Founded in 1865, Saint Barnabas Medical Center is New Jersey's oldest and largest nonprofit, nonsectarian hospital, and among the busiest facilities in New Jersey. Saint Barnabas blends the essential elements of community service with advanced medical and surgical specialties to care for patients throughout the state.

The 645-bed institution cares for over 40,000 inpatients and nearly 60,000 Emergency Department patients each year. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology delivers 7,000 babies annually, more than any other hospital in New Jersey. In addition, the Medical Center and the Saint Barnabas Ambulatory Care Center provide treatment and services for over 300,000 outpatients annually.

Saint Barnabas Medical Center has been involved in graduate medical education for over 100 years. There are more than 150 residents in nine department programs. We are a member of the consortium of teaching institutions including Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, Saint George's University, and The NY College of Osteopathic Medicine. Students from these three schools rotate through Saint Barnabas.

The Diagnostic Radiology program at Saint Barnabas has been training excellent radiologists for nearly 30 years. The department has 2 main divisions; The Medical Center (SBMC) and the Ambulatory Care Center (SBACC). The ACC was established as an imaging center, same day surgery facility, and a site for subspecialty offices in 1998.

The ACC has been filmless using Siemens PACS since its opening (Mammograms are the only studies routinely obtained with film screen technique).

Nearly 250,000 exams are performed yearly in all areas of Radiology. The Department is in the final stages of PACS upgrade. Equipment is state of the art including 5 MRI (including 3 Philips 1.5T units, 1 high field open 1.0T and  1 high field 3.0T), 5 CT (including 3 multi detector spiral CT’s, 1-4 slice, 2-16 slice CTs and 1-64 slice ), 9 US units, 9 gamma cameras (including 5 multihead SPECT capable units) and a newer Siemens IR room. The emergency room is equipped with 2 direct digital x-ray units. All portable x-rays are now obtained digital and interpreted via soft copy. Upcoming additions include a 3.0 Tesla Philips MRI and a High Field 1.0 Tesla MRI.

The Breast Center located in the Ambulatory Care Center performs more than 150 mammograms per day. A full range of Breast intervention is performed daily including stereotactic biopsy and localization, Ultrasound guided aspiration/biopsy and MRI guided needle localization. MRI guided core biopsy is also now performed in the Breast Center.

The Faculty is comprised of 18 full time and 8 part time Radiologists who trained at institutions such as Columbia, MGH, Yale, University of Pennsylvania and Saint Barnabas Medical Center. Fellowship trained faculty are available in Neuroradiology, Interventional Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, Mammography, Pediatric Radiology, Musculoskeletal Radiology, Ultrasonography, Gastrointestinal Radiology and Body imaging.
