Proposed Practice Standards Document Revisions

The Practice Standards Council recommends the proposed revisions to the ASRT Practice Standards for Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy. The council considered the specific criteria recommendations from the Bone Densitometry, Mammography, Radiation Therapy, and Sonography subcommittees.

Overall, many of the recommended changes reflect editorial updates with some minor additions to the specific and general criteria within the document. Supplementary recommendations were suggested for the integration of artificial intelligence applications. Additional revisions can be reviewed in the Introduction and Glossary sections.

Where additions were made to the Practice Standards document, the PSC provided evidentiary documentation to support those changes. The PSC believes these suggested revisions to the document will further strengthen our professional standards of practice.

Thank you for your dedication to the profession and for taking the time to share feedback on the proposed changes to the Practice Standards.

Public comment and review is now open and available until Dec. 11, 2023.

The ASRT House of Delegates will consider proposed practice standards revisions during the Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting June 27-30, in Orlando, FL.
