Read moreThe American College of Radiology® (ACR®) Committee on Drugs and Contrast Media this week released a revised contrast statement that provides flexibility to facilities for contrast studies while maintaining patient safety.

Healthcare providers with the capabilities specified in the contrast statement can provide the service on-site, as long as those qualifications and the process are consistent with state and local laws and policies, as well as the process and policies of the service site.
