Our diagnostic imaging tests are completely digital, so
referring providers can access results and images electroni-
cally, which facilitates a quicker diagnosis.
Our imaging services include:
3-D mammography.
Sunnyside Community Hospital is
the only health care organization in the Yakima Valley to
have the innovative Genius 3-D Mammography™ technol-
ogy. This system detects 41 percent more invasive breast
cancers than traditional mammography. It is also 40 percent
less likely to report a cancer when none actually exists
(called a false positive).
CT (computed tomography).
We use the new GE 128-slice
CT scanner, which is accredited by the American College of
Radiology and uses radiation-lowering software and tech-
niques to reduce radiation exposure.

we use features a large, wide-open bore that focuses on
patient comfort.
