This advanced imaging technology is commonly used to produce clear and detailed images of bones, allowing for the accurate diagnosis of breaks, fractures, and other skeletal issues. At Chan Soon-Shiong Medical Center at Windber, near Johnstown, our state-of-the-art digital X-ray services ensure precise and efficient imaging, providing essential information for effective treatment planning.
