West Ridge Receives Accreditation in Obstetric and Gynecologic Ultrasound from the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM)

Posted on: 05/07/2009

The Ultrasound Practice Council of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine is pleased to announce that West Ridge Obstetrics & Gynecology is among a growing number of ultrasound practices to achieve accreditation in Obstetric and Gynecologic Ultrasound.

The Measure of Excellence
Accreditation by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) demonstrates a facility’s clinical excellence and its commitment to the highest quality patient care when providing diagnostic ultrasound services.  To become accredited, a practice must undergo a rigorous and detailed application process.

There are no state or federal laws overseeing the performance of diagnostic ultrasound.  AIUM accreditation, which is a voluntary process, gives patients the assurance that a facility is qualified to perform their ultrasound examinations.
