Special SRT Distinction Now Available to ACR-Accredited Practices

The American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO) and the Radiosurgery Society (RSS) have announced that the Special Distinction in Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) will be available to radiation oncology practices accredited through the American College of Radiology® (ACR®). Through the agreement, ACR-accredited radiation oncology practices will be eligible to apply for the SRT Distinction: an advanced quality recognition program jointly developed by ACRO and RSS.

Through this agreement, ACR-accredited radiation oncology practices will now be eligible to apply for the SRT Distinction: an advanced quality recognition program jointly developed by ACRO and RSS. Previously, the distinction was available exclusively to ACRO-accredited practices.

“This distinction allows ACR ROPA sites to enhance their stereotactic programs—not only adding another layer of quality and safety—but showing their patients that they are going above and beyond to excel in patient care," said David C. Beyer, MD, FACR, chair of the American College of Radiology Commission on Radiation Oncology. “As the indications, techniques, and technologies for stereotactic radiation grow, this affiliation between ACRO, RSS and ACR will recognize those programs that truly maintain the state of the art in SRS/SBRT.”
