Aug. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- The Breast Program at Shady Grove Radiology has received a three-year Breast MRI program accreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR), reports Larry Busching, COO.  Shady Grove Radiology is currently one of only 5 facilities in Maryland accredited by ACR in breast MRI and one of, only two in Montgomery County.

ACR accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR practice guidelines and technical standards after a peer review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs are assessed.

“Achieving ACR accreditation is a testament to the high level of image quality and patient safety our department provides to our patients, under the guidance of Dr. Robert Isaacs”, Busching said.

What does ACR accreditation mean?

•   Our facility has voluntarily gone through a vigorous review process to ensure that we meet nationally-accepted standards of care.
•   Our personnel are well qualified, through education and certification, to perform medical imaging and interpret your images,
•   Our equipment is appropriate for the test you will receive, and our facility meets or exceeds quality assurance and safety guidelines.
