Updates in Outpatient Imaging Sites
Johns Hopkins Medical Imaging (JHMI) outpatient sites continue to bring expanded imaging services and Johns Hopkins expertise to communities. In 2023, Danielle Karavedas was confirmed as president of JHMI, and the PET/CT center at Green Spring Station Pavilion I officially opened. In this brand-new clinical suite, patients can receive the latest in nuclear medicine imaging from a team of dedicated nurses, technologists and Johns Hopkins faculty radiologists. PET/CT scans include dotatate for neuroendocrine cancers, a first-time outpatient scan for Johns Hopkins Radiology, along with PSMA and FDG oncology imaging.
The second JHMI site in Columbia at Wilde Lake is well underway, with construction planned to start in 2023. Phase 1 will open with MRI, CT and X-ray services. Additional locations will see an upgrade in services, with a new PET/CT scanner and new mammography units planned for Bethesda; a new MRI, CT and DEXA scanner for White Marsh; and new mammography units at Green Spring Station. Throughout these changes, technologists, educators, radiologists and physicists have been in close collaboration to ensure new scanners are calibrated and equipped to the Johns Hopkins standards for high-quality and safe imaging.
