Some of the most dramatic advances in medical technology are occurring in the areas of diagnostic imaging and Sutter Amador Hospital's (SAH) Radiology Department houses some of the best. This technology helps physicians diagnose and treat illness and injury and provides patients with the convenience of receiving these tests within the community.

In 2006, SAH replaced film imaging with 100 percent digital imaging technology. This allows greater clarity of images and provides physicians and nurses with on-demand digital images in real time.

Along with X-ray, fluoroscopy, IVP procedures and swallow studies, other services provided are:

• A fully digitalized mammography room -- making SAH among the first hospitals to offer this level of diagnostic testing in Northern California
  
• Permanent, on-site magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  
• Nuclear medicine
  
• General and diagnostic cardiac ultrasound
  
• 16-slice CT scan with enhanced cardiac capabilities, virtual colonoscopy and improved vascular imaging
  
• Bone density testing equipment
