The American College of Radiology (ACR) has published a new version of its appropriateness criteria, which are evidence-based guidelines intended to help healthcare providers select the most appropriate medical imaging exam or radiation therapy.
The new version of the ACR Appropriateness Criteria includes updates of 23 topics with four additional ones. The new guidelines are for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, renal transplant dysfunction, management of locoregionally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva, and treatment of stage I T1 glottic cancer.
The guidelines currently include 186 topics with more than 900 variants, ACR said.
