This procedure carries a lower risk for complications (such as intestinal perforation) compared to conventional optical colonoscopy. In average risk patients, CT colonography is recommended as a screening tool for colorectal cancer, to be performed once every five years. In this procedure, the large intestine is examined for polyps and cancer with the use of a CT scanner. Our Specialists are trained in the following: For more information on the residency program, you may access the NHG-AHPL Diagnostic Radiology Residency Programme website. As a training centre, we are the main sponsoring institution for the NHG-AHPL Diagnostic Radiology Residency Programme. Our digital imaging technology comprises of a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) that is fully integrated with a voice-activated radiology information system (RIS). Amongst the latest equipment are a 3 Tesla MRI scanner, a 128-slice multi-detector row CT scanner and a 3D soft tissue image guidance interventional radiology system. The department is fully equipped with state-of-the-art imaging technology. In addition, we provide tele-radiology services to external facilities such as the NHG Polyclinics and NHGD Mobile, amongst other institutions. Some 400,000 examinations are performed each year including 7,000 interventional procedures, 4,000 fluoroscopic procedures, 35,000 ultrasound scans, 30,000 CT scans and 16,000 MR scans. All radiology technologists are certified nationally by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and are licensed by the State of Maine.We offer a full range of radiological services, covering diagnostic and imaging-guided therapeutic procedures. MMC's technologists are highly trained and dedicated to educating patients, answering questions, and making patients feel comfortable during a procedure.
Radiology technologists work with doctors and patients to conduct a number of imaging tests, the results of which are then read by a radiologist. All Spectrum radiologists are board certified and have substantial subspecialization within the field of diagnostic and therapeutic radiology in such areas as neuroradiology, cardiovascular and interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, radiation oncology, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and computerized axial tomography. MMC has chosen to work with Spectrum Medical Group because of their focus on providing compassionate, quality, cost-effective care to all patients at MMC. The radiologists at Maine Medical Center (MMC) are members of Spectrum Medical Group, Maine's largest physician managed multi-specialty group practice. Radiologists work side-by-side with primary care physicians, pediatricians, obstetricians, surgeons, oncologists, and many other doctors to determine the best treatment plan for each patient. A radiologist, a doctor who is a specialist in radiology, leads the radiology team.
