Why Vidant?

• We're mobile. If the technology needs to come to you, we can do that. Most hospitals have portable radiology and imaging equipment if your condition makes it difficult for you to leave your room.
• We offer Open MRI. Children, claustrophobic people and obese patients sometimes have difficulty with MRI scans. Vidant Health has two Open MRI machines. This equipment offers more space during the scans, easing discomfort for those who are overweight and anxiety for claustrophobic patients. 
• 3-D mammography is here. 3D mammography takes imaging a step further. The scanner uses a low-dose short X-ray sweep around the positioned breast with nine exposures. Taking images from various angles reduces blur and increased sharpness, which improves doctors’ ability to detect small tumors and reduce false scares.
