“In response to the need for guidance in ordering and performing advance cardiac imaging procedures, such as CT and CMR, the ACCF has focused a great deal of resources in helping to determine if it is 'reasonable' or appropriate to perform a test for a specific indication.”
“The goal of the document is not to rank order diagnostic tests but to help guide physicians and patients when it comes to making reasonable testing choices amongst the available testing modalities. These ratings help ensure that tests with the highest potential to benefit are being used, while tests are avoided that can cause unnecessary concern and complicated follow-up.”
“We're very proud of this.”
