Abstract
The American College of Radiology's (ACR) Nuclear Medicine and PET Accreditation Programs evaluate qualifications of personnel, equipment, image quality, and quality control measures. It is believed that these are primary factors that impact the quality of patient imaging. The ACR accreditation allows facilities to critique and improve their practices as part of their preparation for the accreditation evaluation process. The goals of the ACR Nuclear Medicine and PET Accreditation Programs are improvement in the quality of imaging, provision of educational information by raising awareness of imaging issues, and the recognition of imaging facilities which meet program objectives. This presentation will outline the program requirements, highlighting some of the common pitfalls that may cause deficiencies in both the clinical and phantom submissions.This presentation will provide participants with:1. General information describing the ACR Accreditation Programs2. Information about the Diagnostic Modality Accreditation Programs3. Specific information about the ACR Nuclear Medicine and PET Accreditation Program, to include the application process, clinical images submission and quality control requirements.
