ACR Accreditation

The Center for Medical Imaging is accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR).  CMI was awarded a three-year term of accreditation for each imaging modality surveyed by ACR, including PET/CT, CT, MR, and Ultrasound.

The Radiologists and staff at CMI are particularly proud of this achievement.  At the heart of undertaking the task of accreditation was the desire to provide the local community with the highest level of faith and trust in the skills, practices, and equipment used at the facility as well as the insuring the confidence for patients, referring physicians, and managed care organizations that only the highest quality care is being provided.

The ACR, headquartered in Reston, VA, awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of the practice.  Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field.  They assess the qualifications of the personnel and the adequacy of facility equipment.  The surveyors report their findings to the ACR’s Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report.

The ACR is a national organization serving more than 32,000 diagnostic and interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, and nuclear medicine and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
