Accreditation Statement
The American College of Radiology (ACR) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Credit Designation Statement
The ACR designates these enduring material activities for a maximum of 0.25 or 0.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for each podcast. See specific credit designations within each podcast activity. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

These activities meet the American Board of Radiology’s (ABR) criteria for a self-assessment activity in the ABR’s Maintenance of Certification program. Participation in these activities and successful completion of the corresponding evaluation component enables participants to earn up to 0.25 or 0.5 SA-CME credit.

Only physicians are eligible to be awarded AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. The AMA defines physicians as those individuals who have obtained an MD, DO, or equivalent medical degree from another country.

All other participants in this CME activity may receive a Certificate of Participation that documents participation in an activity designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. For the purposes of recertification, other certification boards may award equivalent Continuing Education (CE) credit when presented with a Certificate of Participation from an activity that was designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. ACR suggests that learners check with their licensing board to ensure they accept reciprocity with AMA Category 1 Credit™.

For information about the accreditation of this program, please contact the ACR at info@acr.org.

How to Claim CME Credit
For each podcast, you must achieve a minimum score of 80% in three attempts on the post-test to receive credit. Estimated time to complete each educational activity is 17-25 minutes.

After completing all questions, click the Submit to Complete button located at the top right of the screen to access a brief survey prior to receiving your certificate. Make sure your browser’s pop-up blocker is turned off.
