Cancer Diagnosis

Cancer treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis, and Fairbanks Memorial Hospital uses a number of cancer-detection resources and state-of-the-art medical technologies to identify and stage cancers.

Some of our diagnosis resources include:

• Computed Tomography (CT) - Alaska's first 64-slice CT scanner
• Digital Mammography
• Echo/Ultrasound
• Fluoroscopy
• General Radiology (X-ray)
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Nuclear Medicine
