Wuesthoff Brevard Cardiology Group granted accreditation by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation on Nuclear Medicine Laboratories

[Brevard County, FL] – Wuesthoff Brevard Cardiology Group has been granted accreditation by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation on Nuclear Medicine Laboratories (ICANL) for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging. 

According to ICANL, Wuesthoff’s Brevard Cardiology Group is one of the first nuclear cardiology laboratories in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico to be recognized for their commitment to the testing of nuclear cardiology and nuclear diagnostic evaluations for voluntary accreditation.    

Each year, more than five and a half million nuclear cardiology studies are performed in
The United States.  As a result, physicians are better able to detect the presence of cardiovascular disease and may also discover important information regarding the occurrence of future heart attacks. 

The ICANL was established with the support of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, the Society of Nuclear Medicine, the Society of Nuclear Medicine Technologist Section, the American College of Cardiology, the American College of Nuclear Physicians, and the Academy of Molecular Imaging.
