Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Newport Hospital offers state-of-the-art, high-strength, high-quality and high-comfort magnetic resonance imaging services to the people of Aquidneck Island and its surrounding communities. Onsite MRI services are made possible by a donation from the Alletta Morris McBean Charitable Trust.

Newport Hospital's MRI scanner is a short bore, open design, which features shorter exam times and wide visibility for patients. This scanner type is advantageous for patients who are claustrophobic in conventional, closed MRI scanners. The machine's high field strength enables superior image quality and advanced diagnostic services.

MRI appointments at Newport Hospital can be booked within 24-hours of a physician's order. The hospital offers rapid results turnaround for diagnosis and treatment planning. Emergency MRI service is also available. Physicians can refer patients for MRI scans by calling 401-845-1336 or toll-free 1-866-4UR-XRAY (1-866-487-9729).

Newport Hospital is accredited by the American College of Radiologists and each scan is read by a board-certified radiologist.
