New ACR document helps providers with XR-29 compliance
The American College of Radiology (ACR) has shared a new FAQ that helps healthcare providers make sure their CT equipment is compliant with the XR-29-2013 standard, also known as Smart Dose CT.
Beginning Jan. 1, 2016, Medicare will pay less for scans performed on CT systems found to not comply with this standard.
The full ACR document can be found here.
In June, the Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance released a white paper with additional information about the standard.
