Radiology Services at MidState Medical Center Earns Lung Screening Cancer Center Designation

April 15, 2015

MidState Medical Center's Radiology Services is proud to announce it has been designated a Lung Screening Cancer Center by the American College of Radiology (ACR). To apply for the designation, the Radiology team ensured all of its protocols met the standards for certification. Obtaining accreditation is an important step toward joining a national registry that will allow MidState's Lung Cancer Screening Program to serve Medicare patients. Like many programs across the nation, MidState's program will be making its transition from a research undertaking to an insurance-covered service. Since the launch of the program in summer 2013, MidState has screened over 400 patients for lung cancer.
