The American College of Radiology is a voluntary professional organization for radiologists and other physicians and scientists who practice and advance radiologic care. The nonprofit organization works to advance radiology by supporting these radiological professionals and those who benefit from their efforts.The American College of Radiology often focuses on advocacy work related to public policy matters. It has recently been working to expand access to CT lung cancer screenings for Medicare patients. Data gathered in the National Lung Screening Trial shows that patients who receive these screenings annually experience a 20 percent lower rate of lung cancer mortality. These exams are highly cost effective, but not always covered for Medicare patients. The American College of Radiology has successfully helped many high-risk patients access screenings, but many more remain unable to obtain this preventive service.
