Long Branch, NJ, March 6, 2025 – Monmouth Medical Center (MMC) has introduced the latest technology in MRI and CT imaging, offering increased patient comfort as well as more precise imaging and reporting for even the most complex cases.
MMC'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. Most recently the hospital added a SOMATOM Pro.Pulse CT Scan, the latest innovation in CT scanning that offers precise positioning technology, mood lighting, and innovative visual instructions to keep patients at ease while generating consistent scan results.
“This new technology unlocks advanced diagnostic imaging for every patient,” said Dr. Tejas Shinde, Chair of Radiology and Director of MRI Body Imaging at MMC. “The scanner is designed with patient comfort in mind and is backed by the power, speed, and precision capabilities that only Dual Source CT can provide. Additionally, intelligent workflow with embedded AI simplifies the scanning process so technologists can spend more time with their patients during the exam.”
Additionally, MMC has introduced the MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T MRI system, advanced technology that helps overcome the challenges of body MRI with motion technology and offers free-breathing examinations to those with limited breath-hold capacity. This paradigm shift in MR imaging makes it possible to perform advanced neurological examinations, previously excluded from routine imaging.
“MRI, which uses magnets and radio waves to make a detailed image of the body, has been around for decades—but its technology keeps improving,” Dr. Shinde said. “We are committed to offering the most advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology, allowing for increased patient comfort as well as more precise imaging and reporting by the radiologist.”
In 2003, MMC became the first hospital in New Jersey to gain accreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR) that recognizes the safety and appropriateness of its computed tomography (CT) scan use. MMC’s Department of Radiology holds the gold seal of accreditation from the American College of Radiology for its advanced imaging systems, and was the first in New Jersey to achieve this status for breast MRI imaging.
