24/7 Mobile Radiology Services
Alpha One Imaging offers 24/7 mobile radiology services, providing high-quality, low-dose x-ray imaging throughout Louisiana. X-rays are non-invasive tests that help in diagnosing and treating medical conditions by exposing part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to generate internal images. The company’s radiologists analyze these images and provide signed reports to the ordering facility or clinician. Alpha One’s services are highly accessible, catering to patients in nursing homes, industrial plants, correctional facilities, or those unable to move. Their digital files are stored electronically and can be accessed online by the ordering facility for real-time quality control. The company's x-ray systems use controlled x-ray beams and dose control methods to minimize radiation exposure, aligning with updated standards from national and international radiology protection organizations. These measures ensure minimal radiation exposure to non-imaged body parts, maintaining high safety standards.Alpha One specializes in 24/7 mobile radiology services. We provide fast, low-dose, high-quality x-ray imaging right here in Louisiana.
An x-ray is a non-invasive medical test that helps diagnose and treat medical conditions. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. A radiologist, will analyze the images and send a signed report to the ordering facility/clinician.
Our digital files are stored electronically and accessible online to the ordering facility/clinician. They may also have online access to real-time quality control reporting.
We will visit the patient at their location, whether a nursing home, industrial plant, correctional institution, or if the patient in general is unable to move.
Special care is taken during our mobile x-ray examinations to use the lowest radiation dose possible while producing the best images for evaluation. National and international radiology protection organizations continually review and update the technique standards used by radiology professionals.
Our modern x-ray systems have very controlled x-ray beams and dose control methods to minimize stray (scatter) radiation. This ensures that those parts of a patient’s body not being imaged receive minimal radiation exposure.
We are proud to be a fully DR portable imaging company which means…
- Less Processing Time
- Highest-Quality Images
- Patient Safety- DR machines have finely-tuned sensors that require lower amounts of radiation to produce high-quality images.
