Ferry County Health Radiology

About Us

Our Technologists work closely with our Radiologists to make sure your exam is tailored specifically to your needs. These Radiologists employed by Inland Imaging review all imaging studies and produce a written report to your provider usually the same day your study is completed.

Our Digital Image Storage System (Stentor) allows us to share your images instantly with over 80 surrounding facilities in Washington and Idaho. Your images are also available on CD upon request.

All this means that no matter where you go or what specialists you see, your images are always available. If you have any questions or need to schedule an appointment, please call 509-775-8233.

We gladly accept orders from outside facilities.

CT (Computed Tomography)

Our up-to-date Philips 64 Slice CT scanner is operated by experienced Philips Trained Technologists. This technology allows us to offer superior image quality with extremely short scan times. Our scanner is equipped with Dose Modulation software that measures each patient’s thickness and density to deliver just enough radiation to produce a quality image. We have pediatric specific protocols to ensure that all children are Imaged Gently. Producing high quality images with the lowest amount of radiation dose possible is our top priority. Please feel free to call our office directly with any questions you may have regarding CT.

MRI

MRI services are available Monday–Friday at Ferry County Memorial Hospital. These services are provided by Ferry County Health staff in our MRI trailer. For any questions or to schedule an exam, please call the Imaging Department at 509-775-8233.

Radiography (X-ray)

Our Imaging Department is equipped with DR (Digital Radiography) X-ray to offer quick and accurate results to your provider. DR technology captures your x-rays in a digital format which can be stored on our computer system and sent to virtually any facility. With this capability, we can send your images to a Radiologist in Spokane, have them read, and have a report back to your provider usually within an hour. We are also able to burn your images onto a CD so you can bring them to a provider who may not be able to access your images digitally.

Bone Density

We offer Bone Density Testing Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm. Are you at risk? Osteoporosis can develop in anyone. There are some risk factors that make you more susceptible:

• Over 50

Please talk to your healthcare provider to see if you should schedule a Bone Density test. A simple test today could prevent life threatening fractures in the future.
