Imaging

When you see a provider at the St. Charles Center for Orthopedics & Neurosurgery for pain or an injury, your exam will often start with questions to understand your medical history. After a thorough physical evaluation, your provider may order diagnostic imaging to evaluate and confirm the location of any damage that may be causing your symptoms. This may include:

  • X-rays
  • MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
  • CT (computed tomography)

MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, uses radio waves, magnets, and a computer to provide an in-depth look at your bones and tissues. Insurance approval is required prior to booking an appointment. Once we receive authorization, our staff will contact you to schedule your MRI.

The St. Charles Center offers MRI at our Neff Road and Medical Center Drive clinic locations in Bend. To learn more about what to expect, please watch this video.
