Latest Imaging Technologies and Advanced Diagnostics at Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care‒Westchester

Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care-Westchester recently opened its new radiology suite in Elmsford, New York. The suite offers the latest equipment, bringing state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostics to the residents of Westchester.

With the opening of Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care radiology, almost any imaging exam can now be performed on-site.

• Brain and central nervous system
• Gastrointestinal system and abdomen
• Genitourinary system
• Heart and vascular system
• Lungs, airways and structures of the chest
• Musculoskeletal system, including bones, muscles, ligaments and cartilage

“It’s not just a few radiologists reading the images. We’re able to draw on the expertise of our large radiology department. More than 50 subspecialized radiologists will read these cases,” said Mark C. Liszewski, MD, Director, Division of Pediatric Radiology, Children’s Hospital at Montefiore; Vice Chair, Outpatient Imaging, and Associate Professor, Radiology and Pediatrics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

The new radiology suite features rooms designed for patient comfort and convenience. Among the new equipment is a Philips MR Ingenia Elition 3.0T MRI scanner, which can reduce scan times up to 50% and reduce noise by 80%. It features a comfortable table that helps put patients at ease, resulting in a less stressful experience. It also provides the highest resolution images currently available, enabling doctors to make diagnoses that might otherwise be difficult to see.

“Even a small abnormality might have significant implications for a patient’s health,” Dr. Liszewski said. “If we can see those abnormalities with greater precision, it allows us to make those diagnoses earlier, faster and more confidently.”

The suite’s new GE Revolution Ascend CT scanner adds more patient comfort to the scanning process. It uses artificial intelligence to help position the patient on the scan table for optimal results and automates the setup process to save time while providing the best scan possible.

Rounding out the suite’s equipment are two 3D mammography units, two ultrasound machines, two low-dose X-ray machines and advanced software tools to optimize image resolution and reduce scan times and wait times.
