Doing so can help you find comprehensive support when you need various medical exams, including MRIs, X-rays, and more.
What We Offer at Hudson Regional Hospital
The Hudson Regional Hospital contains a state of the art Radiology Department capable of performing a wide range of duties. Patients have trusted our facilities and expert staff for many years, and we consistently strive to go above and beyond in our care. We can offer the following radiology services to our valued patients:
● Nuclear medicine: using minute amounts of radioactive material, nuclear medicine can diagnose multiple diseases. These diseases may include heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, neurological and endocrine disorders, and a wide variety of cancers. In some cases, nuclear medicine may also be used to treat conditions, providing relief for patients.
● CT scans: a CT scan (otherwise known as a CAT scan) takes X-ray measurements of the body from many different angles and feeds them through a computer to produce detailed cross sections of specific areas. Such technology can be used to identify tumors and other irregularities in places where standard film X-rays would be unable to detect them.
● Fluoroscopy: by passing a continuous X-ray beam throughout the body, fluoroscopy can create real-time moving images that show the inside of the human body. It can be useful in diagnosing joint problems, placing catheters, and identifying problems within the digestive system (among other uses).
● Ultrasound: ultrasound technology uses high-frequency sound waves to create visual representations of the inner body. It is most commonly used to study unborn children while they are still inside their mothers’ wombs, but can also be used to look at internal organs such as the heart or pelvic organs.
● Mammogram: this form of radiology can be instrumental in detecting breast cancer before it has a chance to metastasize and become a more significant concern.
● MRI: MRIs use magnetic fields to create detailed images of internal body structures. They can examine soft tissue, bones, and organs, which makes them useful for a large variety of tests. MRIs are commonly used to diagnose athletic injuries.

Please note that all our radiology procedures are subject to different scheduling policies and may be subject to additional requirements depending on the circumstances of each patient.
