The American College of Radiology (ACR) has launched a cardiac MRI accreditation program that evaluates the qualifications of personnel, quality control programs, MRI safety policies, and image quality specific to cardiac MRI.
The ACR accreditation in cardiac MRI requires that physicians supervising and interpreting the exams meet stringent education and training standards, imaging equipment is surveyed regularly by qualified medical physicists to ensure that it is functioning properly, and technologists administering the tests are certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), according to the Reston, VA-based organization.
