American College of Radiology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American College of Radiology (ACR), founded in 1923, is a non-profit professional medical organization composed of diagnostic radiologists, radiation oncologists, interventional radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists. It is based in Reston, Virginia with offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.. The college publishes The Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR).
ACR provides the only national accreditation program for mammography. The Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992 requires all mammographers in the United States and its territories be accredited by a federally approved private non-profit or state accreditation body.
By 2006, the bipartisan political action committee for the ACR (RADPAC) had become the second largest medical specialty PAC - only four years after its creation.
