Even though there are about 62 million CT scans performed every year, most patients are unfamiliar with how they can make sure their results are reported accurately. There are many facets of the procedure that contribute to an accurate diagnosis including; the type of equipment used; the skill of the person performing the scan; and the knowledge, education and background of the interpreting physician.
To ensure all these criteria are met, non-profit organization ICACTL certifies facilities that certain facilities are found to provide quality patient care through a comprehensive process including, in part, detailed case study reviews and on-site inspection.
In January 2012, The ICACTL (Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Computer Tomography Laboratories) granted ENT Memphis a three-year term of accreditation in the areas of Sinus and Temporal Bone CT.
These accreditations by the ICACTL mean that ENT Memphis has undergone a thorough review of its’ operational and technical components by a panel of experts. The “seal of approval” indicates that ENT Memphis has been carefully critiqued on all aspects of its operations considered relevant by medical experts in the field of CT.
When you need a CT scan, we encourage you to consider the entire process that may result in an accurate treatment plan. We encourage you to find providers and facilities that are ICACTL accredited.
