DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING AND RADIOLOGY<br />
603-526-5249<br />
The Radiology Department, in conjunction with Valley Radiologists Professional Association, offers routine<br />
radiology services, digital mammography, ultrasonography, MRI, 16-slice CT Scan, bone density analysis,<br />
and Digital Fluoroscopy. We offer radiological services at <strong>New</strong> <strong>London</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> and at the <strong>New</strong>port Health<br />
Center.<br />
DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>London</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> was the first in the State of <strong>New</strong> Hampshire to offer digital mammography. Digital<br />
mammography is accurate, fast, and offers greater flexibility and magnification for women with denser<br />
breast tissue. Breast images produced through computerization rather than X-ray film are clear, easy to<br />
read, and can be viewed within seconds. NLH also uses I-CAD which is a computer aided detection<br />
system. This provides a computerized analysis of a patient’s mammogram to supplement the radiologist’s<br />
interpretation.<br />
Our technologists are all registered radiologic technologists certified in mammography, and all films are<br />
interpreted by Board Certified Radiologists.<br />
We are an American College of Radiology accredited mammography site.<br />
ULTRASONOGRAPHY<br />
Our equipment is an ATL HDI3000 Ultrasound machine. All technologists are registered diagnostic medical<br />
sonographers.<br />
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (M.R.I.)<br />
The 1.5T MRI services are available one day every week and two days every other week.<br />
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (C.T. SCAN)<br />
24 hours a day, 7 days a week our state-of-the-art High Speed 16-slice Scanner is available for a wide<br />
range of imaging procedures. All technologists are registered radiologic technologists.
