Monmouth's comprehensive diagnostic radiology department offers state-of-the-art imaging facilities and equipment and a team of highly qualified radiologists, specializing in traditional diagnostic radiology and the most advanced interventional radiological procedures.

In 2003, Monmouth Medical Center became the first hospital in New Jersey to gain accreditation from the American College of Radiology that recognizes the safety and appropriateness of its computed tomography (CT) scan use.

Through this achievement, Monmouth joined just 60 hospitals nationwide that have achieved this accreditation, which was developed by the American College of Radiology (ACR) out of concerns about the excessive use of CT procedures, as well as in response to the widespread report of excessive radiation doses in pediatric CT procedures. The ACR implemented this new CT accreditation program in late 2002 to evaluate facilities in several categories, including the qualifications of the radiologists, technologists, and physicists, equipment performance, effectiveness of quality control programs and quality of clinical images and radiation doses.
