CRMC Upgrades MRI Technology for Faster, Clearer Scans

CROSBY, MN – Cuyuna Regional Medical Center (CRMC) is advancing its MRI capabilities with a system upgrade that brings the latest imaging technology to the community, supporting faster exams, and clearer images. The upgrade reflects CRMC’s ongoing commitment to keeping diagnostic services current with evolving clinical standards and patient expectations. 

What This Means for Patients

The enhanced MRI technology shortens scan times while producing highly detailed images, helping care teams make confident, timely diagnoses and improving the overall patient experience. MRI services continued uninterrupted during the upgrade, which began January 23, with on-site mobile MRI units.
