How do I schedule an appointment?

To schedule an appointment is easy! Just call 423-522-6320 with your name, date of birth and physician's name.

When scheduling your appointment, you will be informed of what you will need to do the day of your exam. Most services allow you to wear your normal clothing, but may require you not to wear metal or jewelry and in some cases deodorant or lotion.

On the date of your exam, you will need to arrive at least 20 minutes early. You may enter through the main entrance of the hospital beside of the emergency room entrance and you must register at the Admissions desk. Admissions will then inform the Radiology department of your arrival and someone from the Radiology department will come and get you when it is time for your exam.

Customer service is one of our top priorities. Visitors and patients can expect to receive a warm greeting upon arrival and through every step of your journey here at Lakeway Regional Hospital.

*A physician referral is usually required for most imaging services.

 

Advanced MRI Technology, Right Where You Need It

 

In 2010, we upgraded our MRI equipment to better serve our patients and physicians with advanced technology. The new MRI machine uses sophisticated technology to generate images with advanced resolution and clinical detail for physicians.

 

Built to increase patient comfort, the ultra-short opening of the MRI provides ample room for patients to feel more comfortable during exams. A wider opening means more room between the patient and the machine itself reducing the claustrophobic feeling close quaters can create. The MRI system's integrated coil system means many exams can be performed feet firts further improving patient comfort.

 

The new sound technology dramatically reduces acoustic noise, the most significant cause of patient discomfort during an MRI exam. Instead of the loud pounding other MRI systems produce, the sound the patient will hear is more like a gentle tapping.

 

Offering an array of features that boost image quality and patient care, this MRI helps patients have a better MRI experience and gives physicians better results.

 

Advanced features include:

 

Ultra-short, ultra-wide opening                                                                                                                                

Table flexibility and adjustable table height

Noise reduction technology

Quicker processing

Bone Densitometry

Osteoporosis is often called the "silent disease." Signs are rare until a lot of bone has been lost. Osteoporosis also can result in a crippling and painful fracture, occuring most often in the hip, back or wrist.

At Lakeway Regional Hospital, we are so pleased to be able to offer our patients full bone densitometry scans.

A bone densitometer measures bone mineral density (BMD). The amount of bone mineral relates directly to bone strength. The bone denitometer is a large, padded and comfortable examination table. The exam is painless and typicall takes one to 10 minutes. You will just need to lie still and breath normally.  

A bone densitometry test helps doctors diagnose osteoporosis and guage your risk of osteoporatic fractures. The bone densitometry test is also useful in following bone changes. The bone densitometer can monitor the effects of age, diet or treatments on your bone status.
