As the population ages, the need for medical services increases and Riverside Medical Clinic is gearing up to meet the increased demand for preventative and diagnostic radiology. With the opening of our new main clinic facility on Brockton Avenue, we've enhanced our Nuclear Medicine capabilities, important for cardiology procedures, we've added a PET Scan for cancer detection, and upgraded our MRI. And now we have the only 64-slice CT in the Inland Empire. Our PACS digital imaging system improves the timeliness of care and treatment by making images available to all members of the the care team instantly.

Riverside Medical Clinic's Radiology department has several locations to add to your convenience. Along with the Brockton Avenue clinic, Canyon Springs, Corona, and Jurupa Valley can provide your physician with the needed x-ray. Appointments may be necessary for certain procedures.

Riverside Medical Clinic is one of the few clinics in the area to have an on-site Dexa Bone Mineral Density scanner. The scanner is a low radiation method of measuring how much calcium is in the bones, and is used primarily in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. The diagnosis is painless and patients may usually complete it within ten minutes without removing their clothing.

Other services provided in our Radiology department are ultrasound and mammography. Most patients relate ultrasounds to our obstetric patients, but we also provide pelvic, abdominal and liver ultrasounds. To get more information on the different types of x-rays, search Encarta.com.
