- MRIMonmouth also was the first hospital in Monmouth County to offer the latest in Dexa scan imaging — a procedure used in assessing bone mineral density for the detection of osteoporosis — and digital chest radiography, which produces improved images and reduces radiation exposure to patients. The department is equipped with the most-advanced computed tomography (CT) imaging system, providing the area’s first coronary scoring program for the early detection of heart disease, as well as the state of the art in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning technologies. And in another diagnostic breakthrough, Monmouth has established the region’s only colorectal physiology center for diseases and disorders of the colon, rectum and anus.
- RadiologyMonmouth'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.
- Nuclear MedicineThe department's cutting-edge angiographic suite is used to perform diagnostic procedures such as cerebral, abdominal and peripheral angiography. Monmouth was the first hospital in the state to introduce a nuclear medicine department, fully equipped with Gamma cameras, Spect cameras and computer systems.
- Computed TomographyIn 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.
- Interventional RadiologyAnd in addition to diagnostic breakthroughs, Monmouth was the first hospital in Monmouth and Ocean counties to introduce uterine fibroid embolization, an interventional radiology procedure which shrinks fibroid tumors by blocking their blood supply. Monmouth’s interventional radiologists also offer radiofrequency ablation for inoperable tumors and vertvertebroplasty to treat osteoporotic spinal compressions.
