Diagnostic imaging center in Manchester, New Hampshire
If your doctor requests medical imaging, we have the skills and technology to take care of you.
At Catholic Medical Center, we strive to give you clarity about your health. In a comfortable, compassionate setting, our technologists capture clear images of your body to detect the condition you may have.
Our advanced imaging services
We use high-quality equipment to perform various diagnostic imaging procedures, such as biopsies, computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, ultrasounds and X-rays.
Bone density scans
These scans are typically used to diagnose osteoporosis, a bone disease that can cause structural changes and a gradual calcium deficiency. Early detection is critical to delaying the advancement of this condition.
Breast imaging procedures
Our team uses the latest breast imaging technology to help identify the earliest signs of breast cancer. We are accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) for our exceptional delivery of 3D mammograms, breast MRI scans, breast ultrasounds and breast biopsies, as well as certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Cardiac imaging procedures
Cardiac imaging enables your doctor to see your heart and blood vessels, asses their function and address vascular disease. We perform cardiac MRI scans, cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) scans and imaging for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) surgery.
Image-guided back pain procedures
The image-guided procedures we use can help us treat chronic back pain. Most of our interventional back pain management procedures are short, enabling you to return home after your appointment. You may also be able to return to routine activity the next day. These procedures are unable to cure the cause of back pain, but they can provide relief while you recover from injury or await surgery.
Interventional radiology (IR) procedures
For IR procedures, we use X-rays, MRI scans and other imaging modalities to move a catheter, or thin tube, into your body. IR can be used for both diagnosis and treatment. Most of these same-day procedures are quick and safe, and they may contribute to a shorter recovery time and better outcome than a more traditional approach.
Lung cancer screenings
We are an ACR-accredited lung cancer screening center. If you are considered high-risk for developing lung cancer, we will conduct a screening to find it as early as possible, when it's easier to treat.
Prostate cancer screenings
To detect prostate-cancer and determine how advanced it is, we often perform an MRI scan. If found early, prostate cancer is highly treatable.
In addition to providing personalized medical support before and after your procedure, we may also use additional treatments that include:
- Epidural steroid injections
- Fluoroscopies
- Kyphoplasties
- Long-term venous access procedures
- Migraine therapies
- Nuclear medicine procedures
- Pelvic congestion procedures
- Radioembolizations
- Rhizotomies
- Uterine fibroid embolizations (UFEs)
