St. Croix Imaging (SCI) has once again been awarded a three-year term of accreditation as the result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
"SCI is very proud of this prestigious and respected accreditation," said Amy Lindstrom, Director of Radiology at St. Croix Imaging. "ACR accreditation represents the highest stamp of approval available for set quality standards in radiology. ACR's extension of our accreditation is a compliment to our quality facility and staff's aptitude."
The ACR, headquartered in Reston, VA, awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of the practice. Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the personnel and the adequacy of facility equipment. The surveyors report their findings to the ACR's Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report.
Located in Stillwater, MN, SCI is a division of St. Croix Orthopaedics, P.A., a full-service orthopaedic clinic that meets the needs of patients in Minnesota, western Wisconsin, and worldwide.
