Radiology

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI - Open and Closed)

MRI uses a large magnet, radio waves and a computer to produce two- and three-dimensional images of the inside of the body. MRI can be used to evaluate any part of the body, in order to diagnose internal injuries or conditions, or to monitor effects of medications and treatments.

Tele-Radiology

Advanced digital technology makes real-time consultation possible between radiologists at Middlesex Hospital and the Shoreline Medical Center, 24 hours a day.

Ultrasound

Also called a sonogram, ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to examine internal organs in the abdomen, producing real-time images of soft tissue and capturing movement of internal organs. If a Doppler ultrasound is done, the doctor is able to see blood flow in major blood vessels.

Digital Fluoroscopy

An X-ray based technology that can assess an organ or body in real time. Typical fluoroscopies include gastrointestinal or barium GI studies.

High Speed Multi-Slice CT Scan (“CAT” Scan)

CT scans use a computer to enhance X-ray type images. Typical CT scanners create image slices one at a time; our machine creates two images at the same time. Images are then assembled into a very detailed, three-dimensional view.

Abdomen

Abdomen

An x-ray scan that uses a computer to produce cross-sectional images of the abdomen.

Head

An x-ray scan that utilizes a computer to produce cross-sectional images of the head.

Mammography

Mammography is the use of low-dose x-rays (radiation) to make a picture of the tissue inside the breast. The resulting picture is called a mammogram. Mammography is used to screen for and diagnose breast cancer by detecting tumors or other changes in breast tissue. A mammogram can identify abnormalities before a lump can be felt, and therefore aids in early detection of cancer, which improves chances of successful treatment. Learn more about mammography.
