The Maury Regional Women’s Center is proud to announce that it has earned the American College of Radiology (ACR) accreditation for breast ultrasound and ultrasound-guided biopsy. This reaccreditation, effective until 2028, recognizes the center’s commitment to providing high-quality imaging and diagnostic services that meet or exceed national standards in radiology.
“Receiving this accreditation from the American College of Radiology highlights the dedication and experience of our team at the Women’s Center,” said CEO Martin Chaney, MD. “Almost every family has been impacted by breast cancer, including my own. The Women’s Center strives for excellence every day to serve the women of our community — especially women who are high-risk for breast cancer and for those undergoing breast ultrasound and biopsy procedures.”
Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of internal body parts to help physicians diagnose and better treat medical conditions. Ultrasound imaging of the breast produces a picture of the internal structures of the breast. An ultrasound-guided biopsy is a procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to guide a needle to extract a tissue sample for analysis.
The ACR is a professional medical society that accredits facilities based on rigorous peer-review evaluations conducted by board-certified radiologists and medical physicists. This comprehensive review process assesses the qualifications of personnel, equipment performance, quality control procedures and overall quality assurance. The accreditation is recognized as a national gold standard in radiology, validating Maury Regional Women’s Center’s ongoing dedication to quality, safety and patient care.
This accreditation also reflects Maury Regional Women’s Center’s continuous efforts to maintain high levels of precision and accuracy in diagnostics imaging. Breast ultrasound and ultrasound-guided biopsies are critical tools for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, allowing physicians to identify and address concerns swiftly and effectively.
The Women’s Center, located in the Pavilion at Maury Regional Medical Center, provides a convenient, private and pleasant environment for women’s health services, such as 3D mammography, breast biopsy, breast ultrasound and bone density studies.
