Services
3T MRI
Our 3T MRI uses high-field strength technology to produce detailed images of organs, tissues, and bone structures. This advanced system enables faster scan times and superior image quality, aiding in early diagnosis of conditions like tumors, joint injuries, and neurological disorders. Patients benefit from shorter exams and enhanced comfort due to the machine's open design and reduced noise levels.
3D Mammography
3D mammography captures multiple images of breast tissue to detect abnormalities that traditional 2D scans might miss. This technology improves cancer detection rates, especially in dense breast tissue, and reduces false positives. Our Siemens High Definition Breast Tomosynthesis system ensures precise, low-dose imaging for both screening and diagnostic purposes.
Low-Dose CT
Our low-dose CT scans use advanced spiral technology to deliver high-resolution images with minimal radiation exposure. Ideal for lung cancer screening and abdominal imaging, this service provides quick, accurate diagnoses while prioritizing patient safety. The Siemens Emotion scanner ensures tailored radiation doses based on individual body types.
Bone Densitometry
DXA scans measure bone mineral density to diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk. Using dual-energy X-ray technology, we provide precise T-scores and Z-scores to monitor bone health over time. The exam is quick, non-invasive, and critical for patients with risk factors like menopause or long-term steroid use.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of internal organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues. Our 3D breast ultrasound and vascular studies offer non-radiation-based diagnostics for conditions like cysts, fibroids, and circulatory issues. Exams are painless, require minimal preparation, and deliver immediate results for timely treatment decisions.

I chose Capital Imaging because of the open MRI. Staff greeted me on arrival and conducted a friendly, private sign in process. The tech was very friendly and professional. So glad my doctor referred me to Capital Imaging!

Clean, easy to get to, friendly staff. The TV in the waiting room was too loud but that seems so common these days.

Capital Imaging Latham is the class of the field. I have been to quite a few other imaging facilities and none compare with the efficiency of this place. They are very organized and very responsive to requests. The staff is very friendly and answer all questions put to them.

Report
I've been coming here for my imaging care for at least 10 years, and never had a bad experience. The staff is professional and patient, which tough when every patient is anxious and some quietly hysterical. They handle them well, from what I've seen, as every test, even just a regular annual mammogram, forces people to confront their mortality.
