Radiology

Patients of all ages benefit from our ultrasound, CAT scans (CT), x-rays, MRI and bone density (DEXA) exams.

We offer computerized imaging which stores digital records of your studies, easily accessed by a medical provider, regardless of their location. If your doctor has access to the internet, we can make your latest radiology exam available for their use.

Additionally our innovative partnerships with regional radiological service providers save you both time and money.

X-Ray
Our x-ray team is made up of 5 experienced technologists, happy to provide excellent care to our patients. The department is open to walk-ins, with a physician's order, from 7am to 6pm Monday through Friday.

Ultrasound
Our ultrasound technologist, Kathleen Walker, is RDMS and RDCS certified and available 4 days a week for your ultrasound needs. From abdominal to OB, vascular to small parts; Syringa is able to offer a long list of ultrasound exams, many times on the same day as your doctor’s appointment.
​

CT Scan
Syringa Hospital & Clinics (SHC) is pleased to announce the acquisition and installation of a new state-of-the-art 64 row, 128 slice Toshiba CT scanner.  Using Toshiba’s newest technology (AIDR 3D and VELO CT software), the upgrade will result in the lowest radiation dose capabilities in northern Idaho and, at a minimum, matches the low dose CT systems in the Spokane area.  This new system reduces the radiation dose to the patient by more than 50%, pediatric scans by up to 80%, and decreases time to perform the exam by 65% or more from the current scanner at SHC. The 128 slice CT creates a radiation dose protocol specific to the patient and exam, helping to eliminate unnecessary exposure.

Bone Density (DEXA) exams
Syringa Hospital & Clinics is happy to provide quality DEXA evaluations. Schedule your Bone Density exam at your convenience, any Thursday (exceptions may be made if necessary for another weekday). 

Mammogram
St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center provides state of the art digital mammograms regularly in its mobile office on the Syringa Hospital campus.
