DeerwoodWaco Health & Wellness has been serving the Waco community for many years, providing reliable and professional imaging services to patients of all ages. Our facility is staffed by experienced radiologists and technologists who prioritize patient comfort and diagnostic accuracy. We believe that clear communication and a welcoming environment are essential to delivering quality care. Our team takes the time to explain procedures and answer questions so patients feel informed and at ease. Whether you are coming in for a routine scan or a specialized imaging study, we strive to make your experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. We are committed to maintaining high standards of care and using advanced imaging technology to support the diagnostic needs of local physicians and their patients.
We offer a comprehensive range of imaging services designed to meet diverse medical needs. Our facility provides digital X-rays for quick and efficient evaluation of bones, joints, and soft tissues. We also perform ultrasound examinations, which are safe, non-invasive, and useful for assessing internal organs, blood flow, and pregnancy. For more detailed imaging, we offer computed tomography (CT) scans that produce cross-sectional images of the body, helping to identify conditions affecting the chest, abdomen, and other areas. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is available for high-resolution visualization of soft tissues, including the brain, spine, and joints. Additionally, we conduct bone density scans to evaluate osteoporosis risk and monitor bone health. Our mammography services support breast health screening and early detection of abnormalities. Each service is performed with attention to patient safety, using appropriate shielding and protocols to minimize radiation exposure when applicable.
Our imaging services assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of a wide range of medical conditions. X-rays are commonly used to detect fractures, dislocations, infections, and arthritis. Ultrasound examinations help evaluate abdominal pain, gallbladder disease, kidney stones, and vascular conditions. CT scans are valuable for identifying tumors, internal bleeding, lung disease, and complications from trauma. MRI is often recommended for assessing neurological disorders, spinal injuries, joint problems, and soft tissue abnormalities. Bone density scans are used to diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk in older adults. Mammography plays a critical role in the early detection of breast cancer and monitoring of breast health. By providing clear and accurate images, we support physicians in making informed decisions about patient care, whether that involves further testing, treatment planning, or monitoring the progress of an existing condition.

When you arrive for your first visit to DeerwoodWaco Health & Wellness, you will be greeted by our friendly staff and guided through the check-in process. If you have a referral from your physician, please bring it with you, along with any relevant medical records or previous imaging results. Our technologist will explain the procedure you are scheduled for and answer any questions you may have. Depending on the type of imaging study, you may be asked to change into a gown and remove any metal objects or jewelry. We prioritize your comfort and privacy throughout the process. Most imaging exams are quick and painless, though some may require you to hold still or maintain a specific position for a short time.

Question: How long does an imaging appointment usually take?
Answer: The length of your appointment depends on the type of imaging study being performed. Most X-rays and ultrasounds take about 15 to 30 minutes, while more detailed scans like CT or MRI may take 30 to 60 minutes. We recommend arriving a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork.
Question: Is there any preparation required before my imaging exam?
Answer: Preparation varies by the type of exam. For some scans, such as certain ultrasounds or CT studies, you may be asked to fast or avoid specific foods beforehand. MRI appointments may require you to remove all metal objects and inform us of any implants or devices. When you schedule your appointment, we will provide specific instructions tailored to your exam.
