ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards (PP&TS) promote the safe and effective use of diagnostic and therapeutic radiology by describing specific training, skills, and techniques. PP&TS narrow the variability among radiology practices and provide guidance to achieve quality in radiology.

This online repository contains objective, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for healthcare professionals. It provides the best evidence-based guidance, developed by nationally and internationally recognized medical organizations and medical specialty societies, to help practitioners provide safe and effective patient care.

ACR resources to assist in providing effective imaging and therapy while minimizing potential risk during exposure to ionizing radiation. Includes related reports, statements, and ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards.

Radiation Dose Reference Chart lists typical radiation doses for various imaging examinations. It is a valuable tool for understanding radiation doses in medical imaging and can be found on the ACR Radiation Safety Resources webpage.

The premier resource for using contrast media in imaging, the 2024 edition includes updated chapters on Contrast Media in Children, Ferumoxytol as MRI Contrast Medium, Gastrointestinal Contrast Media in Adults: Indications and Guidelines, and Administration of Contrast Media to Women Who are Breast-Feeding.

Example premedication regimens to prevent contrast reaction, as well as actions to take based on symptoms if patient experiences a reaction to contrast medium.

Radiology Lessons is a tutorial on introduction to radiology for the first-year medical student. Current methods of imaging are explained, and many regional imaging studies are provided for review.

The ACR Guidance App provides interactive mobile access to select clinical guidance content from the ACR website. Download to access the ACR Contrast Reaction Cards, Reporting and Data Systems (RADS), and Incidental Findings (IF) content.

In this video lesson, Paul Andersen explains how radioactive nuclei can decay by releasing an alpha, beta, or gamma particle. The exact moment of decay for each nucleus cannot be determined, but probability is useful in predicting the half-life. The half-life is the amount of time required for half of the radioactive nucleus to decay, and it depends on the decay constant. Several examples of decay and several half-lives are included.
