Monmouth’s team of highly qualified radiologists specializes in traditional diagnostic radiology as well as the most advanced interventional radiological procedures. In 2003, the department received one of the first CT (computed tomography) scan accreditations from the American College of Radiation (ACR) for safety and appropriate usage. In 2018, MMC’s latest MRI unit received ACR accreditation, assuring patients that the new equipment is of the highest quality and that the Radiology Department offers the most cutting-edge technology. The department was also among the first in Monmouth County to introduce both uterine fibroid embolization, an interventional radiology procedure that shrinks fibroid tumors by blocking their blood supply, and the area’s first coronary scoring program for the early detection of heart disease.
