CT

MCMC’s 64 Slice CT Scanner offers the ability to image any part of the body, very fast, and with a reduced radiation exposure. It produces detailed images of any body part. CT scans may be performed to help diagnose tumors, investigate internal bleeding or check for other internal injuries or damage.

MRI

Our in-house MRI with a robust magnet offers the fastest, most accurate testing in the area. MRI scans provide detailed imaging of all areas of the body. MRI testing is exceptionally good at imaging nerves, tendons, muscle, joints, disks and soft tissue.

MAMMOGRAPHY

Mammography is the most advanced screening to detect breast cancer. Women are encouraged to have annual mammograms beginning at age 40. A provider order is not required to schedule a mammogram. Please encourage your loved ones to get screened.

ULTRASOUND

Murray County Medical Center offers a wide variety of ultrasound procedures. Ultrasound offers a safe way to image parts of the body by using high frequency sound waves. This form of imaging is useful in diagnosing conditions, as well as evaluating fetal growth and development. If you are expecting, schedule your OB ultrasounds here in Slayton, close to home.

QUESTIONS ON YOUR MIND
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT RADIATION SAFETY?

Before your imaging procedure be sure to ask your physician the following questions:

​

  • Why is the test needed?

  • How will having the test improve my care?

  • Are there alternatives that do not use radiation and deliver similar results?

  • Is the facility accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR)?

  • Are pediatric and adult tests delivered using the appropriate radiation doses?

WHY SHOULD I HAVE MY IMAGING EXAM DONE AT AN ACCREDITED FACILITY?

When you see the gold seals of accreditation prominently displayed in our imaging facility, you can be sure that you are in a facility that meets standards for imaging quality and safety. Look for the ACR Gold Seals of Accreditation.


To achieve the ACR Gold Standard of Accreditation, our facility’s personnel qualifications, equipment requirements, quality assurance, and quality control procedures have gone through a rigorous review process and have met specific qualifications. It’s important for patients to know that every aspect of the ACR accreditation process is overseen by board-certified, expert radiologists and medical physicists in advanced diagnostic imaging.

WHAT DOES ACR ACCREDITATION MEAN?

  • Our facility has voluntarily gone through a vigorous review process to ensure that we meet nationally-accepted standards of care.

  • Our personnel are well qualified, through education and certification, to perform mdical imaging, interpret your images, and administer your radiation therapy treatments.

  • Our equipment is appropriate for the test or treatment you will receive, and our facility meets or exceeds quality assurance and safety guidelines.

WHAT DOES THE GOLD SEAL MEAN?
