This Video explains the phantom measurement required to attain and maintain PET/CT EARL Accreditation.
EARL has set up the EARL FDG-PET/CT accreditation programme, which was launched in July 2010, to help imaging sites meet the standard requirements indicated in the guideline. The EARL FDG-PET/CT accreditation programme is endorsed by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Imaging Group.

For further information on the rationale, please refer to the presentation of R. Boellaard, scientific leader of the accreditation programme and watch the video on youtube.
COST OF ACCREDIATION
The accreditation fee refers to calendar year per site per scanner for an accreditation program. It covers the cost for the initial accreditation process and maintaining the status of an EARL Accredited Center of Excellence.
For further information concerning the benefits and services of the accreditation programme please refer to the general information sheet as well as to the information sheet for CROs and pharmaceutical companies.
