ICANL MISSION STATEMENT
The
ICANL is dedicated to promoting quality nuclear cardiology
and nuclear
medicine diagnostic evaluations in the delivery
of health care by providing a
peer review process of laboratory
accreditation.
Committed to balancing the changing needs of the nuclear medicine, nuclear
cardiology, and PET communities with those of the general public,
the ICANL was created by uniting physicians and technologists
from the sponsoring organizations. Collaborating together, those
physicians and technologists composed the body of work known
as the Standards, an extensive document defining the
minimal requirements for facilities to provide high quality
care. Facilities use the Standards as both a guideline
and the foundation to create and achieve realistic quality care
goals.
ICANL Accreditation is offered in the following testing areas:
NUCLEAR CARDIOLOGY
- Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
- Equilibrium Radionuclide Angiography
NUCLEAR MEDICINE
- Gastrointestinal System Imaging
- Central Nervous System Imaging
- Endocrine System Imaging
- Endocrine System Non-Imaging (e.g., radioiodine uptake)
- Skeletal System Imaging
- Genitourinary System Imaging
- Pulmonary System Imaging
- Infection Imaging
- Tumor Imaging
- Hematopoietic, Reticulendothelial and Lymphatic Imaging
- Other Cardiovascular Imaging
- Nuclear Medicine Therapy
POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET)
- Oncologic Imaging
- Neurologic Imaging
- Cardiac Imaging
