ACR Imaging AccreditationIt’s the right thing to do

American College of Radiology (ACR) accreditation is a peer-reviewed, educationally focused evaluation process to help you assure your patients of the highest level of image quality and safety. It documents that your facility meets accreditation requirements for equipment, continuing education and personnel. Clinical and phantom image quality review as well as radiation dose assessments are critical elements of accreditation.

Successful accreditation is a clear differentiator for your imaging services and demonstrates your commitment to delivering quality patient care.

Accreditation of your site is not only the right thing to do, it also helps your facility meet governmental and third-party payer criteria.
