What is ACR accreditation support?

ACR accreditation support is end-to-end help getting and keeping accreditation from the American College of Radiology — physics testing, image-quality review, protocol development, documentation, and submission coordination, all performed by a board-certified medical physicist. DRPS also provides physics support for IAC, RadSite, and Joint Commission imaging accreditation.

ACR programs we support

CT — ACR CT Accreditation Program (CTAP)

Full physics testing, image-quality review, dose documentation, and submission coordination for CT scanners, including cone-beam CT systems.

MRI — ACR MRI Accreditation Program (MRAP)

Physics testing, image-quality phantom work, protocol review, and submission prep for MRI systems.

Mammography — ACR Mammography Accreditation Program (MAP)

Mammography physicist survey, clinical image review, and full ACR-MAP submission package.

PET — ACR PET Accreditation Program (PETAP)

Equipment performance evaluations and image-quality documentation for PET and PET/CT systems.

Nuclear Medicine — ACR Nuclear Medicine Accreditation Program (NMAP)

Physics testing and accreditation documentation for SPECT, gamma camera, and planar nuclear medicine systems.

Ultrasound — ACR Ultrasound Accreditation Program (UAP)

Physics testing and image-quality review for general ultrasound, breast ultrasound, and stereotactic breast biopsy programs.

IAC, RadSite, and Joint Commission support

Beyond ACR, DRPS provides the medical-physics testing and documentation needed for IAC (Intersocietal Accreditation Commission), RadSite, and Joint Commission imaging accreditation — equipment performance evaluations, image-quality reviews, and submission support tailored to each program's requirements.

What we deliver

Physics testing

Full-coverage equipment performance evaluations — dose, image quality, and safety — formatted to the relevant ACR accreditation program.

Clinical image review

Medical-physicist review of clinical images against ACR quality standards, with actionable protocol feedback.

Protocol development

Imaging protocols that meet accreditation requirements while balancing image quality and dose.

Documentation preparation

All physics documentation required for submission: test reports, equipment specifications, and QA records.

Submission coordination

We prepare the materials, coordinate with ACR, and respond to inquiries until the accreditation decision is issued.

Mock inspections

Pre-accreditation walk-through to identify and resolve issues before the formal review.

Ongoing support

Annual physics testing, documentation updates, and reaccreditation preparation — accreditation is not a one-time event.

Accreditation success guarantee

If an accreditation package we prepare does not achieve accreditation, we cover the resubmission fees. Confidence in our work, not fine print.

Service area

DRPS serves facilities across Florida, Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, California, Nevada, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.

FAQ

How long does ACR accreditation take?

Typically 3–6 months from submission to decision, depending on modality and program status. Complete, well-prepared applications move faster.

Which ACR programs do you support?

CT, MRI, mammography, PET, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, breast ultrasound, and stereotactic breast biopsy.

Can you handle multiple modalities at one facility?

Yes — we commonly support facilities through simultaneous multi-modality accreditation cycles.

What if we don't pass on the first try?

Our guarantee covers resubmission fees. We work with your team to address any deficiencies and resubmit.

Do you handle reaccreditation?

Yes — annual testing, documentation upkeep, and the full reaccreditation cycle.
