AMAZING MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

A Bright Future for the Virginia Peninsula

The Virginia Peninsula is growing and thriving and part of that growth is the proposed $115 million expansion and re-design of the campus of Riverside Regional Medical Center. Even today, advanced medical technologies are providing our physicians with new tools for diagnosis. At Riverside, we’re leading the way in the practice of 21st century medicine.

The M2ATM pill cam is a new imaging device. The camera is a disposable pill that is swallowed and passes through the small intestine, transmitting images along the way. Riverside is the first hospital in Hampton Roads to offer the M2ATM Capsule Endoscope.

The Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanner is a new tool for diagnosing certain types of cancer. Riverside’s scanner offers state of the art technology and is the first to serve the Virginia Peninsula.

The Heart CT unit (also referred to as cardiac scoring) is a new, non-invasive screening used to predict heart disease in its earliest stages. Acomputerized tomography (CT) scan produces x-ray images of the heart and measures the amount of calcium in the coronary arteries.
