Protocol for CT - These exams are unique and must be protocoled before they are scheduled. Patients are advised to call or come in the next business day to confirm whether or not we are capable of performing the exam at Naval Health Clinic Cherry Point, or if we need to send them to an outside provider. Patients scheduled to have a CT at NHCCP are given appointment-specific instructions upon scheduling their exam.
Diagnostic Imaging (X-ray)
Radiography, or as it is most commonly known, X-ray, is the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. Radiographic imaging includes but is not limited to bones, joints, chest, gastrointestinal tract, spine, and kidneys. Radiologic technologists are trained in radiation safety and patient safety. If a patient is pregnant, or could be pregnant, it is important they inform the technologist prior to any exams that omit ionizing radiation.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound or sonography, is a method of obtaining images from inside the human body through the use of sound waves. The reflected sound wave echoes are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image. No ionizing radiation is involved in ultrasound imaging.
We perform a multitude of exams including:
-
Right Upper Quadrant
- Abdominal Ultrasound
- Thyroid
- Abdominal Superficial Lesions
- Pelvic/GYN
- Kidney/Bladder
- Testicular/Scrotal
- Lower Extremity Doppler (DVT)
Protocol for Ultrasound – Patients scheduled to have an Ultrasound at NHCCP are given appointment specific instructions upon scheduling their exam. Ultrasounds are a very unique exam in that most of the exams require patient privacy. Only the patient is allowed in the ultrasound room, and with pediatric patients only one guardian is allowed with the patient.
