Description:

The SRU Professional Practice and Standards (PPS) Committee maintains the SRU roster on ACR Practice Parameters that involve ultrasound. Practice Parameters promote the safe and effective use of imaging by describing specific training, skills, techniques and recommended conduct. The goal of the Practice Parameters is to narrow the variability among radiology practices and provide guidance to achieve quality in radiology. They are based on analysis of current literature, expert opinion, open forum commentary and formal consensus. For SRU members, co-authoring an ACR Practice Parameter may result in a publication. The PPS committee serves as a resource and source of advice for SRU representatives on the parameter committees. The committee notifies the SRU membership regarding new published ultrasound standards and coding changes.
