MONROE - Monroe Clinic's Computed Tomography team recently achieved accreditation through the American College of Radiology.

The CT Accreditation Program involves the acquisition of clinical and phantom images, dose measurements and the submission of scanning protocols. It also evaluates staff qualifications, quality control, radiation safety policies and image quality. Monroe Clinic's imaging team adds CT to the list of Monroe Clinic ACR accredited modalities, which include MRI, Nuclear Medicine, PET/CT and Digital Mammography.

To earn accreditation from the ACR, an imaging team achieves gold standards in quality control, safety, staff accreditation and image quality and demonstrates the commitment to providing the safest and best quality care possible.

The American College of Radiology accreditation programs for diagnostic imaging are modality based. They assess the qualifications of personnel, policies and procedures, equipment specifications, quality assurance activities, patient safety, image quality, and ultimately the quality of patient care. These evaluations focus on the process of delivering diagnostic imaging care.
