CT and MRI Scans at Carolinas Center for Surgery

Patients sometimes need a CT or MRI scan done in order for a doctor to more accurately diagnose a disease or an injury. At Carolinas Center for Surgery, we provide in-house imaging and radiology services — so you don’t have to travel elsewhere to receive a quick MRI or CT scan.

If you’re in the Jacksonville, Morehead City, or Swansboro area and you need a CT or MRI scan, look no further than Carolinas Center for Surgery. We are accredited for CT and MRI by the American College of Radiology (ACR), which means we meet the highest level of patient safety standards and image quality.

CT Scans

A CT (computed tomography) scan uses a combination of X-rays to produce detailed images of the inside of your body. At our main office location in Morehead City, we have a GE Brightspeed Elite 16 – Slice CT scanner that:

  • Delivers high-resolution imaging
  • Provides exceptional beam power
  • Makes for quick and easy visits

For those seeking a lung cancer screening in Morehead City, NC, our office now offers low dose CT scans. Patients who need low-dose imagery can schedule a same-day appointment at Carolinas Center for Surgery instead of waiting weeks to get a screening at the local hospital.

CT-Scan

MRI

We also have an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) vehicle that comes to our office a few times a week. An MRI scan provides pictures of the inside of your body to monitor treatments and to diagnose existing injuries or complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I know about radiation safety?

To ensure your safety during a radiology procedure, ask your physician the following questions:
