Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center offers a complete range of radiological services, including Diagnostic Radiology, Mammography, Ultrasound, CT Scan, and Bone Densitometry. In addition to these services, we also offer MRI and Echocardiography one day a week.

HOURS:

Radiology is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. until midnight. A technologist is on call from midnight to 6:30 a.m. to cover emergencies.

EXAM INTERPRETATION:

After you have a procedure done in Radiology, it will be read by a Board Certified Radiologist. The report will then be sent to the ordering provider. Valley Radiology Professional Associates (VRPA), a group of radiologists who also cover three other local hospitals, covers Mt. Ascutney Hospital.
** VRPA will bill separately for the interpretation of your radiology procedure.

MAMMOGRAPHY

We now perform digital mammography. This is a quality X-ray of the breast. It is recommended that all women over the age of 40 receive a yearly mammogram.

BONE DENSITOMETRY (DEXA)

Both women and men should consider having a bone density exam done. Discuss your risk factors with your provider.

ULTRASOUND

General Ultrasound services are provided Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m.

CT

The Hammond CT Suite was officially opened in March 2001. CT Scan services have become the standard of medical care for diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of conditions such as stroke, trauma, and chronic pain.

Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) scan uses computers to allow radiologists to obtain detailed information by providing cross sectional images on various parts of the body. This information is essential and highly effective for studying the brain, torso, and extremities. Our patients will greatly benefit from the new technology provided by the multi-slice scanner. With multi-slice scanning we are able to acquire more information in a shorter time.

MRI

MRI is provided every Monday by a mobile service. An MRI examination can be scheduled through your provider's office.

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY

On Tuesdays we offer Echocardiograms (an ultrasound of your heart). This is a mobile service provided to us from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. An echocardiogram can be scheduled through your provider's office.
