You Cannot Treat a Problem Until You Understand It
Pain, an injury, or a change in your health can leave you with questions. Sometimes, a physical exam cannot show your provider everything they need to see.
Without the right test, it may be hard to find the cause or choose the next step.
Diagnostic imaging gives your care team a closer look inside your body.

CDP Health offers many imaging and diagnostic services in Sisseton.
Your radiology team will explain your test, help you feel prepared, and collect the images your provider needs to better understand your health.
Radiology and Diagnostic Services
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI uses a powerful magnet, radio waves, and computer technology to create detailed images of your body.
It is often used to look at:
The brain
The spine
Muscles
Nerves
Soft tissue
Knees and other joints
CDP Health’s onsite MRI includes quiet scanning and a wide, 71-centimeter opening for a more comfortable exam.
CT Scans
A CT scan uses X-ray technology to create detailed images of bones, muscles, organs, and blood vessels.
CT scans may also help with biopsies or planning for surgery and treatment.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of soft tissue and other structures inside the body.
It may be used to look at:
- Abdominal and pelvic organs
- Veins and arteries
- The heart
- Soft tissue
- Pregnancy
Bone Density Scans
A bone density scan is also called a DEXA scan. It measures the strength and density of your bones.
This test can help find osteoporosis and the risk of broken bones.
General Radiography
General radiography uses X-rays to create images of bones and organs.
CDP Health offers fixed and portable digital radiography equipment.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine uses a small amount of radioactive material to help diagnose or treat disease.
Testing may include:
- Stress tests
- HIDA scans
- Bone scans
- Thyroid scans
- Lung perfusion scans
Heart Testing
CDP Health offers:
- EKGs
- Holter monitors
- Event monitors
These tests record your heart rate and electrical activity. They may help find problems with your heart rate or rhythm.
EEG Testing
An EEG records the electrical activity in your brain. It may help diagnose seizures, epilepsy, and other brain conditions.
Lung Screening
Low-dose CT scans can help find signs of lung cancer before symptoms appear.
Your provider can help determine if lung screening is right for you. A provider referral is required.
Mammography
Mammography uses low-dose X-rays to create detailed images of breast tissue.
Regular mammograms can help detect breast cancer early, sometimes before signs or symptoms appear.
