Our imaging services department strives to assure safety and ease. Our staff believes in providing care with the least pain possible, while utilizing the latest state-of-the-art technology. Patients who use our imaging services are exposed to less radiation and sedation during testing procedures.

Lakeview Hospital is one of the first medical facilities in the region to incorporate the new Cinema Vision Virtual Reality System into MRI procedures. This helps claustrophobic and pediatric patients tolerate exams better while preventing the need for sedation as a prelude to MRI testing.
