Lawrence County Memorial Hospital in Lawrenceville Illinois has been awarded a three year term of accreditation in Full Field Digital Mammography as a result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
The ACR, headquartered in Reston VA awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of the practice. Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the personnel and the adequacy of facility equipment. The surveyors report their findings to the ACR's Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides with a comprehensive report.
The ACR is a national organization serving more than 32,000 diagnostic and interventional radiologist, radiation oncologist, and nuclear medicine and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and delivery of comprehensive health care services.
Lawrence County Memorial Hospital joined with Wabash General Hospital, Fairfield Memorial Hospital and Ferrell Community Hospital to provide this state of the art digital breast imaging. This new service has been available in the community since October 2009. |
