American College of Radiology Renews Crestwood’s Outpatient Center Accreditation
9/3/2025
(Madison, AL) (September 5) — Crestwood Outpatient Center in Madison (Hughes Road) has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in mammography as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology® (ACR®).
Mammography is a specific type of imaging test that uses a low-dose X-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting specific requirements based on ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported back to the facility and provide the practice with a comprehensive report that can be used for continuous practice improvement.
“Earning ACR accreditation is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our imaging team,” said Julie McCain. “Our patients can feel confident knowing they are receiving the highest standard of mammography care in a safe, comfortable environment. We are proud to provide this level of quality and excellence to the community we serve.”
In addition to this accreditation at the Madison location, Crestwood Women’s Center in Huntsville is recognized by the American College of Radiology as a Comprehensive Breast Center. This national recognition includes accreditation in mammography, breast ultrasound, breast ultrasound guided biopsy, stereotactic breast biopsy and breast MRI.
With board-certified radiologists and a team of highly trained technologists, Crestwood provides accurate imaging and timely results to support patient diagnosis and treatment.
