CIS Nuclear Labs Reaccredited by IAC

    HOUMA- Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS) nuclear laboratories have been granted reaccreditation for three years by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) which acknowledges our facility’s commitment to high-quality patient care and quality diagnostic testing.

    To earn this accreditation, CIS’s 10 nuclear laboratories in Houma, Raceland, Thibodaux, Morgan City, New Iberia, Lafayette, Lafayette General, Opelousas, Zachary and Baton Rouge underwent rigorous examinations of operational and technical components by a panel of experts.  The IAC only grants accreditation to facilities that are found to be providing quality patient care in compliance with national standards through a comprehensive application process and detailed case study review.

    Nuclear cardiology procedures are used to assess both cardiac function and blood flow to the heart muscle.  By using nuclear procedures, physicians are able to detect the presence of cardiovascular disease and may also discover important information regarding the potential occurrence of future heart attacks.
