The ACR gold seal of 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.
“This award demonstrates our commitment to giving our patients the best in imaging quality so they can receive the most accurate diagnosis,” said Christine Cooper, MS, CNMT, director of Radiology/Cardiology.“In addition, this accreditation is a reflection of our hard-working staff and their dedication to providing high-quality care.”
MRI is a noninvasive medical test that utilizes magnetic fields to produce anatomical images of internal body parts to help physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.
In awarding accreditation, ACR’s experts assessed Griffin Hospital’s image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs.
The findings were reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provided the hospital with a comprehensive report it can use for continuous practice improvement.
The ACR is a national professional organization serving more than 34,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
