Spine Team Texas provides on-site diagnostic testing in many circumstances. These procedures involve examinations aimed at identifying an individual’s strengths and weaknesses to diagnose specific conditions, diseases, or illnesses.
An MRI scan allows doctors to visualize internal structures without radiation, using magnets and radio waves instead. MRI provides clear views of soft tissues and can detect conditions such as cancer. If we determine that you require this test to assess your condition, we will refer you to one of our trusted diagnostic partners to ensure the most accurate insights into your health.
An X-ray is a quick, painless test that produces images of the structures inside your body — particularly your bones. If we need this test to assess your condition, we have an onsite X-ray suite where our technician can collect the films needed for our evaluation of your condition.
A CT scan allows doctors to view internal structures by taking x-ray images from multiple angles, which are then combined to create clear cross-sectional slices of the body. Unlike a typical x-ray, a CT scan provides detailed views that can reveal conditions such as cancer and other health issues. If we determine that you need this test to assess your condition, we will refer you to one of our preferred diagnostic partners to ensure the most accurate insights into your health.
Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test that evaluates the health of muscles and nerves, typically consisting of two parts: a nerve conduction study and a needle electromyogram. These results can assist your doctor in identifying issues associated with specific disorders or conditions. Should this test be necessary for assessing your condition, we have several physicians on staff who specialize in performing EMG tests, available at any of our clinic locations.
