FAYETTEVILLE – Cape Fear Valley Health has received a gold seal of accreditation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from the American College of Radiology (ACR). The accreditation is for three years.
MRIs are noninvasive tests utilizing magnetic fields to produce images of internal body parts to help physicians diagnose and treat medical problems.
The ACR gold seal is awarded for the highest level of image quality and patient safety, and is only given to facilities meeting strict ACR practice guidelines and technical standards. All recipient facilities must pass evaluations by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field.
Criteria judged include: quality, personnel qualifications, equipment adequacy, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs.
