⁶⁸Ga PET/CT Accreditation

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. 

• As of 2021, the ⁶⁸Ga accreditation fee is €700.00 net, and EARL ¹⁸F standards 2 accreditation must be active and maintained.
