Medical Imaging

Your Home for Excellence in Medical Imaging.

The Medical Imaging department at MDI Hospital provides state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services typically found in large, urban facilities. Located on the Hospital’s first floor and staffed with highly skilled, certified technicians, the department provides convenient access to the latest imaging services. The Naihe & Estacio Memorial MRI Wing opened in the Summer of 2022 and houses MDI Hospital’s new Philips Ingenia Ambition wide-bore MRI, one of the most advanced MRI units in Maine.

MDI Hospital was first to earn the national Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence designation.

Mount Desert Island Hospital is the first hospital in the nation to receive the Diagnostic Imaging Centers of Excellence (DICOE) recognition from the American College of Radiology and has continued to earn the designation.

The award is formal recognition for meeting a stringent set of standards in every aspect of medical imaging. “There is a great deal of satisfaction in being recognized with the DICOE award because it confirms our dedication and success in protecting the health of our rural, island-based population,” said Philip Pizzola, BHCM, R.T. (R), Director of Imaging Services at MDI Hospital. “Our patients know, and this honor confirms, that they will receive the best patient-centered diagnostic care when they come through our doors.”
