“ACR appropriateness criteria are created and continually updated by multispecialty teams and widely accepted across the medical field as a national standard. Use of these evidence-based guidelines helps ensure that patients get the right care for their condition and avoid unnecessary care,” says Frank J. Rybicki, MD, PhD, FACR, chair of the ACR Committee on Appropriateness Criteria.
