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.
MRI is also available at the Portsmouth Imaging Center.
