Other Cardiovascular
Testing Supplement (Add On)
(e.g., myocardial sympathetic innervation imaging (i.e.,Adreview),
cardiac molecular imaging, cardiac shunt studies, first pass, venogram/thrombus localization)
An additional testing area (or areas) may be added to a facility’s current accreditation at any time during the three-year accreditation cycle. Accreditation is granted only for the specific testing areas for which a facility has applied and submitted an application. Though facilities may be performing other testing in the facility, those areas are not covered under the accreditation until an application for the specific testing type is submitted and granted accreditation.
Please answer all questions, required attachments will be indicated by the symbol. Case studies requirements are listed on the last page. (If new staff is being added, please also submit the required staff forms.)
