Prague Regional Memorial Hospital offers high-quality care for slow-healing and chronic wounds. We provide a full assessment, tailored treatment, patient education and support. Our goal is to heal the wound as quickly and efficiently as possible and eliminate wound-related symptoms and complications.
We treat a variety of conditions that lead to skin breakdown and injury, including:
Leg and foot ulcers caused by diabetes or medical conditions that impair blood circulation through the arteries or veins
Tissue injury caused by radiation therapy for cancer, such as injury to the bladder, intestines, rectum, or skin
Pressure ulcers caused by sitting or lying in one position for too long
Wounds associated with lymphedema
Burns
Cellulitis
Amputations
Non-healing surgical wounds
Fistulas
Other non-healing wounds
Our nurses, physicians, and clinical staff begin with a review of each patient’s medical history. The patient’s individualized care plan is determined by an examination and assessment considering all relevant factors. This thorough consideration prior to treatment, along with a thoughtful and continually monitored treatment plan, sets our patients up for successful healing.
X-Ray and CT
At Prague Regional Memorial Hospital, we are committed to providing premier-quality imaging with compassion and care. Whether it’s a CT scan or a traditional X-ray, you can expect quality care and quick results performed by skilled, registered radiology technicians and read by an experienced, board-certified radiologist. We offer both inpatient and outpatient radiology services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Diagnostic X-Ray
Diagnostic radiology procedures use radiation to help identify disease or injury. X-rays penetrate body tissues and produce an image that provides vital information about normal structures as well as diseases in the body. Diagnostic X-rays are used to examine all parts of the body. For example, diagnostic X-rays can be used to identify problems in the digestive system and kidneys, and find evidence of bone fractures and dislocations.
CT Scan (computerized tomography)
A CT (or computerized tomography) scan combines computerized technology with a focused X-ray beam that passes through the body at various angles, producing clear, cross-sectional images. It is safe, fast and painless, and produces precise and accurate images of the body. A CT scan is one of a physician’s most important tools for examining the bones and internal organs. CT scans can detect many conditions that conventional X-rays cannot.
CT scans can often take the place of other more invasive diagnostic techniques, such as exploratory surgery, saving the patient discomfort, cost, and inconvenience. The scans are also useful for monitoring a patient’s progress during or after treatment. CT scanning is considered a critical component of any evaluation of brain injuries or function. CT scans of the head may also be used to detect or rule out tumors, blood clots, and other disorders. These scans can also be especially important in diagnosing enlarged lymph nodes, pancreatic disease, back problems, or lung cancer.
