To achieve this level of accreditation, Porter diagnostic imaging personnel, equipment and quality control procedures went through a rigorous review process, which was overseen by board-certified radiologists and medical physicists highly regarded for their advanced diagnostic imaging experience.

The findings of the review confirmed that Porter’s personnel are well trained and educated to perform medical imaging, interpret the images and administer radiation treatment and that Porter’s equipment is deemed safe and appropriate for use.

We are proud to have received this accreditation from the ACR,” shared Porter CEO Jonathan Nalli. “Our patients can be assured that Porter meets nationally accepted standards of care.”

The ACR is a national professional organization serving more than 34,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
