Medical imaging equipment
The Department of Medical Imaging performs and interprets more than 109,000 imaging studies each year. The department has a fully integrated PACS system with a speech recognition dictation system and state-of-the-art equipment, including:
- Four fluoroscopy units that have been specially programmed to minimize radiation exposure
- Nine ultrasound machines with color doppler capabilities
- Two multi-slice CT scan machines, 16-slice and 64-slice multi-detector units. In order to Image Gently, our CT studies are individually protocoled for each patient
- Four MRI scanners, three 1.5T and one 3.0T, one of which provides advanced cardiac imaging capability
- Two IR suites, one single plane and one biplane. Both IR suites are also equipped with ultrasound units
- Two dual-head SPECT cameras and individual, patient weight-based, dosing protocols utilized by Nuclear Medicine
- Weight-based protocols utilized by PET/CT, providing metabolic and anatomic imaging during the same study
