Radiology Department
Bunkie General Hospital performs all medical imaging exams using the latest equipment and technology. Our staff is certified in multiple areas and offers professional and friendly services. With our PACs system, we can have exams read by board-certified radiologists anywhere, any time.
There is no need to have your imaging performed out of town, even if you use a doctor from another area. We accept all physicians’ orders and offer these services:
General X-Rays
Medical imaging of different parts of the body including extremities, chest, spine, abdomen, and head.
Fluoroscopy
A form of real-time x-ray using a barium-based contrast material to produce images of the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.
Modified Barium Swallows
Bunkie General Hospital is the only facility in Avoyelles Parish to perform Modified Barium Swallow studies on stroke and physically impaired patients.
Computed Tomography (CT)
We use 64 slice technology, which combines special X-ray equipment with sophisticated computers to produce multiple pictures of the inside of the body.
Ultrasound
Noninvasive imaging of various organs within the abdomen and pelvis, soft tissues, vascular, breast, and Echocardiography exams.
Mammography
We are teamed with LSU Shreveport to offer mobile 3D Mammogram imaging. Give them a call at (800) 582-4523 to schedule an appointment.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
An MRI Scan uses magnetic fields and radio waves to obtain detailed images of the human body including the brain, spine, joints, and other internal organs.
