The Bellaire-area Memorial Hermann Imaging Center has relocated to the UTHealth Houston Professional Building and upgraded its technology and equipment.

The details

Formerly located in a suite at the Offices at Pin Oak Park, the new location is designed with an "emphasis on providing both advanced imaging technology and patient-centered care," said Teal Holden, senior vice president of ambulatory services, post-acute care and community health for Memorial Hermann Health System, in an April 2 news release.

The imaging center's services include X-rays, mammograms, ultrasounds, colonoscopy's and CT scans, per its website.

"From faster, more comfortable MRIs to X-rays and everything in-between, our team is committed to delivering a wide range of high-quality, efficient and accurate imaging services for all Houstonians," Holden said in a statement.


Zooming in

According to the release, the new imaging center's upgraded equipment includes:
  • Advanced computed tomography, or CT, technology—this includes one-beat cardiac scanning that can capture a complete image of the heart within a single heartbeat, enabling accurate imaging even in individuals with irregular heart rhythms or high heart rates.
  • New magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, technology—which have a wide-bore design that offers more room inside the scanner, as well as feet-first scanning options to further patient comfort and reduce anxiety.
  • Advanced X-ray technology—featuring advanced applications for bone and spine imaging ideal for scoliosis exams.
  • Ultrasound technology—including shear wave elastography for a non-invasive assessment of conditions, such as liver fibrosis.
  • C-arm imaging—a mobile fluoroscopic X-ray system
  • Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, or DEXA, bone scans
