Radiology

The Truman Medical Centers Medical Imaging Department provides high quality, comprehensive, and compassionate patient care. Our department provides services 24-hours-per-day, seven-days-a-week. We offer

• Siemens Digital mammography, which, in addition to providing standard 2D mammography images, also enables our radiologists to perform breast biopsies. We provide walk-in mammography services Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 11:00 am and 1:00 to 3:00 pm.
  
  
• University Health Medical Imaging, just down the street at 2101 Charlotte Street, is an extension of our department, and provides Siemens 3D Digital Mammography.
