IAC CT Accreditation Support

If your facility in Alabama is pursuing or maintaining IAC CT Accreditation for maxillofacial CT imaging, whether for sinus, facial bone, orbits, or mandibular scans, you need a Qualified Expert who can handle every required physics step. Heartland Physics offers comprehensive IAC compliance support throughout the state, encompassing acceptance testing, annual image quality surveys, radiation shielding verification, and staff safety training.

​​

​​Your Qualified Expert for IAC-Approved Maxillofacial CT Accreditation​

IAC CT accreditation standards require that a Medical Physicist or Qualified Expert perform specific evaluations and documentation. We specialize in:

• Acceptance Testing for CT Units
  Ensuring your new or upgraded CT system meets performance, image quality, and dose standards before clinical use.

• Annual Image Quality & Radiation Dose Surveys
  Comprehensive evaluation of spatial resolution, low-contrast detectability, CTDIvol, and dose optimization, as outlined in IAC’s Accreditation Checklist.

• Post-Installation Radiation Shielding Verification Surveys
  Measuring radiation levels in and around your imaging rooms to verify shielding effectiveness against IAC and state limits.

• Radiation Safety Training with Certificates
  On-site training for your staff covering ALARA principles, radiation dose monitoring, and IAC compliance — with certificates for accreditation documentation.
