immediate healthcare provider to plan your course of care faster.

Our imaging department uses advanced diagnostic equipment to handle all imaging needs. We offer Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM), CT scanning with CARE dose, which protects our patients from unnecessary dose, and a 8 channel 1.5T MRI system

Why should I have my imaging exam done at an accredited facility?
When you see the gold seals of accreditation prominently displayed in our imaging facility, you can be sure that you are in a facility that meets standards for imaging quality and safety. Look for the ACR Gold Seals of Accreditation.
To achieve the ACR Gold Standard of Accreditation, our facility's personnel qualifications, equipment requirements, quality assurance, and quality control procedures have gone through a rigorous review process and have met specific qualifications. It's important for patients to know that every aspect of the ACR accreditation process is overseen by board-certified, expert radiologists and medical physicists in advanced diagnostic imaging.
