🧠 Need a CT Scan? TRA Has You Covered.

At TRA Medical Imaging, we offer advanced CT scans designed to give your healthcare provider the detailed insights they need to care for you — whether it’s detecting an injury, diagnosing a condition, or ruling something out with confidence.

💡 What is a CT scan?
A CT (computed tomography) scan uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of your body — including organs, bones, blood vessels, and soft tissue.

📅 Need to schedule a CT exam?
We’re here to help — but please note:
✔️ A referral from your provider is required
✔️ Your insurance may also require prior authorization

🧍‍♀️ During your appointment, our skilled technologists will walk you through each step and ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process.

🖥️ Ready to get scheduled? Contact your provider or call us directly if you have questions about next steps.

📍TRA offers CT scans at multiple convenient locations across the region. Learn more here: https://www.tranow.com/services/ct-scan/

🎗 It’s still July — Uterine Fibroid Awareness Month!

Did you know up to 80% of women will develop uterine fibroids in their lifetime? For some, they cause no symptoms — but for many others, fibroids mean pain, heavy bleeding, and major life disruptions.

Tennis legend Venus Williams recently opened up about her own fibroid journey — a powerful reminder that this condition can impact anyone. Her story helps shine a light on a topic that too often goes unspoken.

At TRA Endovascular, we specialize in Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) — a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that targets fibroids at the source. UFE can help relieve symptoms, reduce fibroid size, and allow women to avoid more invasive options like hysterectomy.

✨ UFE may be right for you if you’re experiencing:
• Heavy or prolonged periods
• Pelvic pressure or discomfort
• Frequent urination
• Fibroids impacting your daily life
• No plans for future pregnancy

🩺 Covered by most insurance plans — including Medicaid.

📞 Talk to your provider and see if UFE is the right option for you.
