Casual for the Cause

Today, June 10th, Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology and Long Island Cares are bringing you the largest casual Friday on Long Island!

Freeport Office is Now Open!

On June 3^rd,  2016, Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology opened its newest location at 375 Sunrise Highway in Freeport, just half of a mile east of the Baldwin train station.  This is Zwanger-Pesiri’s eighth office in Nassau county and their 21st office overall.  Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology provides the most advanced technology to its patients, and this office will be the first radiology facility in Nassau to feature a high-field strength, OPEN-SIDED MRI machine.  Zwanger-Pesiri was the first to introduce this unit to patients when they opened their Smithtown West location in November, and then again when their Coram office opened in February.

Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology prides itself on being a patient-centric practice and an Open-Sided MRI unit will accommodate patients who are not comfortable being imaged on a conventional MRI machine.  Zwanger-Pesiri is unwilling to compromise quality for comfort and believes that the Hitachi Oasis 1.2T MRI scanner is the first machine available with the ability to provide excellent images with superior comfort. 

This machine is meant to create a relaxing environment for patients who cannot comfortably receive a standard MRI exam due to their size, age, or fear of tight spaces.  The Open-Sided MRI unit offers the patient an unobstructed view for almost every exam it performs, while still allowing for high quality images.  This new Open-Sided MRI scanner joins Zwanger-Pesiri’s fleet of twenty-one 3T MRI units.  The 3T MRI system has long been regarded as the best medical imaging device available, and is offered at the nearby Merrick and Lynbrook offices.

Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology is the only radiology facility on Long Island to offer both the 3T MRI, which provides a comfortable experience while providing the highest quality images, and the Oasis 1.2T MRI, which delivers high quality images in the most comfortable MRI environment yet.  The Freeport office also offers 3D Mammography, Low-Dose 64-Slice CT, Digital X-ray, DXA Bone Densitometry, and Ultrasound.

Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology Named a Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence

Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology Designated as ACR 

Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence

We are proud and honored to announce that on May 12, 2016, Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology locations across Long Island were designated Diagnostic Imaging Centers of Excellence™ (DICOE) by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

The DICOE program represents the pinnacle of medical imaging care and is an achievement that goes beyond accreditation to recognize the highest-quality imaging practices and diagnostic care. To attain this distinction a comprehensive assessment of the entire medical imaging enterprise, including structure and outcomes, must be performed. The DICOE designation recognizes excellence at multiple levels — including the professional staff, the technology and the policies and procedures the organization follows — and superior patient care.  All of which are qualities that Zwanger-Pesiri has been focused on since the practice’s establishment in 1958.

In order to receive this elite distinction, facilities must be accredited by the ACR in all modalities they provide, and in which the ACR offers an accreditation program. Another requirement is to participate in the Dose Index Registry® and General Radiology Improvement Database, as well as Image Wisely® and Image Gently®.

The ACR, founded in 1924, is one of the largest and most influential medical associations in the United States. The ACR devotes its resources to making imaging and radiation therapy safe, effective and accessible to those who need it. Its 36,000 members include radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, interventional radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians.
