Diagnostic Imaging

Portsmouth Regional Hospital's Radiology Department is a full digital department including two new Digital Radiographic rooms. We offer the Seacoast's most extensive diagnostic resources, including 64-slice CT and MRI scanning, X-ray, cardiac stress testing, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine and PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging. For an explanation of these technologies and the tests they perform, we encourage you to visit www.radiologyinfo.com.

The Hospital continues to make major investments in the latest diagnostic imaging tools. In early 2006, we added a new, state-of-the-art 64-slice CT scanner. The Toshiba Aquilion features advanced multi-slice CT technology, producing high-speed, high-resolution imaging with the best low contrast resolution at the lowest dose.

Additional state-of-the-art resources include a second multislice computerized tomographic scanner, a fixed MRI system and two digital mammography systems. The GE LightSpeed computerized tomographic (CT) scanner is capable of multiple scans simultaneously, allowing for much faster results. Our fixed 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system provides patients with access to a wide range of tests featuring greater accuracy and faster speeds. Notably, the 1.5 Tesla Open MRI provides great image quality in a spacious environment that benefits all patients, but especially claustrophobic and larger individuals. The newest upgrade has cardiac and breast imaging capabilities.
