Bradford Regional Medical Center’s imaging services department was awarded a three-year CT (computed tomography) accreditation from the American College of Radiology.

The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety and is awarded to facilities meeting practice parameters and technical standards after a peer review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Accreditation is based on image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs.

A CT scan uses a combination of numerous x-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of a specific area.

The ACR, founded in 1924, is a professional medical society dedicated to serving patients and society by empowering radiology professionals to advance the practice, science and professions of radiological care.
