COLUMBIA, Tenn. – Maury Regional Medical Center has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in nuclear medicine from the American College of Radiology® (ACR). The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. Maury Regional Medical Center has been accredited by ACR in nuclear medicine since 2006.
Nuclear medicine is a specialized branch of radiology that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and treat a variety of diseases and to assess tissue function, metabolism and blood flow. This type of imaging may be used to detect cancer, heart disease and other abnormalities within the body.
The ACR gold seal of accreditation is awarded only to facilities meeting specific requirements based on ACR practice parameters and technical standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed.
Nuclear medicine is among a range of diagnostic imaging services offered at Maury Regional Medical Center, including bone densitometry, CT, mammography, MRI, PET, ultrasound and X-ray. Imaging studies are conducted by skilled radiologic technologists with the results interpreted by board-certified radiologists on the Maury Regional Health medical staff.
