ACR Revises Breast Ultrasound Accreditation Program Requirements
Due to recent revisions to the ACR Practice Guideline for the Performance of a Breast Ultrasound Examination, the ACR Committee on Breast Ultrasound Accreditation has updated the program requirements for ACR Breast Ultrasound Accreditation.
The new guideline was approved at the ACR Annual Meeting and Leadership Conference (AMCLC) in May and went into effect Oct. 1, 2007. The primary changes to the program requirements address interpreting physician qualifications, equipment specifications, and image labeling.
All facilities applying for ACR breast ultrasound accreditation or renewing their existing breast ultrasound accreditation must meet the new program requirements.
