Test: Accreditation in Nuclear Medicine

1.  Accreditation is important because...:

        It ensures that diagnostic studies are performed in a timely manner and of high quality.

        Nuclear Medicine departments are required by the NRC to have independent accreditation

        Nuclear Medicine departments should all be using exactly the same protocols for studies

        Agreement states have agreed that accreditation is necessary when you renew your license.

2.  Which statement is correct ?:

        ICANL accreditation fees cover application fees, selected modules and a random on-site visit.

        ACR accreditation fees cover application fees, selected modules, and a mandatory on-site visit.

        ICANL accreditation fees cover application fees, selected modules and a mandatory on-site visit.

        ACR accreditation fees cover application fees, selected modules and a voluntary on-site visit.

3.  Both ACR and ICANL have accreditation modules in... :

        Nuclear Medicine

        Nuclear Cardiology

        PET

        All of the Above

4.    Which statement is correct?:

        ICANL is radiology oriented while ACR is multi-disciplined

        ACR is radiology oriented, with an emphasis on quality control of equipment; while ICANL emphasizes case reviews and protocols

        ICANL accreditation is site specific while ACR will approve multiple sites under one accreditation

        ACR approval means you can use every camera on-site, even though not all of them passed

5.  In both accreditations, nuclear medical technologists need how much continuing education prior to application?:

        24 hours of direct CE (Category 1)  over the last 2 years

        24 hours of direct CE (Category 1)  over the last 3 years

        15 hours of direct CE (Category 1)  over the last 3 years

        15 hours of direct CE (Category 1)  over the last 2 years

6.   The most common issues of deficiencies in applicants for accreditation is...:

        Protocols, Reports, Radiation Safety issues, Imaging Issues and Quality Control

        Time of exams, too few patients, no credentialed physician reading

        No constancy records, no license accessible to on-site visit

        Therapeutic doses are not properly logged

7.   What is crucial to ACR accreditation?:

        Using a Jaszczak Phantom to run quality control for SPECT imaging and adhering to the protocols sent out by ACR

        All images submitted MUST include lateralities and orientation

        Developing a peer review process for quality assurance

          All of the Above

8.    If a facility is denied accreditation with issues of hot lab security, it is more likely denied from...:

        ACR

        ICANL

        ARRT

        SNM

9.   A common reason why medical reports would be considered deficient would be...: 

        The report does not contain the actual radiopharmaceutical dosage

        The report lacks a succinct summary

          The report failed in timeliness or lacked a signature

        All of the Above

10.   Which of the following statements is INCORRECT ?:

        If full accreditation is granted by ICANL, it must be renewed at the same time your radiation site license needs to be renewed

        Independent accreditation is voluntary, but a good idea if your facility is open to a good marketing tool

        Insurance companies are moving in a direction where accreditation will become necessary in the future

        Independent accreditation is unrelated to renewal of site licenses

11.  True or False- ACR accreditation requires patient satisfaction surveys.:

        True

        False

12.  Which statement is correct ?:

        ICANL requires administrative policies for infection control and patient assessment

        ACR requires administrative policies for insurance prequalification for patients

        ICANL requires TB testing for all imaging personnel

        ACR requires TB testing for all imaging personnel

13.  ACR stresses the importance of correct patient labeling of lateralities... :

        True

        False

14.    Which statement is correct?:

        ICANL stands for the Internal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories

        ICANL stands for the International Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories

        ICANL stands for the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories

        ICANL stands for the International Committee for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories

15. Which statement is correct?:

        ACR stands for the American Academic Commission of Radiologic Science

        ACR stands for the American College of Radiology

        ACR stands for the American College of Roentgenology

        ACR stands for the Academy of Committees regarding Radiology

16.   Which statement is correct?:

        Developing a Peer Review process is supported by the NRC

        Developing a Peer Review process is supported by the ACR and ICANL

        Developing a Peer Review process is not supported by the ACR

        Developing a Peer Review process is not supported by ICANL

17.   Which statement is correct:

        Accreditation allows a facility to market itself as meeting higher standards than non-accredited facilities

        Accreditation allows patients to feel they are receiving high quality healthcare

        Accreditation allows insurance companies to feel their healthcare dollars are wisely spent

          All of the Above

18.    If a facility is denied accreditation with issues of quality control of the camera, it is more likely denied from...:

        ACR

        ICANL

        ARRT

        SNM

19.   ICANL has specific modules in PET for:

        Therapy, Gastroenterology and Pulmonary

        Endocrine, Hematology, and Orthopedic

          Oncology, Cardiology and Neurology

        All of the Above

20.  ACR accreditation in Nuclear Medicine can be obtained for Planar, Spect or PET- or any combination of the three..:

        True

        False
