Our Team Approach

team comprised of nurses, medical assistants, a clinical
pharmacist, and social workers in order to meet each

questions and obtain specific information about their

Radiology
State of the art equipment & services
Mammography | Bone densitometry (DXA) | Diagnostic radiology
Whether you need an x-ray, mammogram or bone
density scan, Elliot Senior Health Radiology Services are
conveniently located within the Elliot Senior Health Center.
Through the use of today’s most advanced technology,
completed exams are sent electronically to a Radiologist
at the Elliot Hospital. This new technology allows Elliot
providers to view patient films from their offices within
minutes of the exam.
We offer state of the art digital mammography with
Computer Aided detection (CAD). This technology has
your mammogram looked at by a computer to help aid in
the early detection of cancer. CAD is proven to detect 23%
of breast cancers an average of 14 months earlier than
screening mammograms alone. The program works like a
spell checker, alerting the Radiologist to take a look at the
area that the computer has marked as a potential problem.
Bone densitometry, often referred to as DXA, is used to
check your bones for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis has no
signs or symptoms; it will weaken your bones and can
cause broken bones. It’s what causes older people to be
round shouldered and the dowagers hump. The exam is
simple and pain free, allowing the patient to relax on a
nice padded table for 15-20 minutes.
Mammograms and Bone densitometry
(DXA) exams can be scheduled by calling
(603) 663-2180. 8FPGGFSBQQPJOUNFOUUJNFT
