VCU Health Radiology Department Designated an ACR Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence for Second Term

Richmond, VA - March 2025 - VCU Health Radiology Department received the Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence® (DICOE) by the American College of Radiology® (ACR®) designation for a second three-year term.  Among adult imaging centers, VCU Health is the only health system to achieve the designation in Richmond, the only academic medical center in Virginia and one of only 20 academic medical facilities in the United States.

The DICOE program which represents the pinnacle of medical imaging care, is an achievement that goes beyond accreditation to recognize best-quality imaging practices and diagnostic care. This includes a comprehensive assessment of the entire medical imaging enterprise, including structure and outcomes. The DICOE designation recognizes excellence at multiple levels — including the professional staff, the imaging equipment’s quality assurance program, the quality projects, the technology and the policies and procedures the organization follows — and superior patient care.

The VCU Health Radiology imaging centers with this DICOE designation are Main Hospital Radiology, Gateway Radiology, Short Pump Pavilion, and Stony Point 9000.  The centers are accredited by the ACR in all imaging modalities they provide, and actively participate in the ACR Dose Index Registry and Lung Cancer Screening, as well as Image Wisely® and Image Gently® initiatives.
