The Diagnostic Imaging Department provides inpatient and outpatient radiology studies utilizing leading edge technology including nuclear medicine, fluoroscopic exams, ultrasound, mammography, computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone density measurement, and interventional radiology.

Natividad’s Imaging Department is nationally certified by the American College of Radiology in nuclear medicine, mammography, computerized tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The Diagnostic Imaging Department is committed to achieving ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) to reduce the amount of ionizing a patient receives from imaging procedures.  The department uses nationally recognized protocols from the American College of Radiology to achieve the lowest dose possible, while providing the highest quality of imaging.

The Interventional Radiology (IR) Department provides minimally invasive procedures and pre- and post-procedure patient care for inpatient and outpatients of Natividad. The use of multiple imaging methods (such as fluoroscopy, computerized tomography and ultrasound) allows our interventional radiologist to diagnose and treat conditions of the thorax, abdomen, pelvis and extremities. Therapies can include angioplasty, embolization, drainage, stent placement, and thrombus management, among others. The IR Department works in collaboration with the Natividad Trauma team and Surgical Services to provide immediate medical care for patients experiencing traumatic injuries.

Registered nurses of the IR Department provide vascular access assistance to include ultrasound guided peripheral vascular and peripherally inserted central catheter access.

Rehabilitation Services
Outpatient rehabilitation services are provided for patients on a referral basis, including physical, occupational, and speech-language therapies. Rehabilitation services provide evaluation and treatment for all ages and physical disabilities. The goal of these services is to restore, maintain and improve the patient’s optimum level of self-care, responsibility, independence and quality of life after experiencing an injury or illness.

We also have an inpatient program for patients who need more intensive rehabilitation. These services are offered through the Sam Karas Acute Rehabilitation Center.
