Radiology uses many types of techniques to produce pictures and images of the inside of the body. These procedures help find the precice location of a problem, such as a broken bone, blocked artery or tumor, and provide a visual image for doctors to plan the most effective care and treatment possible. Radiology procedures performed at Community Medical Center include diagnostic radiography and fluoroscopy, computerized tomography (CT), mammography, nuclear imaging, ultrasound, angiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
You will find the most advanced, state-of-the-art radiology equipment at our facility which produces the highest quality studies and the ultimate in image resolution. This technology has far reaching applications for numerous disciplines including oncology, cardiology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, neurology and endocrinology.
Dr. Joseph Triolo, Chairman of Radiology, has initiated some of the newest technology available in the Radiology industry. He was instrumental with the transition to digital imaging (PACS) in 2004, an advance that speeds diagnosis and treatment for all patients at our hospital. Dr. Triolo spearheaded the addition of a 3 Tesla MRI, and a 64 Slice CT Scanner in 2006, both of which were the first in Ocean County.
Exposure to radiation can be of concern for some people. Any potential risk of radiation exposure should be balanced against the benefits derived from the exposure. Although no adverse health effects have been directly linked to low-dose radiation exposure, Community Medical Center is very concerned about the safety of patients and our board-certified medical physicist supervises an extensive radiation safety program.

Our Services
Who We Are
When you visit our Radiology Department, you will find efficient, friendly and reliable service. Our professional staff is comprised of board-certified radiologists, radiographers, a variety of technologists, sonographers and nurses, all specially trained or credentialed in their respective field on state and national levels.
A radiologist is a medical doctor who has completed training to supervise, perform and interpret images. At Community Medical Center, All of our radiologists have completed specialized training in their field.
Once your examination is complete, the images will be studied and interpreted by one of our radiologists. The radiologist studies and reads the pictures and sends a written report to the referring doctor. Your doctor will receive the radiologist’s report to the referring doctor. Your doctor will receive the radiologist’s report and will inform you of the results. If you have questions about the report, do not hesitate to ask you doctor. To avoid confusion, the radiologist usually does not discuss the report with the patient.
Radiographers use radiology equipment to produce images of the tissues, organs, bones and vessels of the body, as prescribed by physicians.
Nuclear medicine technologists administer radioactive pharmaceuticals to patients, and then monitor the characteristics and functions of tissues or organs being studied by creating an image on photographic film or computer monitor.
An ultrasonographer uses ultrasound equipment (sound waves) to gather sonographic data used to diagnose a variety of conditions and diseases, as well as monitor fetal development.
