ACR Practice Guidelines

These guidelines are an educational tool from our sister college in the USA, designed to assist practitioners in providing appropriate radiologic care for patients

PRACTICE GUIDELINES describe recommended conduct in specific areas of clinical practice. They are based on analysis of current literature, expert opinion, open forum commentary, and informal consensus. Guidelines are not intended to be legal standards of care or conduct and may be modified as determined by individual circumstances and available resources
