The Medical Center at Caverna Earns ACR Accreditation
The Medical Center at Caverna has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in mammography as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). Mammography is a specific type of imaging test that uses a low-dose X-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
The staff at The Medical Center at Caverna is proud to receive this accreditation once again. “ACR accreditation is basically the gold star for Radiology,” said Brittany Waddle, Radiology Manager of The Medical Center at Caverna. “This means we have been rigorously reviewed on our image quality to ensure we are providing top-of-the-line breast imaging to our patients. We were very excited when we received our accreditation. To accomplish this has been rewarding, as a whole.”See More
