Field Review
Starting this year, the draft Practice Parameters and Technical Standards will all be available for comment for seven weeks, instead of four separate cycles.
The draft PP&TS documents being considered at the 2024 ACR Annual Meeting are available for commenting starting August 21, 2023.
Field review is the last opportunity to make changes to Practice Parameters & Technical Standards during the review process. It is strongly encouraged for members to review documents during field review. Factual errors, grammar, and misspellings may be submitted directly to ACR staff at any time.
Field Review Cycle for 2023 opens August 21st, 2023, and will close October 6th, 2023. All applicable Practice Parameters and Technical Standards will be available for comment via Document Online Commenting Tool (DOCS) and will require login credentials.
