Reston, Va. (Feb. 16, 2015) — Quality and safety sessions at ACR 2015™ can help radiology professionals address hot-button issues — including radiation dose optimization, mammography value, quality metrics and pay-for-performance measures. Demonstrating quality is increasingly important as medicine transitions from volume to value-based care.

Quality and safety is a primary focus at The Crossroads — ACR 2015, the all-new American College of Radiology (ACR) annual meeting, May 17–21 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC.
