Earns ACR Gold Seal Ultrasound Accreditation
(Clarkston, MI) — Associated Radiologists of Clarkston (AROC) has been awarded a threeyear term of accreditation in ultrasound imaging as the result of an extensive review by the

images of internal body parts to help providers diagnose illness, injury, or other medical
problems.
The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient
safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Guidelines and Technical Standards,
following a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are
experts in the field.

scan, including claustrophobic or anxious patients, children and those with difficulty breathing.

radiologists, ensuring quality, saving time and affording doctors easier access to AROC
