In 2021 EARL released a 68Ga PET/CT accreditation. Based on previous studies1 this accreditation is derived from 18F standards 2, which is a prerequisite for 68Ga PET/CT accreditation. All 68Ga reconstructions for quantification when referring to EARL accreditation should be done using the approved parameters for 18F standards 2 accreditation1.
COST OF ACCREDIATION
The accreditation fee is net and refers to a calendar year per site per scanner. It covers the cost for the initial accreditation process and maintaining the status of an EARL Accredited Center of Excellence.
