After more than three months of evaluation, AGA’s Center for GI Imaging has been accredited as a computed tomography (CT) facility by the American College of Radiology (ACR). The ACR is considered the gold standard for accreditation in the radiology community because of its rigorous evaluation process and is one of only three government-approved organizations to evaluate and certify imaging facilities under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) of 2008.
During the process, the ACR verified qualifications of AGA’s physicians and medical personnel, reviewed radiation dose assessments and scrutinized both clinical and phantom image quality. Additionally, quality assurance procedures and safety standards for both staff and patients were examined.
This endorsement not only sets the Center for GI Imaging apart from other outpatient imaging facilities, but further demonstrates AGA’s commitment to provide the highest level of image quality and safety to our patients.
AGA is proud to announce that Dr. Girish Anand and Dr. Yasmin K. Karim have joined the practice. Dr. Anand sees patients at the Saint Joseph’s (Sandy Springs) location and Dr. Karim sees patients at the North Fulton and Cumming locations.
To support and expand the practice’s treatment of hemorrhoids, AGA has established The Hemorrhoid Clinic at Midtown Endoscopy Center with Dr. Neal Osborn serving as medical director. Dr. Osborn has performed over 3,000 hemorrhoid banding procedures and has worked closely with CRH, the maker of the O’Regan System used throughout the practice. By offering the procedure in the Midtown Endoscopy Center, patients will have an additional level of privacy and comfort.
