Monmouth
Medical Center has taken diagnostic imaging to new levels of
precision, quality and speed. Monmouth's advanced imaging systems include:
While both systems are reshaping the way a full range of
medical conditions are detected and treated, each utilizes
different radiological principles to produce images that
are unmatched in quality — improving their diagnostic
capabilities.
Monmouth Medical Center’s magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) capabilities have been transformed by the Signa HDxT
High Definition MR upgrade. The Signa HDxT MRI scanner uses
unique High Definition (HD) technology, continuing a trend
of significant advances in MR imaging. HD technology enables
the on-board computing system to reconstruct images very
rapidly, resulting in near real-time image generation. The
Signa HDx is designed for advanced imaging for studies ranging
from routine to extremely challenging. The system produces
consistent image quality across all applications. By
significantly improving the quality and speed of an MRI study,
the Signa HDxT scanner delivers more detailed information
about the patient’s condition while making the experience
patient-friendly. Additionally, clearer, faster scans that
reduce the effects of motion and meets imaging challenges
presented by elderly patients with tremor disease; young
patients that fail sedation; diabetic patients with peripheral
vascular disease; female patients with multi-focal disease;
patients with liver disease; and cardiac inpatients who can’t
hold their breath.
The Picture Archive Communication Systems (PACS) has been
deployed throughout Monmouth Medical Center. Through
the implementation of PACS, images are available electronically
almost immediately on most PCs throughout the hospital, on
CDs that can be taken outside the hospital and even over
the Internet (in certain circumstances). This availability
will improve the report turnaround time, increase the overall
availability of the images, decrease the need for repeat
studies and increase both patient and physician satisfaction. Physicians
also have access to studies via a secure Internet connection
from their office or home.
