Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic Tools Where You Receive Care
GuideWell Emergency Doctors offers imaging capabilities commonly associated with hospital emergency departments. Your physician determines which study is appropriate, and results help guide treatment, referral, or follow-up decisions.
Imaging Services Available
The West Tampa clinic provides several types of diagnostic imaging to investigate symptoms, injuries, and medical conditions.
• Complex CT scans and chest CT
• Digital and chest X-rays
• Ultrasound examinations
• Radiologist-interpreted results
What Imaging Can Help Detect
Depending on the clinical question, imaging may help identify internal problems that cannot be confirmed through a physical examination alone.
• Complex fractures and injuries
• Pneumonia and emphysema
• Internal bleeding and blood clots
• Concussion and pregnancy complications
Imaging Designed Around the Clinical Question
Every study is selected to help answer a specific medical concern and support the right treatment decision.
Conditions Imaging May Help Evaluate
Diagnostic studies can provide useful information across emergency, urgent, and pediatric visits.
Chest and Lung Concerns
Chest imaging may help evaluate pneumonia, emphysema, pulmonary embolism, and other breathing-related problems.
Injuries and Fractures
X-ray and CT imaging can help assess complex fractures, internal injuries, head injuries, and trauma-related concerns.
Neurologic Concerns
Imaging may support evaluation of concussion, stroke, intracranial bleeding, and related symptoms when clinically indicated.
Vascular and Pregnancy Concerns
Selected studies can assist with evaluation of DVT, internal bleeding, and first-trimester pregnancy complications.
