The first 3T OPEN MRI between Cleveland and Pittsburgh is available at Salem Regional Medical Center.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce highly-detailed images of the brain, organs, bones and soft tissues in the body, without the use of radiation. Our 3T OPEN MRI has twice the magnetic strength of older 1.5T MRI scanners, allowing for twice the detail. This permits more accurate, early diagnosis of diseases when they are most curable.
This advanced technology offers area residents the opportunity to receive state-of-the-art diagnostic testing with the fastest, most detailed magnetic resonance imaging of the body, brain, spine, extremities and breasts.

According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, making it the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the U.S. However, when detected in its earliest stages and appropriately treated, the average five-year breast cancer survival rate is 98%
Salem Regional Medical Center now offers the newest generation of 3-D mammography available between Pittsburgh and Cleveland for improving breast cancer detection at its earliest stage.
3-D mammography complements standard 2-D digital mammography, and can find up to 40% more invasive cancers than a traditional mammogram alone.
Benefits of 3-D mammography include:

Salem Regional Medical Center now offers the next generation 3D PET/CT scanner with the fastest and highest image quality available anywhere in the nation. SRMC is the first hospital to offer this technology within an 8-state region of the country.
3D PET/CT is a state-of-the-art technique that combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with Computed Tomography (CT) to create detailed 3D images that can help identify very small cancers and their spread anywhere in the body. Our new 3D PET/CT scanner performs the fastest 3D PET/CT imaging at the highest quality and detail in half the time and using half the dose of radiation.

Nuclear Medicine is a safe and painless imaging procedure that uses a special camera and very small amounts of radioactive material to create images of the body and document the body's function. (Note: These special radioactive materials are introduced into the body by injection, swallowing or inhalation.)
Nuclear Medicine can assist your physician in diagnosing a variety of diseases and is commonly used for:

DEXA stands for Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry. It is the most commonly used test for measuring bone mineral density and one of the most accurate ways to diagnose osteoporosis, which is responsible for 1.5 million fractures in the U.S. each year. DEXA scanning has proven to be the most accurate method of measuring bone density and uses the least amount of radiation.
DEXA Bone Density scans can be scheduled at:

Ultrasound Imaging uses sound waves to produce images of the body's organs, tissues and vessels without using radiation. Because the images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.
Ultrasound testing can help physicians diagnose diseases or abnormalities by imaging the heart and blood vessels, organs in the abdomen and pelvis, the breast, thyroid or a pregnant woman's unborn child. It is also used to guide minimally-invasive procedures or biopsies.
Ultrasound Imaging can be scheduled at:

An x-ray is a fast and painless exam that uses a small amount of radiation to visualize the body's internal structures. While x-rays are most often used to image the bones for fractures and other abnormalities, they are also effective in detecting pneumonia in the lungs or foreign objects in the body.
Salem Regional Medical Center uses digital x-ray equipment and a state-of-the-art computerized system to obtain, view and store images electronically. This "filmless" technology benefits patients with:

Salem Regional Medical Center is the only hospital in the Mahoning Valley to offer 3-D Virtual CT Colonoscopy for colon cancer diagnosis and screening.
This state-of-the-art procedure is an alternative to a traditional colonoscopy, which many people prefer to avoid because of the discomfort of the rigorous colon preparation, the need for anesthesia or their inability to take time off from work.
Benefits of Virtual CT Colonoscopy include:

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in the U.S., and occurs particularly in men and women with long-term smoking histories. Recent studies have shown that the screening of current and former heavy smokers reduced their risk of dying from lung cancer by 20%.
A low-cost, low-dose CT lung cancer screening program is offered at Salem Regional Medical Center to detect lung cancer before it has spread. The lung cancer screening is modeled after mammography, which has been highly successful in detecting breast cancer.
Note: All patients will need to obtain a referral for the low-dose CT lung screening from their health care provider.
