Imaging / Radiology
The professional team at Mary Lanning Healthcare provides comprehensive, high-quality diagnostic imaging services in a compassionate and caring environment.
Patients in need of imaging services rely on Mary Lanning Healthcare for convenient and timely diagnostic testing, performed by skilled professionals. Services provided include:
X-ray/Fluoroscopy
X-ray scans use a small amount of ionizing radiation to see images of the body’s internal structure. Fluoroscopy uses the same process but providers see live, moving images.
Bone density testing
Bone Densitometry (dual-energy-x-ray-absorptiometry or DEXA) is considered to be "The Gold Standard" diagnosing osteoporosis or bone loss.
CT
Computed Tomography (CT) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that combines the use of x-rays with computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (“slices”) of the body. The images produced are more detailed than those of an ordinary x-ray. CT images can be reconstructed into other planes to assist with diagnosis. Information from these slices can be used to produce a 3-D image.
Mammography
Mary Lanning Healthcare is fully accredited by the American College of Radiology to perform 3D breast imaging using low-dose x-ray imaging to detect cancer early.
MRI
An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a painless test that uses a large magnet, radio waves and a computer to produce clear images of structure and organs inside the body.
The MRI’s magnetic field is not harmful to you but may interfere with any implanted medical devices. Your healthcare provider will determine whether an MRI scan is safe for you.
Nuclear Medicine/PET
The small amounts of radiopharmaceuticals are introduced into the body by injection, inhalation, or swallowing prior to taking the images for your exam.
Mary Lanning Healthcare provides in-house PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scans. It is a type of molecular imaging that uses a small amount of radioactivity to show how the body is functioning on a cellular level. CT stands for Computed Tomography and is a type of X-ray that can show cross-sectional images of the anatomy.
The PET/CT exam combines the two types of imaging into a single set of images. This can provide detail on both the anatomy and function of organs and tissues, enabling physicians to diagnose and identify disease more accurately.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound, or sonogram, is an image produced by high-frequency (ultrasonic) sound waves to visualize soft tissue structures, organs, and blood vessels within the body. These images can help provide valuable information for diagnosing and treating a variety of diseases and conditions.
Interventional radiology & pain procedures
Using a minimally-invasive procedure, Interventional radiology brings image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in the body. Procedures can be completed using x-ray, ultrasound or CT guidance.

Betsy Quandt of Loup City
For Loup City mother Betsy Quandt, having choices and a voice was most important for her when she chose to deliver her babies at Mary Lanning Healthcare.
“When you go to the hospital, you have to kind of give up your autonomy to them in many ways,” Quandt said. “It’s really uncomfortable if you aren’t on the same page.”
Quandt’s first child, Ronin, was stillborn. Her second child, Hudson, now 5, was born early and had to spend several weeks in the NICU. Quandt said she is still…

Megan Higer of Hastings
Not many 30-year-olds spend a lot of time thinking about breast cancer. Luckily, Megan Higer did...
Because Megan’s mom had already been through breast cancer treatment, Megan knew what to do when a self-exam revealed reason for concern. The
Hastings veterinary assistant said she didn’t think twice about getting in touch with the Morrison Cancer Center.
Following surgery, Megan underwent chemotherapy with Dr. Soe Min Tun and Carlene Springer, APRN, and has recently completed…

Greg Sinner of Hastings
For Hastings resident Greg Sinner, life changed on February 1, 2023, when he was told he had cancer.
“One minute, life is routine and running fast; then the doctor sits you down and tells you that you have cancer, and everything changes.”
Right away, Sinner was put in touch with the Morrison Cancer Center and Dr. M. Sitki Copur, where he had an appointment a few days later. Dr. Copur created an aggressive plan of radiation and chemotherapy to shrink Sinner’s tumor. The goal was…
