ROCHESTER, N.H., May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Frisbie
Memorial Hospital recently earned American College of Radiology
(ACR) Accreditation renewal in CT scanning for adult and pediatric
patients. Currently, the following modalities in radiology have
been granted ACR Accreditation: CT, Ultrasound, MRI, and Nuclear
Medicine.
The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level
of image quality and patient safety. Board-certified physicians and
medical physicists who are experts in the field award ACR
Accreditation only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Guidelines
and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation. Image
quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment,
quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs are
assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on
Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a
comprehensive report they can use for continuous practice
improvement.
The ACR is a national professional organization serving more
than 34,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation
oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists
with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and
radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care
services.
