The American College of Radiology® (ACR®) and its members can work together to overcome supply chain issues and preserve patient access to high-quality care. Report such interruptions and shortages to the ACR Quick Response Team. The College will investigate and issue guidance for members, allied professionals, decisionmakers and the public.  

When a supply chain issue arises, ACR must respond quickly and intelligently to members and other stakeholders about the issue, including apparent magnitude and implications, and provide potential guidance to overcome such challenges and continue to provide the best possible care. 

Potential products at risk: 

  • Radiology specific: Radiology-specific drugs and contrast media, radiopharmaceuticals, scanner equipment.
  • General medical: General medical supplies, PPE, equipment, infrastructure.
