The Diagnostic Imaging Services
Department at Oakwood Annapolis Hospital
in Wayne has achieved a new standard in
excellence.
The department recently earned full
accreditation from the American College of
Radiology in Ultrasound, MRI, CT, Nuclear
Medicine and Positron Emission
Tomography as a result of a recent survey,
according to Dawn Baker, manager of
Imaging Services at Annapolis.
“This is a direct reflection of the imaging
team and their commitment to quality and
excellence,” said Baker. “It's because of our
technologists, along with Drs. Venkat
Rudraraju M.D., chief of radiology, Erica
Luster M.D., vice-chief of radiology and
Ashok Jain M.D., chief of staff, all working
together that we were able to accomplish
this.”
“We are very proud of this tremendous
accomplishment,” added Rudraraju. “It
shows that our staff is recognized by industry
experts as being experts in their craft. We
have a deep foundation of skilled physicians
and experts using the safest, most up-to-date
equipment. It is a testament to the high quali-
ty carewe offer eachand every day.”
The American College of Radiology is a
national organization serving more than
32,000 diagnostic-interventional radiologists,
radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine and
medical physicists. The group accredits facil-
ities in breast ultrasound, computed tomog-
raphy (CT), magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), mammography, nuclear medicine,
PET, stereotactic breast biopsy, ultrasound
and radiation oncology. Accreditation is
based on an evaluation of the department by
board-certified radiologists and medical
physicists who are experts in the field. They
also evaluate personnel qualifications, ade-
quacy of facility equipment, quality control
procedures andquality assurance programs.
“This recognition is the result of hard
work and dedication to providing the highest
level of service to the greater Wayne commu-
nity,” said Eric Widner, division president of
Oakwood Healthcare. “It shows that we con-
tinue to be committed to operating a high-
quality medical facility that offers the best
possible care to the community.”
