Why Choose Us?
The Hamot Radiology Department provides physicians with some of the most recent technology to ensure diagnoses are as accurate as possible. Patients have access to cutting-edge equipment, along with specially trained technologists and expert radiologists, enabling Hamot to offer some of the most advanced diagnoses and minimally invasive treatments available today. The Radiology Department provides a wide range of radiology procedures, including general radiography, special procedures, computerized tomography (CT scan), mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine studies, ultrasound, portable radiography, interventional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Hamot has made a large investment in technology in order to provide these services. The Imaging Centers were the first in the region to use the picture archiving communication system (PACS). Hamot has converted to an all-digital format, which permits the distribution of pictures through the PACS. One of the benefits of PACS is the ability to view a patient's images from computers, allowing referring physicians to view their patient's images from their home or office. Additionally, since films are stored electronically there is no need to have patients return them.
- Hamot has four multi-slice CT scanners including 16- and 64-slice units; this allows us to offer state-of-the-art scanning at both the Medical Center and at the Hamot Imaging Center at Sterling Square. Multi-slice allows us to gather the most information in the shortest time. Our scanners have a weight capacity of up to 450 pounds.
