Newswise — RESTON, VA — The American College of Radiology (ACR) Annual Conference on Quality and Safety helps radiology practices add value through cost-effective service quality improvement.

The interactive program is designed for physicians, medical physicists, practice leaders, technologists, business managers, and hospital staff and administrators or others in the health care team.
