Due to recent revisions in the American College of Radiology's (ACR) practice guideline for the performance of breast ultrasound examinations, the Reston, VA-based organization's Committee on Breast Ultrasound Accreditation has updated the program requirements for breast ultrasound accreditation.
The new guideline was approved at the ACR Annual Meeting and Leadership Conference (AMCLC) in May, and went into effect on October 1. The primary changes to the program requirements address interpreting physician qualifications, equipment specifications, and image labeling.
The ACR notes that all facilities that are applying for ACR breast ultrasound accreditation or renewing existing breast ultrasound accreditation must meet the new program requirements.
