GMH's LightSpeed CT scanner allows doctors to simultaneously capture multiple wafer-thin images within seconds, shaving precious minutes off the exam time. The system also provides exceptionally high-resolution images that help doctors to more accurately diagnose patients than ever before.

The CT scan suite at Greene Memorial Hospital has a skylight mural to help patients feel more comfortable. The scanner is open, allowing the patient to be more involved in the process.

Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), is an imaging study to diagnose osteoporosis.  DEXA uses a low dose of x-rays to measure bone mineral density in the hips and spine.  The equipment is physicist tested annually.  Our Lead Interpreting Physician, Dr. Michael Caccamo, is a Certified Clinical Densitometrist by the International Society for Clinical Densitometry.  At Greene Memorial Hospital, we currently have three technologists who are registered by the ARRT in Bone Densitometry.

The Cardiac Cath and Interventional Imaging Lab, with the services of the Interventional Radiologist, offers procedures such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty to relieve back pain, insertion of peripherally inserted central lines (PICC) for poor IV access, insertion of dialysis catheters, and other procedures designed to improve quality of life.

Mammography is a safe, low dose x-ray of the breast that can detect very small cancers or other changes within the breast. A mammogram can find a growth 2 to 3 years before it can be felt.

GMH’s General Electric 1.5 Tesla Signa Horizon LX HiSpeed MRI System ensures a quick and comfortable experience. The system is designed to accommodate larger and claustrophobic patients and offers a much shorter magnet length. It is also one of the fastest scanners on the market.

Nuclear medicine tests use pictures of the body to measure the function of organs. Radioactive material is either injected into the body or taken orally. This compound, called a radio pharmaceutical or tracer collects in the organ and gives off energy. The camera detects the rays and works with a computer to produce pictures of organs and tissues.

Diagnostic ultrasound is a test that uses reflected sound waves to produce an image of organs and other structures in the body. It does not use X-rays or other types of possibly harmful radiation. GMH Imaging Services performs thousands of abdominal, breast, fetal and pelvic ultrasounds each year.

Chest x-ray is the most commonly performed diagnostic x-ray examination. Approximately half of all x-rays obtained in medical institutions are chest x-rays.

A chest x-ray is usually done for the evaluation of lungs, heart and chest wall. Pneumonia, heart failure, emphysema, lung cancer and other medical conditions can be diagnosed or suspected on a chest x-ray.
