Advanced Imaging Services
Digital and film imaging is often a critical part of patient care, and SMRC is continually working to build on our facilities to keep up with new technologies and deliver the best diagnostics to our doctors and patients.
Among our recent acquisitions:
- A permanent MRI machine, the Siemens MAGNETOM (tm) Espree 1.5 Tesla Open Bore MRI, which will be housed in an 1,800 square foot building addition currently under construction
- A 4-D Ultrasound machine, the state-of-the-art in ultrasound imaging, which will greatly enhance our Maternity Services, especially for at-risk pregnancies.
First Impressions 4-D Ultrasound is the newest of our services and will allow expectant parents the opportunity to see what their baby will look like before he or she is even born. Download form >
The primary focus of Advanced Imaging Services at Sumner Regional Medical Center is on diagnostic services. All requests for services are by physician orders only. Our experienced and dedicated imaging staff provides the following daily and 24-hour emergency services:
- Diagnostic radiology (X-ray)
- Ultrasound (Sonograms)
- CT’s, (CAT Scan)
- MRI, (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
- DEXA (Bone Destiny)
- Mammography
Safety Statement
The mammography department is certified by the FDA and is inspected annually as part of the Mammography Quality Standards Act. The CT and general x-ray machines are inspected annually, also. The radiology services offered at SRMC are mainly diagnostic, and because of this there is no threat posed by radiation from the equipment. Diagnostic radiology uses low doses of radiation, unlike radiation therapy, which is a service Sumner Regional Medical Center does not offer.
