| Oakwood Imaging Center receives accreditation in multiple services |

Oakwood Imaging Center has recently been awarded accreditation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) , computed tomography (CT) , and vascular/general ultrasonography as the result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology (ACR). Earning accreditation in all of these areas makes Oakwood Imaging Center the only hospital-owned outpatient-imaging center to be accredited in all three services in southeastern Michigan.
This achievement demonstrates to patients, families and physicians that Oakwood has undergone a rigorous review process and meets nationally accepted standards of care.
“We are honored to receive these accreditations and to be recognized by the American College of Radiology as being experts in clinical imaging quality,” said Tim Vargas, director of imaging services, Oakwood Healthcare System. “It affirms our commitment to providing the physicians and communities we serve with the highest level of quality care.”
The ACR awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of its practice. Board-certified radiologists and medical physicists who are experts in the field conduct image quality and procedure evaluations.
The program also evaluates personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs. The surveyors report their findings to the ACR’s Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report.
The ACR is a national organization serving more than 32,000 diagnostic-interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine and medical physicists. Programs focus on the practice of medical imaging, radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
