Diagnostic Imaging Center

MRI and Bone Density

Cascade Orthopaedics offers imaging services with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Bone Density Studies and Digital X-Ray at the Auburn campus and our satellite clinics. Our state-of-the-art full field MRI allows fast and accurate imaging while providing a more comfortable experience in the large short bore table than in older MRI's with small tunnels.

This is a safe, comfortable, and totally painless way for your physician to view the soft tissues inside your joints and provide information that can improve your diagnosis. Bone Density studies are recommended for women who have fractured their bones or are over the age of 45. The study takes just 10 minutes and can determine whether a patient has or is at risk for osteoporosis. Finally, all of our clinics offer the latest in digital X-Ray facilities.

Digital X-RAY

Cascade Orthopaedics is committed to providing patients with the highest level of comprehensive musculoskeletal care using state of the art medical technology. Cascade Orthopaedics has partnered with Stryker, a leader in the worldwide orthopaedic market, to implement the latest orthopaedic PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) throughout the facility. Innovations in digital imaging enable our physicians to pass numerous benefits on to their patients.

  • Higher resolution images enable physicians to give more accurate diagnoses
  • Instant image availability translates to less time spent waiting for X-rays, allowing physicians to spend more time with patients in the examination room
  • Because digital images can be manipulated after processing, physicians require less retakes and can minimize the amount of radiation to which patients are exposed
  • Digital pre-operative planning tools enable physicians to accurately plan surgical procedures and analyze post-operative images
  • Unlimited digital copies of images can be made without degradation in quality and saved onto portable media such as CD, DVD, or USB drive

Together with Stryker, Cascade Orthopaedics will be able to care for patients more effectively and efficiently.
