Advanced diagnostic imaging encompasses the most advanced imaging research technology available today in partnership with Siemens, Philips, Fuji, and GE. The facility generates, and manages, digital images through a sophisticated Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). The TIPS advanced diagnostic imaging center’s extensive imaging services are listed below. For additional information please visit our website: imagingcenter.tamu.edu.
