We are pleased to announce that Quest Imaging has recently added several ACR accreditations to its certifications.

Look for the ACR accreditation seal! When you see the seal, you know:

• Your hospital, clinic or health center has voluntarily gone through a rigorous review process to be sure it meets nationally accepted standards.
• The personnel are well qualified, through education and certification, to perform and interpret your medical images and administer your radiation therapy treatments.
• The equipment is appropriate for the test or treatment you will receive, and the facility meets or exceeds quality assurance and safety guidelines.

Quest Imaging is also PET Accredited. However, the seal is not available via the web.

Please contact Quest Imaging if you have any questions about our ACR Certifications! For more information about the ACR, please visit http://acr.org/.

Quest Imaging Medical Associates Installs Siemens 1.5T MAGNETOM Espree
 – The world’s first Open Bore MRI

Siemens Magnetom Espree The Future of Open MRI Arrives in Bakersfield

Quest Imaging, has installed the region’s first Open Bore, 1.5 Tesla, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system that combines a larger bore, or opening, for obese and claustrophobic patients with the ability to capture high-field quality diagnostic images.

“This is going to increase our efficiency and patient convenience,” says Donald Fitzgerald, M.D. “The patient-friendly design of this magnet will make it easier for large patients and those with claustrophobia to have a MRI examination which produces higher quality images. This will potentially reduce the need to repeat and interrupt exams.”
