Women can experience a variety of conditions that significantly affect their wellbeing. Some, like menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, are considered normal stages of development and reproduction that must be monitored to maintain optimal health and overall quality of life. Others, like osteoporosis, reproductive organ anomalies, and certain cancers, require preventative screening to ensure immediate treatment and the best possible outcomes. Screening and diagnostic imaging are important tools to support women's health and minimize the possibility of developing serious illnesses.
At Valley Radiology, we offer state-of-the-art diagnostic screening and medical imaging technologies that allow us to identify a broad spectrum of concerns that can lead to significant medical issues. Woman's imaging offers numerous benefits to both patients and healthcare providers, including:
- Pregnancy monitoring: Obstetric ultrasounds are conducted on pregnant women to track their babies' growth. The results of the sonogram allow the clinician to identify and diagnose potential concerns that could influence the development of the fetus and the health of the mother.
- Accurate, fast results: Patients and clinicians can obtain the results of different screenings quickly and with a high degree of accuracy. This empowers healthcare providers with the information necessary to prescribe treatments and corrective measures early, giving patients the best possible opportunity for recovery.
- Targeted diagnostic processes: Women's imaging allows clinicians to perform screenings on a particular part of the anatomy in a minimally invasive way. Women’s diagnostic screening at Valley Radiology offers patients the tools, support, and resources necessary to clearly identify medical anomalies after a single screening without requiring multiple tests.

Bone Density Testing
While both men and women can lose bone density over time, women are especially susceptible to osteoporosis after menopause. Valley Radiology offers DEXA scanning services that provide a crystal-clear picture of your bone health, giving your physician the specific information necessary to identify bone loss and administer effective treatment.
Breast Services
Nearly 13% of American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lives, according to data from the National Cancer Institute. Valley Radiology offers highly precise screening services that allow women and their healthcare providers to identify anomalies early, significantly improving outcomes.
The women’s imaging services for breast screening include:
Pelvic Services
Pelvic ultrasound imaging monitors the health and viability of the organ systems located in the pelvis and lower abdomen. Pelvic imaging is employed to assess reproductive and urinary organ health. The procedure also identifies vascular abnormalities in the pelvis that can extend to the tops of the legs.
The majority of imaging procedures are nonsurgical and noninvasive, though ultrasound imaging is used in tandem with guided needle biopsies. Pelvic imaging offers a highly detailed picture of tissues that cannot be seen via standard X-ray imaging, allowing your medical team to easily visualize potential concerns that are often missed during traditional examinations. Pelvic imaging services include:
