More and more americans are becoming overweight and losing control of their lives. The national organization reaccredited three key procedures in the early detection of breast cancer. Separate evaluations focused on mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy and ultrasound. Through these accreditation processes, the American College of Radiology sets high quality standard by which all facilities can be measured. ACR teams examined every aspect of the procedures including qualifications of the staff, equipment, image quality, breast dose, quality control and quality assurance programs.
Accreditation is awarded for a period of three years.
It is granted only to facilities that meet high standards of practice. The evaluations are conducted by ACR members with special expertise in the procedures. Accreditation demonstrates the depth of our commitment to providing women with the best possible care. The American College of Radiology services more than 30,000 radiologists, radiation oncologists and medical physicians nationwide. Programs focus on the practice of radiology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
