Computed Tomography Exam (CT)
Simple, safe and swift, a CT exam is one of the most common medical imaging procedures. It is a valuable diagnostic medical exam that combines X-rays and computers. Often called CAT scans, CT scans have been performed successfully for almost 30 years. Having state-of-the-art technology in CT Scanning at BAPTIST HEALTH Medical Center-Arkadelphia reduces the amount of radiation you’re exposed to which is healthier for you. And the quality of the images allows the physician reading them to be more accurate.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
This MRI will allow patients in Arkadelphia and surrounding communities who need this type of service to stay closer to home and receive the same benefits of advanced technology that have only been available in larger cities. After an MRI test is performed, the film will be delivered directly to a radiology specialist at BAPTIST HEALTH Medical Center - Little Rock, who will then read the film and provide results to the patient's primary caregiver.

Digital Mammography
Digital mammography has made early detection even more likely. It’s more effective than film mammography at finding breast cancer in women who were once very difficult to diagnose: younger than age 50, of any age with very dense breasts, and pre- or perimenopausal. To schedule your digital mammogram, call BAPTIST HEALTH Medical Center-Arkadelphia at (870)245-1111.

We are well equipped to treat emergency injuries and heart problems. Plus, we offer BAPTIST HEALTH MedFlight transportation to other BAPTIST HEALTH facilities if your condition requires it.

Hospitalists - What does that mean for you?

A Hospitalist specializes in everybody. A Hospitalist is a hospital’s go-to, staff physician for in-patient care. The hospital’s patients are the Hospitalist’s patients, working in tandem with nursing and staff while staying in constant communication with your physician. He or she is a key figure in the hospital and is familiar with hospital procedures and inner-workings.

What does a Hospitalist do? Think of a Hospitalist like a medical liaison that helps to expedite your care. Among many other functions, our Hospitalists order tests, review charts, and sign-off on discharges. In addition, the Hospitalist is authorized to make medical decisions the nursing staff cannot.

So what’s the benefit to you? On average, a hospital that offers a Hospitalist reduces patient stay by an average of half a day – while adding another layer of quality medical care. Plus, reduced stays can mean reduced costs. Finally, a Hospitalist is available 24/7 to provide patients with quality care around the clock.

Why do we offer a Hospitalist? It’s simple: we’re committed to providing our patients with the very best care.
