Sporting a name like Battlefield Imaging, which was derived from a prominent and bloody Civil War campaign that happened nearby 144 years ago, it’s almost ironic that the Ringgold, GA-based outpatient imaging center is so dedicated to cooperation, customer service and harmony.

The tried and true old workhorse of imaging modalities, particularly for women’s healthcare, has demonstrated its longevity but it’s also evolving to address future needs in the face of newer and more advanced imaging modalities.
That includes adopting at least one computed tomography characteristic and 4D capabilities. Healthcare facilities also see considerable growth in compact, hand-held models, as well as ergonomic design in mobile, cart-based models.
So what might the future hold for ultrasound technology?
