Together, the hospitals of North Country Healthcare provide state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging administered by our highly experienced team members.
Better. Faster. Closer.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) Strong magnets and radio waves provide information about the body that X-ray cannot, especially for joints and other soft tissue structures. Non-invasive, painless views of tissues, bones and organs. MRAs focus on blood vessels.

COMING SOON! Open Bore MRI
Strong magnets and radio waves provide information about the body that X-ray cannot, especially for joints and other soft tissue structures. Open bore offers more comfort for claustrophobic patients.
Nuclear Medicine
Radiotracers help provide unique information to identify disease early.
X Rays
Fully digital radiographic technology provides sharp images of areas like bones and lungs.
3D & 4D Ultrasounds
The ability to see three dimensions in real time, providing extra detail for special exams, including prenatal.
Imaging Assisted Special Procedures
Guidance for biopsies, aspirations, drainage, and joint arthrography.
3D Mammography
Tomographic technology brings breast cancer detection to the next level, using very thin slices and Computer Assisted Detection.
Computed Tomography (CT)
CT scanners provide multi-dimensional images very quickly using radiation-reducing technology. CT is especially helpful in emergencies due to its
speed and accuracy.
Bone Densitometry
An exam using a very small and focused beam of x-ray, which provides the ability to assess mineral content of bones and potential risk of fracture.
How to Prepare for Your Tests
Your primary care physician or specialist may order diagnostic testing as preventative care, to help diagnose a disease, or to determine the extent of an injury. You will receive complete instructions prior to your appointment. However, feel free to ask any questions or share any concerns. Our goal is to obtain the highest quality images while making you feel comfortable and supported during the test.
In general, to prepare for your appointment you should:
- Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes
- Leave valuables at home, including jewelry
- Let us know if you need interpreting services
- Bring a list of your current medications
- Let us know if you experience anxiety related to claustrophobia
- Let your technician know if any of these apply to you: pregnancy, claustrophobia, history of kidney problems, implanted drug infusion device or a pacemaker, allergies or diabetes
