One of our core areas of service and expertise is ACR accreditation. As more facilities are required to be accredited, it is important to have qualified physicists whom you can trust to do the job properly and responsibly. Alliance Medical Physics provides unparalleled support for all ACR accreditation programs. We keep current with the latest changes for all ACR programs.

Alliance provides ACR accreditation services for:

• Mammography


• Stereotactic Breast Biopsy


• PET


• Nuclear Medicine Gamma Camera


• SPECT


• CT


• MRI


• Breast MRI


• Ultrasound


• Breast Ultrasound

• Alliance physicists maintain their proficiency by keeping current with ACR qualifications and training for each modality.


• Accreditation phantom scans are peer-reviewed to ensure that your facility will have a quality submission.


• Several Alliance physicists are ACR members and some even serve on ACR accreditation committees.


• Having 9 qualified physicists for various ACR programs allows Alliance to respond quickly to your needs. This is especially important when you are in a time crunch to submit your ACR testing materials.


• Alliance physicists perform hundreds of annual and ACR accreditation surveys on the above modalities every year with a very high phantom submission pass rate on the first submission. We significantly exceed the current ACR requirements for the minimum number of surveys. Each physicist has extensive training in all accreditation modalities.


• Alliance provides our own ACR phantoms for scanning. In some cases this may result in cost savings for your facility.


• In most cases ACR assistance is combined with the annual physics survey of the modality resulting in cost savings and reduced down time for the client.

• Guidance through the initial application process


• Unlimited Phone and E-mail Support - Throughout the accreditation process we are available by phone or e-mail to answer any questions or issues that may arise.


• Phantom Scanning and Image Preparation - Alliance physicists take the time to get phantom images and associated paperwork right the first time. We will work with service to get the job done right and according to the intent of the accreditation program.


• Review and Assist with the ACR “testing materials” Packet - Navigating the extensive paperwork involved with the accreditation process can seem daunting. Let Alliance take the confusion out of the paperwork, help you get organized and on the path to passing ACR accreditation.


• Provide Guidance on Clinical Image Preparation and Paperwork - While the radiologist is ultimately responsible for the clinical image quality and the technologist for acquiring the clinical images, Alliance can assist with avoiding common clinical pitfalls, reviewing clinical protocols (where applicable), and providing guidance on ACR clinical requirements.
