Alaska Regional Imaging Alliance is the outpatient arm of our imaging services at Alaska Regional Hospital.

We are a facility that is accredited by The Joint Commission. We have also earned accreditation by the American College of Radiology in mammography, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) and computed tomography scans (CT scans). Imaging services are provided by board-certified radiologists and by radiation technologists accredited by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

Accurate, timely exam results are forwarded to your doctor or healthcare providers so they may access the information within hours of your procedure. To schedule an appointment, give us a call at (855) 226-9105.

We understand that exams and imaging services can often be nerve-wracking. To make your experience more comfortable, we offer our services in a spa-like, soothing environment. Our services include:

• Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans, also known as bone density scans
• Traditional mammography
• Stereotactic biopsy
• Ultrasound imaging
• Ultrasound-guided biopsy

Digital or 3D mammography

Clinical breast exams and mammography are important components of breast health. Regularly scheduled mammograms are important in the early detection of breast cancer. They can alert your healthcare providers to changes in your body before they can be seen or felt.

Mammography uses a low-dose X-ray system to examine breasts. With digital mammography high-definition images are taken to form a 3D picture of the breast and view inside the breast in a more defined way. Studies have found 3D mammograms may identify more cancers and result in fewer false positives. They also may be more effective than 2D mammograms for women with very dense breast tissue.

The Sarah Cannon Cancer Network recommends an annual screening mammogram beginning at 40 years old if you are at average risk for breast cancer. If you are at high-risk, you should consider speaking with your physician from the age of 25 about whether you may need an early screening.

We are located about five minutes south of the Merrill Field/Mountain View Anchorage Airport. Our offices are near the intersection of Alaska Regional Drive and Debarr Road on the Alaska Regional Hospital campus.
