TGH Imaging Again Accomplishes an Accreditation Milestone as an American College of Radiology-Designated Comprehensive Breast Imaging Center

ACR accreditations are considered the gold standard in medical imaging.

Tampa, FL (April 12, 2024) – The American College of Radiology (ACR) recently designated TGH Imaging, located on Parsons Avenue in Brandon, Florida, as a Comprehensive Breast Imaging Center (CBIC). It is the second TGH Imaging Center to receive this elite designation, representing facilities accredited in all ACR breast imaging accreditation programs and modules offering access to advanced breast cancer testing combined with a top quality patient experience.

ACR Accreditation requires the imaging team to have the appropriate experience and qualifications, perform quality control tests established by the ACR and equipment manufacturer, and submit images for quality review, all with a renewal process every three years. For patients needing breast imaging, accreditation is an indicator that the imaging facility  maintains excellence in operations and patient care and strives to assure the highest level of medical image quality and safety.

The TGH Imaging team on Parsons Avenue earned all required ACR accreditations in Mammography, Stereotactic-Guided Breast Biopsy, Ultrasound-Guided Breast Biopsy, Breast Ultrasound and Breast MRI to become a CBIC. This designation reflects the facility's capability to optimize early diagnoses for patients.

"We are honored to receive this designation by the ACR,” said Sherri Lewman, senior vice president of Enterprise Imaging at Tampa General Hospital. “It is a testament to our team's unwavering dedication to excellence in breast imaging and our ongoing commitment to providing the best possible care for our patients. We understand the importance of early detection and accurate diagnosis in the fight against breast cancer," Lewman said. "This accreditation reaffirms our position as a leader in breast imaging and aligns with our mission to improve patient outcomes through early detection and personalized care."

The address for TGH Imaging Parsons is 427 S. Parsons Ave., Suite 100 in Brandon. The address for TGH Imaging Northside, the first in the network to be designated as a Comprehensive Breast Imaging Center, is 2716 University Square Drive, Tampa.
