Our Quality Standards

Quality imaging is at the heart of what we do. We are constantly vigilant to uphold the strict image, technology, education and quality standards required by the FDA, the American College of Radiology (ACR) and our own practice.

FDA Certification

All WakeRad UNC REX outpatient breast imaging offices are FDA certified. We participate in annual reviews by federal inspectors who evaluate our imaging equipment, verify the credentials and training of our technologists and radiologists, and perform random quality control checks on images. Our FDA certification also proves that all of our offices meet expectations outlined in the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA).

ACR Accreditation

WakeRad UNC REX is proud to have also received the highest ACR accreditations possible for imaging in the United States. We are proud to have been continuously certified by the FDA and accredited by the ACR since the accreditations became mandatory in the early 1990s.

Earning these designations signifies that our practice is among the best in the specialty and demonstrates the quality and range of radiology exams we perform. To maintain our accreditation, we must pass inspection for these standards every three years.
